FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
The Transportation Engineering Division was forwarded a request by the Crossing Guard for Rancho Romero Elementary School, to modify the existing restricted timed parking that was previously approved by the Board of Supervisors on June 20, 2000, and March 31, 2009. Since approved, the nearby Elementary School has adjusted its release times on certain days, which do not align with the parking restrictions. The resulting window of allowed parking on “minimum days” make it difficult for the ingress and egress of vehicles on Hemme Avenue, due to the narrow width of the roadway.
The Transportation Engineering Division therefore recommends adopting this resolution, allowing updated restricted parking signs indicating “No Parking” between the hours of 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. (on school days) to be posted.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Existing timed parking restrictions (8:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., and 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. school days only and 7:00 a.m. to 12 p.m., and 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. school days) will remain.
