CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT FOR THE COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 15, 2003 Item #16 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: AMER JAHKER, P.E., CITY ENGINEER SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION AMENDING RESOLUTION #2119 ADDITIONAL NO PARKING AREAS ALONG CERTAIN PORTIONS OF WASHINGTON STREET DATE: April 2, 2003 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 of the City of Colton with parking restrictions. Vehicles parked along the north curb line of Washington Street obstruct visibility of motorist exiting the driveways of the apartment complexes between Meadow Lane and Cooley Drive. ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION: The attached resolution amends Resolution # 2119, to include a parking prohibition along portions of the north side of Washington Street, near the driveways that serve the apartment complexes. This restriction will allow a greater site distance and create a safer movement from the driveways. This action will reduce the number of off-site parking spaces from 43 to 30. The apartment complexes provide on-site parking. FINANCIAL IMPACT: This action will require the installation red paint along the curb. The Public Services Department will perform this installation with no additional funding. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: None. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Council approve the attached resolution, authorizing the restriction of parking along portions of north side of Washington Street as defined in the attached resolution.
