RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Traffic Resolution No. 2017/4459 to prohibit stopping, standing, or parking at all times on a portion of Silver Avenue (Road No. 0565K), beginning at the prolongation of the east curb line of Harold Street (Road No. 0565V) and extending westerly to its termination, a distance of 312 feet, as recommended by the Public Works Director, North Richmond area.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

Upon request by the Board of Supervisors District I staff, and in consultation with the Sheriff's Office and Housing Authority, restrictions to vehicles parking and stopping on the western portion of Silver Avenue is being requested in an effort to help address an urgent public safety issue. Due to low occupancy rates in the area, illegal street gatherings in the vicinity of these restrictions are common resulting in littering, sideshows, and other illicit activities on Silver Avenue’s westernmost terminus. These restrictions will help local law enforcement limit these gatherings.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Vehicles will continue to park, stand, and stop on this portion of roadway leaving the Sheriffs Office unable to enforce the restrictions and disperse gatherings.
