AGENDA REPORT
To: Honorable City Council
From: Michael Mathews, Senior Management AnalystP���' "1
Date: August 16, 2000 (CC Meeting of 9 -6 -2000)
SUBJECT: CONSIDER RESOLUTION NO. 2000- DIRECTING THE
PLACEMENT OF NO STOPPING SIGNS AT THE CORNER OF
THIRD STREET AND BARD STREET TO FACILITATE SCHOOL
BUS TURNS.
BACKGROUND
Third Street runs east /west, and Bard Street is aligned on
a north /south axis. They meet at right angles ( _J ) north
of Flory School. The curb to curb street width is forty
(40) feet. Unlike the current traffic construction practice
of widening streets at right -angle intersections to
facilitate vehicle movements, sharp turns are required to
negotiate this intersection.
A north /south crosswalk assists students walking to Flory
School (see attached aerial photo) . The curb on the south
side of Third Street is already painted yellow, indicating
restricted parking for a loading zone. There is a corner
house along the inside curve of the intersection. Along the
outside of the curve, there one house to the east of the
intersection and school district property south of the
intersection.
DISCUSSION
School buses travel through this intersection while
transporting students. If cars are parked near the corner
of the intersection, buses and other vehicles are
restricted in their movements. The purpose of the proposed

Third and Bard Parking Restriction

Page 2
parking prohibition is to prevent vehicles from parking in
areas that would impede the movement of school buses
through the intersection. The attached diagram shows the
areas recommended for a red curb.
There is a vacant lot on the east side of Bard Street on
which it is anticipated that two homes will be built
fronting Bard Street. The proposed red curb will not permit
curb parking in front of these two homes.
A double - yellow centerline stripe will be painted through
the intersection to indicate traffic lanes. The centerline
will be offset from the true centerline and placed as
directed by the City's Traffic Engineer.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 2000- establishing a parking
prohibition on Third Street and Bard Street.
