FROM: Supervisor Tom Torlakson Contra
Costa
DATE: August 16 , 1988 County
SUBJECT: "NO PARKING" AND "NOT A THROUGH STREET" SIGNS ON MARY ANN AVENUE
AND WILLOW PASS ROAD IN WEST PITTSBURG
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Request the Department of Public Works
to place as expeditiously as possible "No Parking" and "Not a Through
Street" signs on Mary Ann Avenue and Willow Pass Road in West
Pittsburg.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The relatively remote dead-end
street behind the Willowbrook Apartment complex in West Pittsburg is a
haven for drug dealers. According to several witnesses, individuals
openly sell drugs out of parked cars and use the street to park cars
for convenient get-aways.
The West Pittsburg Crime Task Force has suggested that one
way to deal with the blatant drug activity in the area is to prohibit
parking on Mary Ann Avenue. If people are unable to park and the
street is posted "Not a Through Street" as well, there would be no
reason for vehicles to be on that street.
