Item to be presented by: Rabie J. Rahma
SUBJECT: MAGIC MOUNTAIN PARKWAY (SR -126) - NO -STOPPING ZONE
RESOLUTION NO. 98-103
DEPARTMENT: Transportation & Engineering Services
"RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt Resolution No. 98-103, establishing a no -stopping zone along the north
side of Magic Mountain Parkway, between McBean Parkway and Valencia Boulevard..
BACKGROUND
As part of the required conditions on Terry York Motors, Incorporated, the applicant is
required to install no -stopping signs along their frontage with Magic Mountain Parkway.
The matter was discussed with Caltrans, since Magic Mountain Parkway is a state
highway and under their jurisdiction. Caltrans informed staff that prior to the installation
of the no -stopping signs, the City should prepare a resolution or an ordinance as noted
under Section 22506 of the California Vehicle Code. -This section provides for local
authorities to prohibit or restrict stopping, standing, or parking of vehicles on a state
highway, in their respective jurisdiction, if the ordinance or resolution is first submitted to
and approved in writing by the State of California Department of Transportation
(Caltrans).
The following justifications have been prepared for the proposed no -stopping zone:
1. There are several driveways along this portion. Staffs observation indicates that
parked vehicles. along this stretch would block the sight visibility of the westbound
traffic and cars exiting the driveways.
2. Parking along major arterials has proven to cause accidents due to cars maneuvering in
and out of the stalls and also their friction with through traffic. Drivers getting in and
out of cars would also be placed in front of high-speed traffic. For this purpose, the City
has already prohibited parking along most arterials such as McBean Parkway.
