FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of this item will not result in the use of Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). The proposed resolution will not result in significant costs to the Department of Public Works (Department). The minor administrative costs to update Department records and the cost to install and maintain signage for the “No Parking” zones are minimal and will be funded by Gas Tax Revenue. Sufficient appropriation is included in the Department’s 2021-22 Road Operations budget.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
A request to enforce a no-parking zone was received by the Sheriff’s Department and County Code Enforcement prompting a traffic engineering investigation by the Department on State Street, between Highland Avenue and Adams Street, in the Muscoy area. The request was made due to food truck vendors parking along the sides of the road causing traffic conditions. State Street is a four-lane road, with two lanes of travel in each direction with not enough space from edge line to curb for parking. When food truck vendor vehicles park along these sections of roadway they encroach into the traveled roadway creating unsafe conditions. To reduce the hazards in the roadway, the Department recommends the Board of Supervisors establish a “No Parking Zone” for all vehicles along the east side of State Street from Adams Street to Highland Avenue approximately 525 feet and along the west side of the street from Adams Street south approximately 315 feet pursuant to County Code Section 52.0118(a) under Title 5, Division 2.
The proposed Resolution will also direct the Road Commissioner to perform such acts as are necessary to implement the Resolution, which includes posting the signages per County Code Section 52.0118(a), to assist in improving the safety of the motorists traveling along the roadway.
PROCUREMENT
Not applicable.
