SUBJECT:
Implementation of Parking Regulations along Scarlett Court
Prepared by: William Lai, Assistant Civil Engineer
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider implementing parking regulations along a 20 -foot section
of the north side of Scarlett Court near Scarlett Drive. These changes are
recommended to remove a potential obstruction in the t urning path of large vehicles
including semi-trailer trucks, fire engines and other large vehicles.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Amending the Dublin Traffic Code Approving Parking
Regulations along Scarlett Court.
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.
