A no -stopping zone along the east side of Avenue Tibbitts south of Avenue Scott. A no -stopping zone along the south side of Newhall Ranch Road between Avenue Tibbitts and McBean Parkway. BACKGROUND Cedarcreek Street The Traffic and Transportation Planning Division received a request from Rio Vista Elementary School to provide an exclusive drop-off/pick-up area along the north side of Cedarcreek Street for their kindergarten students valet program. The school's kindergarten population (currently 150 students) has increased due to the implementation of a full-time kindergarten program. Currently, during arrival and dismissal times, vehicles are often parked along the curb on the approach to the kindergarten valet area. Vehicles waiting in line for the valet program are forced into the through traffic lane, causing double parking and conflicts with traffic in the opposite direction. Staff consulted with the Sheriff s Department and reviewed field conditions to determine that establishing a no -parking zone between Bonlee Avenue and a point 305 feet to the west would sem. 10--qy dopa n — enhance traffic circulation and improve safety for the kindergarten valet (Exhibit "B"). The proposed no -parking zone will have minimal impact to the neighborhood since the restrictions would only be in effect during school hours. ' Avenue Tibbitts Staff received a request from an area resident to review parking on Avenue Tibbitts south of Avenue Scott. The requestor was concerned that vehicles parked at the curb encroach on the northbound travel lanes and restrict safe passage for other vehicles. Staff conducted a review of the area and found that the width of the existing outside northbound lane is insufficient to accommodate on -street parking. While portions of the curb are currently painted red, other portions still allow for on -street parking. The establishment of a no -stopping zone along the east curb of Avenue Tibbitts between Avenue Scott and a point 230 feet south (Exhibit "C") will prevent vehicles form parking in that area which may impede northbound traffic. Signage will be posted for the proposed no -stopping zone and the existing red curbs will be removed. The adjacent property owners have been contacted and are in agreement with this proposal. Newhall Ranch Road Parking is prohibited on all portions of the Cross Valley Connector (Newhall Ranch Road and Golden Valley Road) between Interstate 5 and State Highway 14, except for a small area along the south side of Newhall Ranch Road between Avenue Tibbitts and a point 750 feet west of McBean Parkway (Exhibit "D"). Establishment of an additional 1,825 feet of no -stopping zone will complete the parking removal for the length of this major arterial and improve safety and aesthetics for the area. It is common to see large trucks parked or stored in this area. Staff has received comments that the trucks are unsightly and create a safety issue as they enter and leave the area. In addition to trucks, families will often park their vehicles along the south side of Newhall Ranch Road east of the river, and run across the road to attend sporting events at Heritage Park. Adequate safe parking is available in the Heritage Park parking lots and on surrounding streets to the north of the park. The Parks Division has been consulted regarding this activity, and the proposal will enhance safety for park patrons. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS Other action as determined by the City Council. FISCAL IMPACT The work involves the installation of approximately 18 signs and removal of approximately 75 feet of red curb at a cost of approximately $2,200. Adequate funds are available in the Street Maintenance Striping Account 14504-5111.010. 2 ATTACHMENTS Resolution - Cedarcreek Street Resolution - Avenue Tibbitts Resolution - Newhall Ranch Road Exhibit "A" - Location Map Exhibit "B" - Cedarcreek Street - Proposed No -Parking Zone Diagram Exhibit "C" - Avenue Tibbitts - Proposed No -Stopping Zone Diagram Exhibit "D" - Newhall Ranch Road - Proposed No -Stopping Zone Diagram %I RESOLUTION 10- A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA, CALIFORNIA, TO ESTABLISH A NO -PARKING ZONE ALONG THE NORTH SIDE OF CEDARCREEK STREET ADJACENT TO RIO VISTA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WHEREAS, Section 22507 of the Vehicle Code of the State of California provides for local authorities to prohibit stopping, standing, or parking of vehicles on certain streets or highways or portion thereof during certain or all hours of the day; and WHEREAS, it is consistent with normal traffic engineering practices to establish no -parking zones near schools.
