Foss, City Manager SUBJECT: Modification of Parking Regulation along Antone Way Prepared by: Sai Midididdi, Associate Civil Engineer EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City Council will consider adding a No Parking zone along Antone Way. This action will improve traffic circulation at the entrance of John Green Elementary School on Antone Way. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution Amending the Dublin Traffic Code Approving a No Parking Zone along Antone Way, west of South Bridgepoint Lane. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost to implement the no parking zone by installing red curb can be accommodated in the Fiscal Year 2018-2019 Street Maintenance Operating Budget. DESCRIPTION: Staff met with representatives of the Dublin Unified School District (DUSD) and school staff at John Green Elementary School regarding traffic circulation and operation at the school and on Antone Way. It was no ted that during pick-up and drop-off hours, eastbound vehicles are queued up to turn left into the school. This queue of vehicles often obstructs other vehicles traveling along Antone Way. To accommodate the traffic queues, improve traffic circulation, a nd control pedestrian crossings, Staff is proposing to extend the existing no parking zone by an additional 213 feet on the south side of Antone Way, between South Bridgepoint Lane and Grafton Street. This extension will help control pedestrian crossings by eliminating unsafe student crossings of Antone Way from vehicles using the curb lane as a drop-off zone. There are no homes that front on Antone Way in the proposed no parking zone. Therefore, minimal impact is anticipated to the residential parking in the area by increasing the no parking zone. The Traffic Safety Committee reviewed the concern and agreed with the Staff recommendation for an increased no parking zone. Page 2 of 2 STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE: None. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: Staff has notified DUSD staff of this recommended change. ATTACHMENTS: 1.
