CITY MANAGER APPROVAL: U41 ,
DATE: July 10, 2018
SUBJECT: ESTABLISH A 350 -FOOT NO -PARKING ZONE ON SCHOOL DAYS
ONLY ALONG THE NORTH SIDE OF BRIDGEPORT LANE
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
PRESENTER: Gus Pivetti
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a resolution establishing 350 feet of no parking between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30
p.m. on school days only along the north side of Bridgeport Lane between 700 feet west of
Bayside Lane and 650 feet east of Parkwood Lane.
BACKGROUND
Bridgeport Elementary School has a population of over 800 students that attend their campus and
has over 150 motorists that utilize the school's valet drop-off and pick-up program. Currently,
the valet program at Bridgeport Elementary School consists of motorists utilizing the right -turn
pocket along Newhall Ranch Road to make a right turn onto Grandview Drive to access the
drop-off and pick-up area at the front of the school. The valet program currently interrupts the
flow of traffic along Newhall Ranch Road due to the spillage of the valet line onto the eastbound
through lane.
The Bridgeport Elementary School administration requested that the City of Santa Clarita (City)
assist the school with providing a solution to alleviate the current driving conditions the valet
program is causing along Newhall Ranch Road. After conducting traffic studies during the past
academic year, the school proposes to establish a second valet along Bridgeport Lane at the back
of the school campus, where there is an existing valet turn out 700 feet west of Bayside Lane.
This will allow for a reduction in congestion and safety concerns during drop-off and pick-up
times.
Currently, Bridgeport Lane does not allow stopping on the south side of the roadway and allows
parking on the north side of the roadway in front of Bridgeport Park. The City proposes to
establish 350 feet of no parking between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on school days only along the
north side of Bridgeport Lane between 700 feet west of Bayside Lane and 650 feet east of

Parkwood Lane. This will allow parents to queue along the curb while waiting to access the new
valet area and will keep the travel lane open for through motorists.
The proposed additional valet zone will alleviate vehicle queueing along Newhall Ranch Road at
the front of the school during student drop-off and pick-up times. The valet will evenly distribute
the amount of students being dropped off and picked up at the front and back of the school,
maintaining the flow of traffic along Newhall Ranch Road and preventing motorists from
queueing into the eastbound through lane.
The City has contacted the Bridgeport Community Home Owners Association, as well as the
Parks division of Neighborhood Services and both parties are supportive of the project.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Adequate funds are available in Street Maintenance expenditure account 14504-5141.008 for the
implementation of the recommended action.
