Foss, City Manager " SUBJECT: Implementation of Parking Regulations Along St. Patrick-Way Prepared by Obaid Khan, Transportation and Operations Manager EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City Council will consider the implementation of no-parking zones along St. Patrick Way. No-parking zones are proposed in areas where there is insufficient roadway width to provide on- street parking and in areas where on-street parking would obstruct the visibility of motorists and pedestrians. These no-parking zones are intended to eliminate potential safety concerns due to conflicts between vehicles as well as provide greater visibility to conflicting traffic. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost to implement the no-parking zones along St. Patrick Way by installing street signs and by painting red curbs can be accommodated in the Fiscal Year 2014-2015 street maintenance operating budget. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Resolution Amending the Dublin Traffic Code Approving Parking Regulations along St. Patrick Way. ubmitte° By Reviewed By Public Works Director Assistant City Manager DESCRIPTION: There are currently no parking restrictions on St. Patrick Way between Amador Plaza Road and Golden Gate Drive. Vehicles are being parked near intersections, driveways and inside right- turn lane pockets. Vehicles parked in these areas cause sight visibility concerns for motorists and pedestrians inside intersections and at exiting driveways. Vehicles are also parked in parts of the roadway that do not have adequate width to accommodate on-street parking, causing potential conflicts with vehicles in adjacent lane. This item was reviewed by the Traffic Safety Committee (TSC) on July 14, 2014 and it was recommended that staff paint parking stall markings on the pavement to provide better Page 1 of 2 ITEM NO. 4.6 delineation of parking areas. However, motorists have continued to park outside of the parking stalls. At a follow up discussion at the TSC on September 17, 2014, it was recommended that no-parking regulations be implemented and no-parking signs to be installed. In order to alleviate this traffic safety concern, Staff is recommending implementing no-parking zones along St. Patrick Way between Amador Plaza Road and Golden Gate Drive. A draft resolution (Attachment 1) is included that would implement no-parking regulations on St. Patrick Way. A map delineating the areas to be marked as no-parking zones is included as Attachment 2.
