ITEM #8 CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT FOR COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 1, 2009 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: MARITZA TAPIA, INTERIM PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR SUBJECT: ADOPT ATTACHED RESOLUTION, AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 2119 TO INCLUDE NO PARKING ALONG THE NORTH SIDE OF VALLEY BOULEVARD BETWEEN MT. VERNON AVENUE AND SPERRY DRIVE. DATE: NOVEMBER 19, 2009 BACKGROUND: The State of California Vehicle Code allows parking restrictions if adopted by a City ordinance or a resolution. Section 23 of the City of Colton Resolution # 2119 lists areas within the City of Colton with parking restrictions. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: Trucks and cars parked along Valley Boulevard create a sight distance restriction for motorists entering the roadway and are causing traffic congestion. The location was reviewed by the City of Colton Traffic Safety Committee on February 11, 2009, and a recommendation was made to install traffic control devices. The attached resolution amends Resolution # 2119 to include a parking prohibition along the north side of Valley Boulevard from Mt. Vernon Avenue to the Sperry Drive for commercial vehicles (vehicle weight over five tons). The parking restrictions will allow for a safer ingress into the roadway for motorists. Staff recommends approval of `commercial no parking' along the north side of Valley Boulevard from Mt. Vernon Avenue to Sperry Drive to improve a traffic condition that currently exists. FINANCIAL IMPACT: This action will require the installation of no parking signs. The approximate material cost for these installations is $1,000.00. Funds for these materials have been encumbered in the Streets Division account: 100-6150-6160-2301. Budget Year -to -Date Expenditures Open Encumbrances Available Funds $175,000 $30,860.26 $97,312.95 $46,826.79 7/10/03 City Clerk's Office Cb
