Adopt a resolution authorizing the establishment of a “Time Limited No Parking During Specified Hours, 10:00 P.M. through 7:00 A.M., Every Day” zone on Cañada Road in unincorporated Redwood City.
body
BACKGROUND:
This Board has adopted similar resolutions designating parking restrictions.
Section 22507 et al. of the California Vehicle Code and Section 7.32.010 of the San Mateo County Code of Ordinances provides that local authorities may prohibit or restrict the stopping, parking or standing of vehicles during specified hours by resolution or ordinance.
The Department of Public Works (Department) received a request from the Department’s Roads Services Maintenance staff to address illegal dumping at this location.
DISCUSSION:
The Department evaluated the request, surveyed property owners, and determined that the proposed parking restriction along Cañada Road would benefit the community, address the persistent refuse issue, and would be consistent with the existing parking restrictions already in place.
Property owners on adjacent blocks, extending a minimum of 300 feet from the proposed parking zone location, were notified of the date and time of this Board’s meeting when this item will be considered. Comments received to date are in favor of this change and 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 list will be updated to reflect the changes.
County Counsel has reviewed and approved the resolution as to form.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost of installing signs and painting parking zone markings varies but averages approximately $550 per parking zone. Costs are included in the FY 2020-21 Adopted Budget. There is no impact to the General Fund.
