RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Traffic Resolution No. 2017/4462 to prohibit parking at all times of vehicles six feet or more in height (including any load thereon), or 20 feet or more in length, on Pacheco Boulevard (Road No. 3951C), beginning from its intersection with Arthur Road (Road No. 3681), and extending southeasterly for a distance of 3,432 feet (0.65 miles), or to the City limit, as recommended by the Interim Public Works Director, Martinez area. (District V)

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

The Traffic Engineering section received a request from the Public Works Maintenance Division to prohibit tractor trailers and trucks from parking on the wide dirt shoulders along portions of Pacheco Boulevard. Truck and trailer parking along this minor arterial has caused shoulder damage and requires ongoing maintenance. In addition, several residents complained about truck and RV parking along adjacent sections of Pacheco Boulevard with improved shoulders. Although there does not appear to be any safety or maintenance concerns associated with the large vehicle parking along this portion of Pacheco Boulevard, which is mostly residential, they are seen as a constant nuisance, a source of dumping, and an undesirable feature for a residential community. This action will support law enforcement in their efforts to enforce these restrictions.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Parking of large tractor trailers, trucks, and RVs will continue to be permitted on this roadway.
