In reviewing the Foothill Parkway PUD we still see potential traffic
problems. These are:
1. A 4 way stop at the new access to Steele's. This could
impede customers entry or exit to either Steele's or the
Good Times Drive -In due to stacking at the stop sign.
2. There is minimal parking for customers who after purchasing
their food, will park and eat in their vehicle. Sources
say that 20% of the customers will park and walk up and
place their order. I went and observed the Good Times
in Boulder. The one thing I noticed was the 8 parking
spaces were not always adequate during their peak time
of 11:30 to 1:30. When those spaces were full they parked
in an alley.
3. If customers are to use the eight parking spaces, they are
located such that after exiting the customer must turn left
crossing traffic and again cross traffic to gain access
to these spaces.
4. Increased congestion and disruption of traffic flow during
Good Times' peak times ie. 40% of their business is done
between 11:30 and 1:30.
In conclusion we cannot accept this plan until these issues have been
dealt with.
