Re: Parking Restrictions Portos Drive
Dear Home Owner:
This letter is to inform you about a new parking restriction that the City is considering
implementing on Portos Drive.
The City has been working with residents to address traffic and safety concerns on Portos. The
neighborhood is concerned with students from West Valley Community College parking along
the street during school hours. Other issues include problems with mail delivery, garbage
pickup, and an inability to have a safe sight distance while backing out of the driveway.
One solution would be to restrict parking from 8:00 am – 3:00 pm Monday-Friday on the west
side of Portos Drive for the entire length of block (between Allendale and Harleigh Drive. This
new restriction could have an impact on parking on the east side of the street as well.
The City is seeking input from residents before moving forward with any restrictions.
Please contact me at 408-868-1258 or kborel@saratoga.ca.us before May 31 if you have any
questions or concern.
Sincerely,
Kristin Borel

Re: Parking Restrictions Portos Drive – Additional Information
Dear Home Owner:
The City received a petition supporting a parking restriction on Portos Drive, between Allendale
Avenue and Harleigh Drive, on both sides of the street.
The City had been working with residents to address traffic and safety concerns on the east side
of Portos, and now has information supporting a restriction of the west side of Portos. The new
proposal would be to restrict parking from 8:00 am – 3:00 pm, Saturday, Sunday and
Holidays excluded, on both sides of Portos Drive for the entire length of block (between
Allendale and Harleigh Drive.
Before moving forward, the City is checking that residents are supportive of the proposed
parking restriction.
Please contact me at 408-868-1258 or kborel@saratoga.ca.us before Friday, June 3rd if you have
any questions or concerns.
If there are no objections by June 3rd, I will schedule this for approval by the City Council. After
the meeting, a work order will be placed to order and install the new signs. Our goal is to have
signs placed in your neighborhood later this summer and before school begins.
Sincerely,
Kristin Borel
