RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Traffic Resolution No. 2016/4447 to prohibit parking at all times on a portion of Glen Oak Court (Road No. 3667CN), as recommended by the Public Works Director, Lafayette area.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Parking of vehicles would remain unrestricted through the curve on Glen Oak Court.

BACKGROUND:

Earlier this year, residents of Glen Oak Court requested that we consider restricting parking, particularly through a curve in the roadway due to limited visibility. Subsequent investigation revealed that Glen Oak Court is 32 feet wide and makes an approximate 30 degree bend 200 feet north of Diablo View Road. This alignment and road width presents limited visibility when coupled with parked vehicles through the curve. Although there is no collision history through this curve, prohibiting parking on just one side of the roadway at the apex of this curve would improve visibility while allowing sufficient clearance for two vehicles traveling in both lanes. Ample parking spaces would remain for the benefit of the public on the roadway.
