passenger loading zone; adopt resolution
establishing no parking zone (to take effect on
effective date of ordinance).
FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
Approximately $400 to sandblast white curb and paint
red curb. This cost would be paid from the Street
Maintenance Operating Budget.
DESCRIPTION:
The U.S. Post Office on Village Parkway has moved its mailboxes inside the
parking lot, thus eliminating the need for the 94-foot white passenger loading
zone along the curb. In the course of working with the Post Office to
eliminate a traffic backup inside the Post Office lot, however, the City's
Traffic Engineer noted that installing 35 feet of no parking zone adjacent to
the center (exit) driveway would improve visibility for drivers leaving the
parking lot.
Since the passenger loading zone could not be considered legal on-street
parking space, Village Parkway would actually gain parking space for about
three cars with this action, and public safety would be improved.
Since the passenger loading zone was originally adopted by ordinance, it must
be repealed by ordinance. The no parking zone may be adopted by resolution.
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, (1) waive the
reading and INTRODUCE the ordinance repealing the passenger loading zone, AND
(2) adopt the resolution establishing the no parking zone, to become effective
on the effective date of the ordinance.

Dublin Post Office, Village Parkway
At our meeting with the Post Office officials on March 14, 1990, we discussed the
operation of their curbside mail drop. Circulation, parking and access to the parking
lot were discussed. It was agreed that the existing white curb on Village Parkway
should be eliminated. The curb should be painted red for approximately 35 feet
from the second driveway south of the property line. The remainder of the curb area
would provide space for parking three cars.
