This contract provides for the installation of traffic signals and striping and markings adjacent to the new improvements. The cost is estimated at $176.00 for 220 feet of red curb. DESCRIPTION : The Traffic Engineer has reviewed the need for parking restrictions adjacent to the intersection at Dublin Court and Dublin Boulevard. The result of the review is the recommendation that red curb be placed along Dublin Court. The purpose is to address safety issues related to sight distance and providing appropriate space f6r vehicles to manuever once the traffic signal is installed. The number of approach lanes is limited-to one without the parking restrictions. This would affect the efficiency of the operation of the intersection. TJKM has discussed the proposal with representatives of the adjacent businesses. Mr. Ozzie Davis, of Ozzie Davis Pontiac Toyota expressed a concern over the loss of curbside parking for customers. The businesses located on the east side of Dublin Court did not object to the restriction. It is recommended that the City Council conduct a formal public hearing, waive the reading and adopt as an urgency Ordinance. ITEM NO. ~__ COPIES TO: MEMORANDUM 4637 Chabot Drive, Suite 214 Pleasanton Ca. 94566 (41§) 463-0611 DATE: June 25, 1985 TO: Lee Thompson, City Engineer, City of Dublin FROM: Chris D. Kinzel SUBJECT: Red Curbing on Dublin Court As requested, we have investigated the need for red curbing on Dublin Court near the intersection of Dublin Boulevard/Dublin Court. Before reaching Dublin Boulevard, Dublin Court follows along a curving alignment with a lO0-foot center-line radius. This is a tight curve, which presents potential sight distance problems. The elimination of parking along this curve could alleviate this problem. Moreover, due to the new traffic signals at this location, two northbound approach lanes are needed on Dublin Court at the intersection of Dublin Boulevard/Dublin Court, which could not be obtained under the existing intersection configuration without prohibiting parking on the eastside of Dublin Court. The red-curb restriction would benefit both the right turn movement onto Dublin Boulevard and the left turn movement from Dublin Boulevard onto Dublin Court in terms of maneuverability. A survey of existing businesses along Dublin Court near the intersection reflects that no one has an objection to the contemplated parking prohibition, except Mr. Ozzie Davis of Ozzie Davis Pontiac Toyota, who does not think there is a safety problem and is concerned about losing on-street parking spaces for customers. A list of surveyed businesses is attached. In summary, we are recommending the installation of red curbing on both sides of Dublin Court near Dublin Boulevard. On the westside the red-curb zone should_should extend for a minimum of 100 feet from the crosswalk at the intersection down; and on the eastside it should extend from the crosswalk down for a minimum of 120 feet. rhm Attachment 15701 PLEASANTON · SACRAMENTO · FRESNO · CONCORD Colonal Associates, Inc.
