SUBJECT: LEFT -TURN RESTRICTION FROM PARKLANE MOBILE ESTATES
ONTO SOLEDAD CANYON ROAD
DEPARTMENT: Transportation and Engineering Services
;_DIORIM WT DI/ / •�
City Council direct staff to prohibit left -turns out of the westerly and easterly driveways of the
Parklane Mobile Estates (20401 Soledad Canyon Road), and install the necessary signs and
markings to prohibit those movements.
The Traffic Engineering Division was requested to investigate the potential prohibition of left -
turns coming out of Parklane Mobile Estates onto Soledad Canyon Road (see Exhibit "A,"
Vicinity Map). This request was initiated as the result of recent litigation against the City of
Santa Clarita for an accident which occurred at the eastern driveway to the site. Staffs
investigation and field review indicate that presently the Estate has three full accesses along
its frontage with Soledad Canyon Road, of which two are uncontrolled and one controlled with
the existing traffic signal at Rainbow Glen Drive. By prohibiting the left -turn access coming out
of the uncontrolled driveways of Parklane Mobile Estates (one east and one west of the
signalized access), those who wish to go east on Soledad Canyon Road can easily exit off the
main access across Rainbow Glen Drive, which is controlled by a traffic signal. The attached
Exhibit "B" shows the proposed restricted left -turns. This is the preferred movement and
recommended by City staff.
Mrs. Brenda Beres, Parklane Mobile Estates Office Manager, was informed of this issue and was
also requested to share the above information with all residents. Staff has not received any
objection regarding this prohibition.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
1. Leave existing situation as is.
2. Other action as determined by Council.
