Thank you for your attention to this matter, but the problem remains.

Hi Ted, thanks for checking back in. I just called the manager and he explained that he has all delivery trucks use the parking lot, with the exception of the larger McClain truck on Wed. and Fri mornings, which is too big for the lot. To address this, he said his workers make sure the curb side is available for it and it parks there to unload. The manager was very interested in any examples where this arrangement has not been followed. Please let me know if there are any and I will pass them on, or alternatively, I will direct any necessary enforcement in that direction. Thanks, Tim

Dear Tim:

Thank you for contacting the 7-Eleven manager about this serious problem. From personal observation, the curb is often not available, as cars need to park there, due to limited street parking. However, even when the truck is able to park along the curb, cars heading West on Bellevue must swerve into the oncoming lane. Attached is another recent photo taken at night (from another concerned neighbor), when the situation becomes especially dangerous. Thanks for your attention to this!

Ted

On March 7, 2014, a Friday evening, at around 6:45 PM, this very large McClane delivery truck can be seen double-parked on Bellevue Ave. next to 7-Eleven. The attached photo (and related photos in the other comments I've made on this traffic hazard) provides compelling visual evidence that this very hazardous traffic situation continues!

With 7-Eleven's departure from 501 North San Mateo Drive, the traffic hazard they created has been eliminated.
