TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Christopher L. Foss, City Manager "
SUBJECT: Implementation of Parking Regulations along Bloomington ay
Prepared by Obaid Khan, Transportation and Operations Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider changes to parking regulations along Bloomington Way at
Putnam Court. These regulations are recommended in order to increase intersection sight
distance for motorists exiting Putnam Court and to improve traffic safety at the intersection.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The cost to implement the no-parking zone along Bloomington Way can be accommodated in
the Fiscal Year 2014-2015 Street Maintenance Operating Budget.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Resolution Amending the Dublin Traffic Code
Approving Parking Regulations along Bloomington Way.
"ubmitted By Reviewed By
Public Works Director Assistant City Manager
DESCRIPTION:
Staff received a request from a Putnam Court resident to refresh the red curb paint at the corner
of Bloomington Way and Putnam Court. This action was requested to prevent vehicles from
parking next to the intersection and obstructing the sight visibility of motorists exiting Putnam
Court. Staff found no evidence or documentation that the curb had been painted red in the past.
However, a field investigation did show a need to improve sight visibility at the intersection.
The combination of parked vehicles next to the intersection along with the horizontal and vertical
curvature of the roadway impacts motorist's visibility exiting Putnam Court. In order to improve
the sight visibility, staff is recommending the implementation of a no-parking zone along a 40'
section of Bloomington Way northeast of Putnam Court. This regulation will increase the
distance in which a motorist on Putnam Court can see approaching traffic from Bloomington
Way. The proposed action will remove two parking spots. This portion of Bloomington Way has

no fronting homes and staff has determined there is sufficient on-street parking in the area to
accommodate demand.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
A copy of this report was sent to resident that submitted the initial request.
