The proposed removal of the "No Parking" zone would repeal a 100 foot section of red curb on Regional Street to accommodate additional parking demand in the area. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Sufficient funds are budgeted in the Street Maintenance Operating Budget to cover the cost of removing the existing red curb. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution amending the Dublin Traffic Code repealing a "No Parking" zone on a portion of Regional Street. Submitted By Director of Public Works DESCRIPTION: Reviewed By Assistant City Manager The City received a request to repeal a no parking zone on the west side of Regional St. immediately south of Dublin Boulevard. Due to the opening and expansion of several businesses in the adjacent retail center, demand for parking has increased in the area. Staff has reviewed the existing conditions and found that a 100 foot section of "No Parking" zone can be repealed on Regional Street. Twenty feet of red curb would remain south of the driveway for 7900 Dublin Boulevard and north of the driveway for 6850 Regional Street to ensure adequate sight distance for drivers exiting each driveway. The remaining portion of the "No Parking" zone in between the two aforementioned driveways could be repealed at the City Council's direction. Exhibit A to the staff report (Attachment 3) is an aerial photograph showing Page 1 of 2 ITEM NO. 4.10 the proposed action. Exhibit B to the staff report (Attachment 4) shows the street level view of the proposed action. Staff has determined that there is adequate lane width in the southbound direction of Regional Street to accommodate this request; however, it is recommended that the segment north of the driveway to 7900 Dublin Boulevard remain a "No Parking" zone due to its proximity to the Dublin Boulevard /Regional Street intersection and a more narrow southbound width. Additionally, no other potential sight distance issues were apparent during the field investigation. The proposed action would create approximately 5 additional on- street parking spaces. This potential removal of red curb described above was discussed with members of the Traffic Safety Committee who had no issues with the proposed removal. A Resolution is attached (Attachment 1) that would repeal a 100 foot section of the "No Parking" zone on Regional Street. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS /PUBLIC OUTREACH: Written notification (Attachment 2) of the proposed action was sent to all businesses on the adjacent frontage. At the writing of this report, one email (Attachment 5) in favor of the proposed action has been received. ATTACHMENTS: 1.
