RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Traffic Resolution No. 2021/5000 to prohibit stopping, standing, or parking on Lomas Cantadas (Road No. 2244C), as recommended by the Public Works Director, Orinda area. (District II)

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Orinda and the Orinda Police Department have received several calls and complaints from residents in the area, who have stated that they observe high-risk behavior at turnouts on Lomas Cantadas. Based on the statements made by the residents, enforcement agency observations, as well as the fire danger presented by the conditions in the Grizzly Peak area, and resulting requests from the multi-agencies of Moraga-Orinda Fire Department, County Sheriff’s Department, and the Orinda Police Department, the County Public Works Department Transportation Division recommends enacting a traffic resolution to restrict parking on Lomas Cantadas in the Orinda area.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Parking will remain unrestricted and enforcement authorities will be unable to enforce parking violations.
