No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County Fire Protection District Captain Nicholas Sinosky contacted the Public Works Department’s Transportation Engineering Division to request parking be prohibited at a location along the Martinez Avenue frontage of District Fire Station #12, located at 1240 Shell Avenue in Pacheco. Traffic Engineering staff responded by conducting a site visit with Captain Sinosky to assess the ingress and egress clear space requirements for their fire truck(s) and equipment. District Captain Sinosky subsequently submitted a letter to the Public Works Department formally requesting a “Red Zone” for a segment of Shell Avenue (Traffic Resolution 2021/4507) fronting the fire station and Martinez Avenue on the side of the fire station, for unobstructed egress and ingress of official fire district vehicles. A copy of the District letter is attached.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Parking will remain unrestricted at this location.
