Item #4 CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT FOR THE COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 5, 2002 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: AMER JAKHER, P.E., CITY ENGINEER 4 ) SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION AMENDING RESOLUTION #2119 NO PARKING AREAS ALONG CERTAIN PORTIONS OF MT. VERNON AVENUE DATE: OCTOBER 23, 2002 Mt. Vernon Avenue has recently been improved with the installation of the center medians on various portions of the street from Fairway Drive to La Cadena Drive. The roadway improvements provide 12 -foot medians, 26 -foot wide travel lanes northbound and southbound. Engineering Department is proposing two 11 -foot lanes, which leaves 4 -foot of roadway in each direction. This is not adequate for parking, since minimum width required is 8 -feet. ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION: 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 both sides of Mt. Vernon Avenue, from Fairway Drive to La Cadena Drive. Since there will be a 4 -feet wide portion of roadway remaining in each direction, Engineering Department is proposing that a 4 -feet bike lane be provided from Fairway Drive to La Cadena Drive. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Estimate that this action will require the installation of approximately 102 signs. With the approval of this Resolution, the amount will be $ 4,207.17. Funds to cover the Resolution are in Account # 882-9250-9252-3890. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: The proposed public improvements are exempt under section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
