RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Traffic Resolution No. 2017/4458 to prohibit stopping, standing, or parking at all times on a portion of North Jade Street (Road No. 0565S), beginning at the intersection of West Grove Avenue (Road No. 0565J) and extending northerly a distance of 500 feet, as recommended by the Public Works Director, North Richmond Area.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Vehicles will continue to park, stand, and stop on the roadway, leaving the Sheriff's Office unable to enforce the restrictions and disperse gatherings.

BACKGROUND:

Upon request by the Board of Supervisors District I staff, and in consultation with the Sheriff's Office and Housing Authority, Public Works is establishing restrictions to vehicles parking and stopping on portions of North Jade Street 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 in and around North Jade Street. These restriction will help local law enforcement limit these gatherings.
