RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Traffic Resolution No. 2020/4496 to prohibit stopping, standing, or parking at all times on the south side of Boulevard Way (Road No. 3851D), beginning at a point 38 feet east of the center line of Palana Court (Road No. 3845AP) and extending easterly a distance of 50 feet, as recommended by the Public Works Director, Walnut Creek area. (District II)

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.














BACKGROUND:

A resident contacted the Transportation Engineering Division stating that vehicles parked at the intersection of Palana Court and Boulevard Way blocked sight lines, making exiting the roadway difficult, particularly during high traffic periods. Traffic Engineering staff responded by researching collision history and conducting a site visit soon afterwards. Although reported collisions did not present themselves recently, several factors unique to this intersection supported a limited parking prohibition. Palana Court intersects Boulevard Way at an offset and skewed angle, making it difficult to see vehicles traveling on Boulevard Way. Boulevard Way is a four-lane roadway through this portion of the unincorporated County. This results in Palana Court exiting motorists seeking to travel westbound on Boulevard Way negotiating crossing two lanes of eastbound traffic. Therefore, prohibiting parking for a small segment of the southeast portion of the intersection will improve sight lines and stopping distance for all road users at this location.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Parking will remain unrestricted at this location.
