RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Traffic Resolution No. 2022/4522 to prohibit stopping, standing, or parking at all times on the south side of Loring Avenue (Road No. 2294D), beginning at point 71 feet east of the eastern curbline prolongation of West Street (Road No. 2295AH), and extending easterly a distance of 70 feet, as recommended by the Public Works Director, Crockett area. (District V)

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

The Crockett-Carquinez Fire Protection District's Captain John Angell contacted the Contra Costa County Public Works Transportation Engineering Staff to request prohibited parking across the street from Fire Station #78, located at 746 Loring Avenue in Crockett, to accommodate the larger turning radius of newly purchased fire equipment. Engineering staff responded by conducting a site visit with Captain John Angell to assess the ingress and egress clear space requirements for their newly-purchased ladder fire truck. It was determined by staff that parking for a segment of roadway on Loring Avenue should be prohibited to better accommodate the larger fire truck. District Fire Chief Dean Colombo also submitted a letter to the County Public Works Department requesting establishment of a “Fire Lane” for a segment of Loring Avenue on the opposite street side of the fire station to improve response time for the new ladder truck. The District letter is provided as an attachment to this Board Order.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Parked vehicles will remain at this location, limiting Fire District Ladder Truck egress, potentially affecting response times.
