Parking restrictions in Montclair include several public streets
MONTCLAIR - Parking in the city on several public streets as well as in a bus loading zone at Kingsley Elementary School will soon be restricted.
The public as well as Ontario-Montclair School District and Montclair Public Works Committee officials requested the changes.
The changes:
Elimination of parking for trucks carrying more than 10,000 pounds on both sides of Brooks Street from Ramona Avenue to a point 480 feet east.
"While the trucks on Brooks Street are parking legally, drivers pulling out of these industrial areas say when they exit the driveway, they can't see because the trucks restrict their view," said Steve Lustro, community development director.
Restriction of parking on the north side of Howard Street between Wesley and Essex avenues for street sweeping between 7 a.m. and 2 p.m. Mondays.
Bus parking at a bus dropoff area will be allowed between 6:30 and 8:30 a.m. Monday through Friday at Kingsley Elementary, 5625 Kingsley St. The school has not bused students in a while, but that changed this year.
"We have some students that qualify for busing, so we now have buses coming to that school," said Jim Kidwell, OMSD deputy superintendent of human resources.
"This way when the buses do come to the school, they can get in and get out easily."
It will cost $1,000 to purchase signs, posts and hardware to implement the changes.
The signs are expected to be up in 30 days. Affected property and business owners would be notified regarding the restrictions before the signs are installed.
