SUBJECT: PLUMWOOD AVENUE - CONVERSION OF SCHOOL BUS
ONLY LOADING/UNLOADING ZONE TO PASSENGER LOADING/
UNLOADING ZONE
DEPARTMENT: Transportation & Engineering Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt Resolution No. 98-54, authorizing the conversion of the existing school bus only
loading/unloading zone into passenger loading/unloading zone for Canyon Springs
Elementary School along Plumwood Avenue (west side) from 30 feet north to 243 feet north
of Vicci Street.
The implementation of California Vehicle Code Section 22454 (a), requiring all vehicles to
stop near a school bus dropping off or picking up students, has created traffic congestion on
Plumwood Avenue adjacent to Canyon Springs Elementary School. Mr. Jim Noonan,
Project and Facilities Manager of Sulphur Springs School District, has relocated the
existing school bus only loading/unloading zone along Plumwood Avenue to the driveway in
front of Canyon Springs Elementary School. He requested the Traffic Engineering Division
to convert the existing school bus only loadinglunloading zone to a regular passenger
loading/unloading zone.
Staffs evaluation indicated the proposed change would minimize traffic congestion and the
school would have additional drop-off and pick-up areas.. In addition, on -street parking will
not be affected.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
1. Keep existing situation as is.
2. Other action as determined by Council.
