<br />CITY OF COLTON
<br />AGENDA REPORT
<br />FOR THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 15, 2005
<br />TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
<br />FROM: AMER JAKHER, P.E., CITY ENGINEER
<br />SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION RESTRICTING PARKING DURING HOURS OF
<br />STREET SWEEPING OPERATIONS ON CERTAIN STREETS (EAST AND
<br />WEST OF RANCHO AVE TO THE RAILROAD TRACKS AND SOUTH TO
<br />THE I-10).
<br />DATE: MARCH 7.2005
<br />BACKGROUND:
<br />City Public Services Department has received various calls in the recent months, from the residents
<br />of the subdivision located at the east and west of Rancho Ave to the railroad tracks and south to the I-
<br />10, regarding standing water in the streets. Staff has determined that adequate street sweeping will
<br />substantially reduce the amount of debris build up in the gutters and lead to better flow of water.
<br />Therefore, staff is recommending that parking be restricted during hours of street sweeping
<br />operation in order to allow the sweeper to adequately clean the streets. The affected streets are 2nd
<br />Street, 3`d Street, 4th Street, 6`h Street, 8th Street, Acacia Street, Alston Ave, Balbimie Ave, Bryn
<br />Mawr Court, C Street, Canary Street, Casey Court, Cherry Street, Citrus Street, D Street, E Street,
<br />Edgehill Drive, Ellen Street, Esperanza Street, F Street, Fur Street, G Street, Grand Ave, Gary
<br />Street, H Street, Hanna Street, Herberts Lane, Hunter Road, J Street, Jeryl Ave, Evelyn Circle,
<br />Johnston Street, Julie Street, Latham Street, Laurel Street, Long Beach Drive, Louise Street, Macy
<br />Ave, Martin Ave, Maryland Ave, Michigan Ave, Mill Street, Norman Road, Oak Street, Ohio Ave,
<br />Olive Street, Orange Ave, Pennsylvania Ave, Penn way, Rancho Ave, Rose Street, Serrano Court,
<br />Serrano Drive, Stevenson Street, Stevenson Ave, Tejon Ave, Teresa Street, Terrace Ave, Valencia
<br />Drive, Valley Blvd, WB E street W/O Tracks, WB Olive to W/O Tracks, Walters Street,
<br />Watwood Ave.
<br />ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION:
<br />The street sweeper currently has to maneuver around parked vehicles leaving large sections of the
<br />street unaffected. This action will cause the streets to be free of automobiles during street sweeping
<br />operations and provide for a cleaner neighborhood. The Street sweeper shall sweep streets listed
<br />above every I s` and 3`d Tuesday and Wednesday of the month. There will be no reduction in level of
<br />service provided to the residents associated with this change. The program is anticipated to begin by
<br />May, 17 2005, which will give staff adequate time to install signs and notify the residents.
<br />The parking shall be restricted from 7:00 A.M. to 11:00 A.M. on every 1st and 3rd Tuesday, and
<br />Wednesday of the month except holidays.
