Subject: Establishment of No Parking Zone on Canada Road in the Unincorporated Area of Belmont
RECOMMENDATION:
title
Adopt a resolution authorizing the establishment of a “No Parking” zone on Canada Road in the Unincorporated Area of Belmont.
body
BACKGROUND:
Your Board has adopted similar resolutions designating parking restrictions.
Section 22507 et seq. of the California Vehicle Code and Section 7.30.010 of the San Mateo County Ordinance Code provide that local authorities may prohibit or restrict the stopping, parking, or standing of vehicles by resolution or ordinance.
The Department of Public Works (Department) received a request from the County of San Mateo Parks Department for a parking restriction on Canada Road in the unincorporated area of Belmont to increase the sight distance for cyclists and motorists in the area surrounding the Ralston Bike Trail.
DISCUSSION:
The Department has evaluated the request from the Parks Department and determined the increased sight distance will provide a benefit to cyclists and motorists in this area.
Property owners on adjacent blocks, extending a minimum of 300 feet from the proposed parking zone locations, were notified of the date and time of your Board’s meeting when these items will be considered. While no comments were received from the survey, key facts are summarized in Attachment “A”.
The location of parking zones and other traffic restrictions on County-maintained streets are currently shown on maps in the Department of Public Works office and will be made available in list form on maps on the Department’s website. The master list will be updated to reflect the recommended changes, if your Board approves the proposed resolution.
County Counsel has reviewed and approved the resolution as to form.
Approval of this action contributes to the Shared Vision 2025 outcome of a Livable Community by allowing residents, business owners, and schools to help shape the neighborhood traffic controls in a way that best fits their collective needs.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost of installing signs and painting parking zone markings varies and is estimated at $1,000 for this action. Costs are included in the Road Funds’ FY 2018-19 Adopted Budget. There is no impact to the General Fund.
