BACKGROUND:
Public Works Transportation Engineering staff met with Supervisor Gioia’s staff and representatives from West County Mandarin School to review traffic safety and vehicle circulation during student drop-off and pick-up times. Based on current conditions, staff determined that the previously implemented prohibited-parking restriction is no longer necessary, and that timed parking during school hours would provide more effective parking management and improve overall traffic flow.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Unable to use the local authorities’ power to enforce the California Vehicle Code.
