RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Traffic Resolution No. 2023/4530 to prohibit stopping, standing, or parking at all times on the east side of Arthur Road (Road No. 3684), beginning at the north curb line prolongation of Palms Drive (Private) and extending northerly a distance of 1600 feet, as recommended by the Public Works Director, Martinez area. (District V)

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

A resident contacted the Public Works’ Transportation Engineering Division stating that the 'No Parking' signs and posts were missing on a portion of Arthur Road that were previously there for many years.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Traffic Engineering staff responded by conducting a site visit, which confirmed there was evidence of 'No Parking' intermittently, but most of the signs and posts were missing. Staff also checked records for any evidence of a Traffic Resolution(s) that would support the prohibited parking along the east side of Arthur Road. However, nothing was found. Installation of prohibited parking signs may have been placed as a part of the master plan of the community many years ago.

Transportation Engineering staff therefore recommends that prohibited parking signs be re-installed along this section of Arthur Road. This action would be justified due to the narrow lane width and vertical curb face along the east side of the road. Vehicles parked on the eastern side would impede traffic and force through vehicles traveling north to cross the double yellow lines into oncoming traffic.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Parking will remain unrestricted at this location.
