RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Traffic Resolution No. 2019/4489 to prohibit stopping, standing, or parking of vehicles at all times on the east side of Driftwood Drive (Road No. 5094A), beginning at the prolongation of the south curb line of Driftwood Circle South (Private) and extending southerly a distance of 50 feet; thence on the west side of Driftwood Drive (Road No. 5094A), beginning at the prolongation of the north curb line of Driftwood Circle South (Private) and extending southerly a distance of 60 feet, as recommended by the Public Works Director, Bay Point area. (District V)

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

The Traffic Section of the Public Works Department received multiple complaints from residents about limited sightlines for motorists entering Driftwood Drive (Road No. 5094A) from Driftwood Circle South. The Traffic Section conducted an investigation in October of 2019, which included measuring sightlines and checking collision history. Parked vehicles just south of the intersection (east side of Driftwood Drive) were found to be limiting sight lines for both pedestrians using the crosswalk and vehicles egressing from Driftwood Circle South. Similarly, parked vehicles in close vicinity to the crosswalk on the west side of Driftwood Drive also limit sight lines. Therefore, it is recommended that parking of vehicles be prohibited on both sides of Driftwood Drive (Road No. 5094A) in the vicinity of the crosswalk at Driftwood Circle (South).

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Parking will remain unrestricted.
