Item #18 CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT FOR THE COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 3, 2002 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 BORDWELL AVENUE AND VALLEY BLVD. DATE: ` AUGUST 27,2002 BACKGROUND: A.) Bordwell Avenue has recently been improved to provide access for a swap meet facility constructed in the City of San Bernardino. The roadway improvements provide a 12 foot wide travel lane southbound. This width does not allow for parking. B.) Trucks parked along Valley Blvd. create a sight distance restriction for motorist entering the roadway. ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION: A.) The State of California Vehicle Code allows parking restrictions if adopted by ordinance or resolution. Section 23 of the City of Colton Resolution # 2119 lists areas of the City of Colton with parking restrictions, the attached resolution amends Resolution # 2119 to include the west side of Bordwell Avenue From Johnston Street to the City Limits. B.) Restricting truck parking along both sides of Valley Blvd. west of Pepper Avenue to the City Limits will allow for a safer ingress into the roadway for motorists. FINANCIAL IMPACT: A.) There is no financial impact as the cost to install the required signage along Bordwell Avenue will be the responsibility of the developer of the new swap meet project. B.) Estimate that this action will require the installation of approximately 30 signs at an approximate cost of $150.00 per sign. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: None. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Council approve the attached resolutions, authorizing the restriction of commercial vehicle parking along both the north and south curb lines of Valley Blvd. between Pepper Avenue and the west City Limits and authorizing the restriction of parking along the west side of Bordwell Avenue between Johnston Street and the north City Limits.
