BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CalFire) fire station, located at 18365 Cajon Blvd., in Devore, has expressed concerns regarding vehicles parking within the road right-of-way affecting the firetrucks’ maneuverability and creating view obstructions at the Cajon Court and Cajon Boulevard intersection. Cajon Court is a two-lane local street with one lane of travel in each direction with the southeast side adjacent to the Cajon Boulevard and no outlet on the northwest side.
In response to CalFire’s request and concerns, the Department conducted a traffic engineering investigation along Cajon Court. Based upon the Department’s traffic engineering investigation, the Department recommends the Board of Supervisors establish a “No Parking/Tow-Away Zone” zone on south side of Cajon Court from Cajon Boulevard northwesterly for a distance of 450 feet and on the north side of Cajon Court, 300 feet northwest of Cajon Boulevard westerly for a distance of 60 feet, pursuant to County Code Section 52.0132(a), and a “No Overnight Parking/Tow-Away Zone” on the north side of Cajon Court from 240 feet northwest of Cajon Boulevard westerly for a distance of 200 feet, in the Devore area, pursuant to County Code Sections 52.018(a) and 52.0132(a).
The proposed Resolution will also direct the County Road Commissioner to perform such acts as are necessary to implement the Resolution, which includes the posting of No Stopping/No Parking/Tow-Away signs, per County Code Sections 52.018(a) and 52.0132, to assist in improving the safety of the firetrucks traveling along the roadway.
