RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Traffic Resolution No. 2017/4453 to prohibit parking at all times, except for those vehicles of individuals with disabilities (blue curb), on a portion of Garretson Avenue (Road No. 1795T), as recommended by the Public Works Director, Rodeo area.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

Upon request from a resident for a disabled persons parking space in front of their home, Traffic Engineering Staff responded with an assessment of the requesting persons residence. It was determined that the request for restricting a parking space for persons with disabilities could be provided considering several factors. Although a usable driveway is present, entering the vehicle from the elevated curb/sidewalk in front of the disabled persons residence would allow a safer transition into the passenger seat of her non-accessible vehicle.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Parking will remain unrestricted at this location on Garretson Avenue.
