Foss, City Manager " SUBJECT: Modification of Parking Regulations along Antone Way, Lee Thompson Street, and Shady Creek Road Prepared by. Obaid Khan, Transportation and Operations Manager EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City Council will consider changes to parking regulations along Antone Way, Lee Thompson Street and Shady Creek Road. Along Antone Way, no-parking regulations are proposed to accommodate roadway striping changes aimed at improving traffic circulation at Green Elementary School entrance. On Lee Thompson Street, a time-limited loading zone is proposed to allow drop-off and pick-up of children for a "Walking School Bus" program at Kolb Elementary School. And, along Shady Creek Road, modifications to parking regulations are proposed to ensure adequate sight visibility for motorists, while providing additional parking in areas of demand. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost to implement the no-parking zones along Antone Way, Lee Thompson Street, and Shady Creek Road by modifying curb striping can be accommodated in the Fiscal Year 2014- 2015 Street Maintenance Operating Budget. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Resolutions- 1. Resolution Amending the Dublin Traffic Code Approving Parking Regulations along Antone Way 2. Resolution Amending the Dublin Traffic Code Approving Parking Regulations along Lee Thompson Street 3. Resolution Amending the Dublin Traffic Code Approving Parking Regulations along Shady Creek Road ,j �ubmitteb By ' � Reviewed By Public Works Director Assistant City Manager Page 1 of 3 ITEM NO. 4.7 DESCRIPTION: Antone Way Parking Regulations Staff met with representatives of the Dublin Unified School District (DUSD) regarding traffic circulation along Antone Way. It was noted that, during pick-up and drop-off hours, eastbound vehicles are queued up to turn left and westbound vehicles are queued up to turn right into a single driveway providing access to Green Elementary School. This line of vehicles often obstructs vehicles proceeding through along Antone Way. Staff is proposing various roadway marking changes to alleviate the existing congestion (Attachment 4). As part of these changes, it is necessary to restrict parking (Red Curb or No-Parking Signs) along a 120' stretch of roadway on the south side of Antone Way and a 60' stretch of roadway on the north side of Antone Way. There are no homes fronting Antone Way along the proposed on-street parking restrictions, and therefore, there are no impacts to residential parking in this area. Staff has received support from DUSD for these changes. Lee Thompson Street Parking Regulations Staff met with representatives of DUSD to continue to work to improve traffic circulation near Kolb Elementary School. At the request of DUSD, the City established a passenger loading zone along the west side of Lockhart Street in 2013. Staff is proposing to implement a similar time-limited passenger loading zone (White Curb) along Lee Thompson Street to improve pick-up and drop-off operations at Kolb Elementary School (Attachment 5). DUSD staff and parents are planning to use this location to gather children and then walk to school as a group. This type of pedestrian program is commonly known as a "Walking School Bus." This location was selected as there is a direct route to Kolb Elementary School along the existing sidewalk or through Passatempo Park without crossing any vehicular roadways. Shady Creek Road Parking Regulations Staff received concerns from residents along Shady Creek Road north of Willow Creek Drive regarding inadequate sight distance at intersections as well as along the curve of the roadway due to parked cars. Staff worked with the residents to create a plan to address these concerns. This plan includes the implementation of new parking tee markings to better organize parking in the area and trimming of vegetation near roadway intersections to provide better sight visibility. Additionally, parking regulations are proposed to be modified (Attachment 6). Implementation of parking restrictions (Red Curb) in order to ensure sight visibility is proposed at following intersections: 1. Intersection of Squirrel Creek Circle and Shady Creek Road 2. Intersection of Willow Creek Drive and Shady Creek Road In order to provide additional parking for residents, removal of parking restrictions is proposed along a 120' section on the north side of Shady Creek Road west of Quail Creek Circle. This portion of Shady Creek Road has no fronting single family homes.
