Nislc , 10 March 22, 1994 BOUQUET CANYON ROAD FROM 227 FEET SOUTH OF SOLEDAD CANYON ROAD TO CINEMA DRIVE - PROPOSED NO STOPPING ZONE Resolution No. 94-42 Community Development The Traffic Engineering section received a request from a citizen on November 11, 1993 to establish a no -stopping zone on the east side of Bouquet Canyon Road south of Soledad Canyon Road. The request was due to a safety concern that resulted when vehicles park along the east side of Bouquet Canyon Road and block the line of vision of motorists exiting the Cross Road Center. The review and inspection of Bouquet Canyon Road showed that there is a horizontal curvature on the roadway and the critical approach speed (85th percentile) is about 52 miles per hour. The accident history at this location showed that there were several accidents in 1993 that were attributed to limited or obstructed sight visibility. Staff observed that the sight visibility of motorists, when exiting driveways of the Cross Road Center, are blocked whenever vehicles are parked at the subject location. To determine the Impact of the no -stopping zone to the Cross Road Center, a parking study was conducted during the week of February 28 through March 4, 1994. The result of the study showed that there were adequate parking spaces In the parking lot that could accommodate the few vehicles using Bouquet Canyon Road on -street parking. The survey showed that a maximum of five cars were parked on the street, while at the same time, more than 20 spaces were available in the parking lot. The property management and the tenants of the center were contacted and notified regarding the proposed extension of the no -stopping zone (see attached letter). While the property manager and a couple of tenants were not in favor of this parking prohibition, a majority of the tenants did support the proposal. To provide adequate sight visibility when exiting the Cross Road Center driveways, staff recommends the extension of the existing no -stopping zone. The additional no -stopping zone is necessary and would provide adequate sight visibility and would reduce the potential vehicle conflict at this location. 711F ' '• \ 01 - W W, AGENDA - PROPOSED NO -STOPPING ZONE March 22, 1994 Page 2 RECOMMENDATION That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 94-42, establishing a no -stopping zone along the east side of Bouquet Canyon Road from 227 feet south of Soledad Canyon Road to Cinema Drive.

Bane Property Director GVD Investments 1160 South Harbor Boulevard Fullerton, California 92632 SUBJECT: Proposed No Stopping Zone on Bouquet Canyon Road South of Soledad Canyon Road. Dear Ms. Bane: Due to the January 17, 1994 earthquake, the report regarding the above referenced subject was not submitted to the City Council on January 25, 1994 as previously planned. As you recall, we had Informed you that due to the existing curve in the area, the sight visibility for the motorlsts,exRing the driveways Is severely limited when cars are parked on the street. A recent accident at one of these driveways was attributable to this limited sight distance. The proposed parking prohibition is necessary to Improve the traffic safety In the area. This is to Inform you that the Traffic Engineering section will present the proposed no stopping zone at a regular City Council meeting on March 22, 1994 for Its review and approval. The meeting will start at 6:30 p.m. and will be held at the William H. Hart School District Building, District Board Room, 21515 Redview Drive, Santa Clarlta, California 91350. Based on our parking study, staff recommends the establishment of a no stopping zone on the east side of Bouquet Canyon Road between Soledad Canyon Road and Cinema Drive. Also, the study showed that there are sufficient parking spaces in the parking lot to accommodate the lost on -street parking spaces. Attached is a copy of the tabulated data collected during the week of February 28 and March 4, 1994, for your information. PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER Ms. Nancy K.
