While vehicles have been known to park along this section, particularly during school drop-off and pick-up times, it is recommended that, in the interest of public safety, "No Parking" zones be designated on the north and south sides of the street. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost to paint the curb red can be accommodated in the Fiscal Year 2011-2012 Street Maintenance Operating Budget. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the' City Council adopt the resolution approving parking regulation on Antone Way. Submitted By Reviewed By Director of Public Works Assistant City Manager Page 1 of 2 ITEM NO. 8.2 DESCRIPTION: Antone Way is a two lane residential collector that connects Fallon Road to the east and Dublin Ranch Drive to the west. Intermediate intersecting streets include Grafton Street and Bridgepointe Drive. Between the two intersecting streets, Antone Way fronts Green Elementary School. During school drop-off and pick-up times, drivers park within the school parking lot as well as on-street along Antone Way and Bridgepointe Drive. Vehicles have been known to park along most of the length of Antone Way east of Bridgepointe Drive. On the east end of Antone Way, there exists a center median approximately 80 feet in length immediately west of Fallon Road. Adjacent to the median, it is very difficult for a moving vehicle to pass if a vehicle is parked, particularly on the north (westbound) side of the street. As such, a 150-foot "No Parking" zone is recommended on the north side of the street (Attachment 1). Because there are two turn lanes (for Antone Way eastbound traffic) and insufficient width to accommodate a parking lane on the south side of the street, a 150-foot "No Parking" zone is recommended on the south side as well, although no vehicles have been observed by City staff parking on this section. In all, 300 feet of parking will be prohibited; although based on observation, this will only displace two or so vehicles that typically park on the north side. Additional space is available elsewhere on street to accommodate the displaced vehicles. A resolution (Attachment 2) is included that would designate 150 feet of "No Parking" zones on the north and south side of Antone Way west of Fallon Road. The Traffic Safety Committee, comprised of Public Works engineering and maintenance staff and Police Services, has reviewed and supports this recommendation. The Traffic Safety Committee, comprised of Public Works engineering and maintenance staff and Police Services, reviewed and supports this recommendation. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: No noticing required as there are no houses fronting the recommended street sections. A copy of the staff report has been provided to Dublin Unified School District. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Location Map 2. Resolution Approving Parking Regulation on Antone Way Page 2 of 2 0 M r a.
