Item to be presented
SUBJECT: WILEY CANYON ROAD - ESTABLISHING A NO -PARKING ZONE, A
NO -STOPPING ZONE, AND A BUS ONLY ZONE FOR WILEY
CANYON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
DEPARTMENT: Transportation & Engineering Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a resolution establishing a no -parking zone (175 feet), a no -stopping
zone (135 feet), and a bus only zone (150 feet) for Wiley Canyon Elementary School along
Wiley Canyon Road. The posted hours for the no -parking and no -stopping zones would be
between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m., school days only.
The posted hours for the bus only zone would be between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., school
days only.
Wiley Canyon Elementary School, in coordination with the Los Angeles County Sheriffs
Department, implemented a Parking Lot Valet program on November 3, 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 and a no -stopping 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 morning and afternoon traffic conditions along Wiley Canyon Road
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 and no -stopping zone will only be in effect
between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m., school days only.

The school will also be moving the current school bus stop location from the north side of
the campus to the south side of the campus, along Wiley Canyon Road. In order to
accommodate this change, the school is requesting that a bus only zone be established
between the southern school driveway and the school property line. The bus only zone will
be in effect between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., school days only.
On November 28, 2000, City staff received a letter (Exhibit "A") from Wiley Canyon
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, no -stopping, and bus
only zones.
