RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Traffic Resolution No. 2016/4443 to prohibit parking at all times on Nichols Road, and RESCIND Traffic Resolution No. 2007/4230, as recommended by the Public Works Director, Bay Point area. (No fiscal impact)

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

Many commercial trucks and other vehicles from outside the area park, illegally dump, add nuisance, and are serviced on the unpaved shoulders within the public road right away. After the request to restrict parking by the Department of Conservation and Development’s Code Enforcement Division Staff, Bay Point Municipal Advisory Council members, the County's Sheriffs Office Deputies, Supervisor's Office Staff, and local truck companies, the Public Works Department Traffic Engineering Section recommends prohibiting parking at all times to eliminate parking on the roadway.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Vehicles will continue to park along the shoulder, dump loads and debris and cause a nuisance, leaving local authorities' power to enforce the California Vehicle Code limited.
