Traffic and Parkinct Enforcement The California Vehicle Code and the Moorpark Municipal Code contain provisions pertaining to the enforcement of traffic and parking regulations in Class II Bike lanes. In order for those provisions to be effective and to be enforced, the Class II Bike Lanes in question must be designated by a Resolution of the City Council. B. Prior Action In 1993 the City Council adopted Resolution No. 93 -989 designating all of the streets which, at that time, had Class II Bike Lanes. C. Amendment Since 1993 there have been a number of changes to the list of streets with Class II Bike Lanes. It is necessary, therefore, to rescind Resolution No. 93 -989 and adopt a new Resolution with a revised list of Class II Bike Lanes. 000436 Class 2 Bike Lanes August 6, 1999 Page 2 D. Circulation Element Most of the Class II Bike Lanes in the City are consistent with the Bikeway plan set forth in the Circulation Element of the Moorpark General Plan (see Exhibit 1). However, some of the Class II Bike Lanes are not identified on the Bikeway plan. Attached as Exhibit 2 is a diagram showing the Class II Bike Lanes which are not shown on the Bikeway Plan. It is the intent of the Planning amendment to the Bikeway Plan to show Lanes identified in Exhibit 2. It is that amendment to the Planning Commis as a part of the next General Plan Circulation Element. E. Pending Projects staff to recommend an the added Class II Bike their intent to present ion and the City Council Amendment affecting the The attached draft Resolution designates certain streets as Class II Bike Lanes where the Markings and signs have not yet been installed, or fully installed. A list of those streets segments are as follows: • Casey Road (south side only): A portion of the Bike Lane lines have been installed on the south side of the street. The remainder of the bike lane lines, stenciling and signs are scheduled to be installed before the end of September. • Poindexter Avenue: The City is about to solicit bids for the construction of street widening and a sidewalk on the north side of Poindexter Avenue east of Gabbert Road. That project will include the placement of Class II Bike Lanes. • Gabbert Road: The Poindexter Avenue Sidewalk Project will also include the placement of Class II Bike Lanes on Gabbert Road between Poindexter Avenue and Los Angeles Avenue. • Spring Road (north of Peach Hill Road: The developer of the "backbone" improvements within the Carlsberg Specific Plan has recently completed the widening of Spring Road. The City is in the process of reconstructing the Spring Road bridge. Both of these project add Class II Bike Lanes to this street segment. • High Street: See Section F below. Bike—lanes-99 000'4037 Class 2 Bike Lanes August 6, 1999 Page 3 F. High Street The attached draft Resolution also designates High Street, east of Moorpark Avenue, as a Class II Bike Lane. It is proposed that the placement of Class II Bike Lanes on this street segment be done as a part of the re- striping subsequent to the asphalt overlay scheduled to be completed this month. This proposed action is the subject of a separate report to be considered by the City Council at the August 18 meeting. In the event the City Council elects to direct staff to not install Class II Bike Lanes on High Street, it will be necessary to revise the attached draft Resolution prior to its adoption.
