RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Traffic Resolution No. 2016/4441 to prohibit parking at all times on a portion of Lunada Lane (Road No. 4237H), from a point 590 feet west of the west curbline of Danville Boulevard (Road No. 5301A) at its intersection with Stone Valley Road West (Road No. 4237H), and continuing westerly and northerly for a distance of 270 feet, Alamo area.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

Lunada Lane begins as the continuation of Stone Valley Road West at its intersection with the Iron Horse Trail. The roadways alignment immediately enters a horizontal curve featuring a directional change (90 degree) going westbound to northbound. Residents in the area have complained that trail users often park on the north side of Lunada Lane around this curve forcing pedestrians into the traveled portion of the roadway on a blind curve. Due to the curvature of the roadway, motorists would have difficulty seeing pedestrians in the travel lane ahead of them. There is no sidewalk on either side of this portion of Lunada Lane. Based on these factors, we recommend prohibiting parking around this curve to improve sight lines near the Iron Horse Trail.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Vehicles may continue to be parked on the north side of the curving roadway, resulting in pedestrians entering the traveled way and inhibited sight lines near the trail.
