AGENDA REPORT
CONSENT CALENDAR City Manager Approval:
Item to be presented by:
DATE: January 9, 2001
SUBJECT: OAKMOOR STREET - ESTABLISHING A NO -PARKING ZONE FOR
LEONA COX ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
DEPARTMENT: Transportation & Engineering Services
City Council adopt a resolution establishing a no -parking zone for Leona Cox Elementary
School along Oakmoor Street (north side) between the first and second school driveways
(total distance of 225 feet), between 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m., school days only.
Leona Cox Elementary School, in coordination with the Los Angeles County Sheriffs
Department, implemented a Parking Lot Valet program on October 10, 2000. On
November 15, 2000, City staff was contacted by the Los Angeles County Sheriffs
Department School Patrol Unit, requesting that a no -parking zone be established adjacent
to the school.
Parents who drop off their children in the morning or pick them up in the afternoon
currently drive their vehicles through a designated drop-offlpick-up area in the school
parking lot. The no -parking zone will provide an area where vehicles can line up prior to
entering the school parking lot.
City staff observed the afternoon traffic conditions along Oakmoor Street in front of the
school. Staffs evaluation indicated that a no -parking zone would help to facilitate the
proposed Parking Lot Valet program. There will be minimal impact to on -street parking,
since the no -parking zone will only be in effect between 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m., school days
only.
On December 4, 2000, City staff received a letter (Exhibit W) from Leona Cox Elementary
School confirming the request. As stated in the letter, the school is making the request,
and they are in full agreement with the proposed no -parking zone.
