Granger, Principal of Old Orchard Elementary School, to establish a passenger loading and unloading zone (drop-off and pick-up area) in front of the school. RECOMMENDATION An evaluation of this request has been completed. Based on the results of the evaluation, the following is recommended: Establish a 130 -toot "No Parking 7 a.m: to 3 p.m. - School Days Only" zone on the south side of Avenida Rondel, 120 feet west of Avenida Rotella (see Exhibit "B"). CONDITIONS Old Orchard Elementary School is located on the south side of Avenida Rondel west of Avenida Rotella. Avenida Rondel is a two-lane east -west residential street. The roadway Is 36 feet wide with curb and sidewalk on each side. A no -stopping zone (school bus loading zone) exists in front of the school, on the south side of Avenida Rondel and west of Avenida Rotella. On -street parking is permitted on both sides of Avenida Rondel, and the prima facie speed limit Is 25 miles per hour. DISCUSSION The proposed passenger loading and unloading zone (No -Parking zone) Is adjacent to school grounds and Is located on the south side of Avenida Rondel between the existing "No -Stopping" zone and Avenida Rotella: The zone is 130 feet long and is currently used by parents to drop-off and pick-up their children. The same area Is frequently used by school employees and sometimes occupied by parked vehicles. The present situation creates congestion in the parking area, as each parent's vehicle needs to maneuver between parked vehicles. The school has suggested that priority at this available curb space In front of the school should be given to the parents to drop-off and pick-up their children. A reserved zone for,thls purpose would be appropriate: It Is believed that this proposed passenger loading and unloading zone would minimize the competition between parents and other users for the curb parking space and reduce congestion In the parking area. There are many curb parking spaces available on Avenida Rondel within walking distance from the proposed zone for school employees and others to park their vehicles. MEMORANDUM Old Orchard School - Passenger Loading Zone August, 6,1993 Page 2 In addition, the proposed zone is needed during school hours and the area is mostly used by school -generated vehicles during the school hours. It Is believed that the proposed passenger loading and unloading zone would not significantly Impact other users of the area. Attachments BJ:AY:dis tr fficb'iwckay .� � . PEPRr Dwotl $ oqL Dw • ...
