FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost to implement the no-parking zone along Scarlett Court can be accommodated in the Fiscal Year 2016-2017 Street Maintenance Operating Budget. DESCRIPTION: Staff reviewed the field conditions and observed drivers of larger vehicles often had difficulty navigating the right turn onto Scarlett Drive when a vehicle was parked along the curb on the north side of Scarlett Court just east of Scarlett Drive. Staff also confirmed that a significant number of larger vehicles utilize this section of roadway. Existing businesses located along Scarlett Court include: car dealerships, automotive repair shops, a recreational vehicle rental shop, and a moving truck rental company. All of these businesses require the use of larger vehicles and/or large semi -trailer trucks during regular operations. In addition, the Alameda County Fire Department Maintenance Facility and the City of Dublin Corporation Yard are also located on Scarlett Court. Large fire engines and construction trucks access these facilities on a regular basis.
