FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
The cost of installing approximately 500 feet of red and/or green
curbing is $175. In addition, two signs would be added at a cost of
$150. This cost would be paid from the Street Maintenance
Operating Budget.
DESCRIPTION: The design of the Dougherty Road/Sierra Lane Improvements
includes restriping on Sierra Lane to include separate lef~-, through, and fight-mm-only lanes for the
eastbound direction and separate left- and through/right-turn lanes for the westbound direction. This
design precludes safe parking along the curblines on Sierra Lane as shown in the diagram, Exhibit 2.
Because of complaints received in the past regarding sight-distance problems at driveways, Staff is
recommending the extension of the No Parking area past the first two driveways on the north side of Sierra
Lane (westerly of Dougherty Road).
Staff's initial intent was to install 250 feet of No Parking Zone along the north side of Sierra Lane;
however, after meeting with some of the business owners on that side of the street, it was determined that
a small amount of time-limited parking would be helpful. Therefore, it is proposed to install 35 feet of 15-
minute parking (green curb) at the location shown on the diagram. This limited parking zone would be
restricted to vehicles six feet in height or less because of the visibility concerns.
Following are the locations of these No Parking and Limited Parking Zones
Sierra Lane West of Dougherty:
North Side: 75' of No Parking Zone
35' of Limited (15 min.) Parking
140' of No ParkingZone
South Side: an additional 103' of No Parking Zone
(100' No Parking Zone already exists)
Sierra Lane East of Dougherty
North Side: 70' of No Parking Zone
South Side: 54' of No Parking Zone
On-street parking would still be allowed on most of Sierra Lane. The tight turn lane (eastbound to
southbound) will be of great benefit in reducing traffic congestion for those who work in the business park
and need to turn right onto Dougherty Road to access the freeway. In addition, sight distance will be
improved for drivers exiting driveways near the intersection.
A notice of this hearing has been distributed to the businesses adjacent to this intersection.
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, deliberate, and adopt the resolution
approving the No Parking and Limited Parking Zones on Sierra Lane.
