RECOMMENDATION: ,~..~,~Adopt resolution establishing a No Parking Zone (for permit parking
~ ~" only) for the north end of Crossridge Road
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The cost to print permit tags for display on vehicles is approximately
$100 for an initial run, with the potential of additional tags being
necessary in future years. If street signs are ultimately needed, the
cost of signage would be approximately $500. Operating budgets
for these activities include sufficient funds for both the permit tags
and permit parking signs.
DESCRIPTION: In response to the construction of the Alamo Creek Bike Path, some
of the residents at the end of Crossridge Road were concerned that users of the bike path would park at the
north end of Crossridge Road, thus reducing available on-street parking for adjacent residents.
One of the solutions identified to address this concern was the establishment of a "permit parking" area
at the north end of Crossridge Road, which would include the frontages of the last nine houses (street
addresses 8050, 8057, 8062, 8063, 8074, 8075, 8080, 8081, and 8094), and the bulb of the cul-de-sac end
of the street (see location diagram, Attachment 2). The purpose of the permit parking would be to prevent
the end of the street from becoming a staging area for the path. The total curb length of the preferential
parking zone is proposed to be 600 feet.
Residents of the north end of Crossridge Road have submitted a request to the City to consider this
solution (Attachment 3).

COPIES TO: Adjacent Residents
ITEM NO.
Permit parking is technically a "No Parking Zone" with preferential privileges and must therefore be
approved by the City Council. The proposed resolution to establish a ''No Parking Zone" at the north
end of Crossridge Road (Attachment 1) includes the qualification that this regulation will only become
effective if, once the bike path has op~ned to the public, the residents of this area determine that a parking
problem exists and provide written notification that the permit parking is needed. Signage would not be
installed until such time as the regulation becomes effective.
The City already has one existing permit parking area, which was put in place at the end of Scartett Court
after the BART station opened. This area was established in order to reserve parking primarily for Public
Works employees working out of the City's Corporation Yard. The permit tag is the "hanger" type that is
displayed on a rear-view mirror, allowing use on more than one vehicle and not requiring registration of
specific permit tag numbers or license plate numbers. If permit parking does become necessary on
Crossridge Road, it is proposed to utilize the same type of system and to issue several per household to
accommodate the residents' vehicles and their guests. The cost of the tags is relatively minor. Some Staff
time would be needed to issue the permits.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution approving a preferential parking zone at the
north end of Crossridge Road, to become effective upon written notification by the residents of the nine
homes that the preferential parking zone has become necessary.
