LYONS AVENUE - ESTABLISH NO -PARKING
ZONE/NO-STOPPING ZONE ALONG THE NORTH CURB LINE
EXTENDING BETWEEN AVENIDA ROTELLA AND WILEY
CANYON ROAD
Public Works
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a resolution establishing a "no -parking between the hours of 12:00 a.m. and
4:00 a.m." zone along the north curb of Lyons Avenue from Avenida Rotella to 200 feet west of
Old Orchard Park, and a "no -stopping any time" zone along the north curb of Lyons Avenue from
200 feet west of Old Orchard Park to Wiley Canyon Road.
BACKGROUND
Staff received complaints from Old Orchard area residents concerning overnight parking of
semi -trucks and large vehicles in two areas: along the north side of Lyons Avenue adjacent to
Old Orchard Park, and the back side of the residential housing west of the park. Residents have
notified staff that disruptive noise from the trucks occurs at all hours of the night (running
engines and refrigeration systems). They have also indicated concern that the trucks restrict
visibility into the park, the adjacent sidewalk, landscaping, and retaining walls, reducing public
safety and making it easier for vandals to damage adjacent property. The proposed "no -parking
between the hours of 12:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m." will prevent trucks from parking in the area
overnight, while still providing on -street parking for day use.
Lyons Avenue is striped for three westbound lanes from just east of Wiley Canyon Road to the
City limits at Interstate 5. The capacity of Lyons Avenue could be enhanced by extending this
third lane easterly to Old Orchard Park. The third lane would help reduce traffic delays at the
signalized intersections and improve the overall flow for westbound traffic through this area. The
Adopted;�eso (3
proposed "no -stopping any time" zone along the north curb of Lyons Avenue from 200 feet west
of Old Orchard Park to Wiley Canyon Road is necessary to provide room for the third westbound
travel lane.
There are no residences or businesses fronting Lyons Avenue between Old Orchard Park and
Wiley Canyon Road, which would be affected by the proposed "no -stopping any time" zone.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
1. Keep existing situation as is.
2. Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
The work involves the installation of approximately 15-20 signs, amounting to approximately
$1,500.00 to $2,000.00. Funds for this work are available in the Streets Striping and Signing
Maintenance Account No. 4814-7335.
