RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Traffic Resolution No. 2023/4528 to prohibit stopping, standing, or parking at all times on the south side of Stone Valley Road (Road No. 4331A), beginning at the center line of Glenwood Court (Road No. 4837E) and extending westerly a distance of 290 feet, as recommended by the Public Works Director, Alamo area. (District II)

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

District 2 Supervisor Andersen’s office contacted the Transportation Engineering Division reporting that a Glenwood Court resident was concerned with the visual obstruction created by Food Trucks parked in the gravel area shoulders on eastbound Stone Valley Road.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Town of Danville had recently restricted parking along their portions of Stone Valley Road immediately to the east, based on recommendations of the Administration of Monte Vista High School and others complaining about the food trucks parked in their sections of roadway.

County Traffic Engineering staff responded by conducting site visits and observed multiple vehicles parked on and/or obstructing the eastbound bicycle lane, while it appeared they sought to patronize up to three different food trucks parked in the gravel area on the south side of Stone Valley Road, just west of Glenwood Court. Therefore, the Transportation Engineering Division recommends that parking be prohibited at this location in an effort to improve traffic safety.

The California Vehicle Code Section 21211 prohibits any vehicle from stopping/impeding the normal and reasonable movement on any bikeway. Parking prohibitions at this location should eliminate the obstructions in the bikeway and will assist local law enforcement in enforcing any parking violations that may occur.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Parking will remain unrestricted at this location.
