Item to be presented
SUBJECT: RYE CANYON ROAD - ESTABLISHING A NO -STOPPING ZONE
FROM NEWHALL RANCH ROAD TO SOUTH OF AVENUE SCOTT
DEPARTMENT: Transportation & Engineering Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a resolution establishing a no -stopping zone along the west side of
Rye Canyon Road, between Newhall Ranch Road and 700 feet south of Avenue Scott, and
along the east side of Rye Canyon Road, between Newhall Ranch Road and 300 feet south of
Avenue Scott.
BACKGROUND
In an effort to improve traffic circulation through the Valencia Industrial Center, the
Newhall Land & Farming Company will be signalizing the intersection of Rye Canyon Road
and Avenue Scott. In order to maximize the efficiency of the intersection and minimize the
impacts of traffic congestion, the signal design will allow for six lanes through the
intersection: three lanes in each direction. This design will accommodate immediate and
future traffic volumes.
In order to accomplish this design, curbside parking along the east and west sides of
Rye Canyon Road will need to be prohibited between Newhall Ranch Road and Avenue
Scott. Also, curbside parking on Rye Canyon Road, approximately 700 feet south of Avenue
Scott along the west side, and 300 feet south of Avenue Scott along the east side, will be
prohibited (see Exhibit "A"). All parking will be required to be on-site or further south
where no curbside parking restriction exists.
The start date for construction has not been set, but construction is estimated to begin in
early fall 2001. On November 7, 2000, a letter was sent to all business owners along Rye
Canyon Road that would be affected by this on -street parking prohibition. The City has not
received any opposition from these businesses. A copy of the letter is included as
Exhibit "B."

Company.

Subject: On -Street Parking Prohibition Along Rye Canyon Road Near Newhall
Ranch Road and Avenue Scott
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Williams:
The purpose of this letter is to notify your business, as well as others impacted, about
the proposed traffic signal installation at the intersection of Rye Canyon Road and
Avenue Scott.
In an effort to improve traffic circulation through the Valencia Industrial Center, we
are planning to signalize the intersection of Rye Canyon Road and Avenue Scott. In
order to maximize the efficiency of the intersection and minimize impacts of traffic
congestion, the signal design will allow for six lanes through the intersection; three
lanes in each direction. This design will accommodate immediate and future traffic
volumes.
In order to accomplish this design, curbside parking along the east and west sides of
Rye Canyon Road will need to be prohibited between Newhall Ranch Road and
Avenue Scott. Also, curbside parking on Rye Canyon Road, approximately seven
hundred feet south of Avenue Scott along the west side and three hundred feet south
of Avenue Scott along the east side, will be prohibited (see enclosed drawing). All
parking will be required to be on-site or further south where there is no curbside
parking restriction.
We estimate construction to begin at this intersection in the beginning of
summer 2001, and signs will be posted during that time. We apologize for any
inconvenience this might pose. However, we believe that you will appreciate the
immediate benefits of traffic congestion relief throughout the Valencia Industrial
Center.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at (661) 286-4057.
Sincerely
RabieJ. Rahmani
Senior Traffic Engineer
