Gilbert, Director of Public Works DATE: August 24, 1993 (Council Meeting 9 -8 -93) SUBJECT: Consider Establishing Parking Restrictions to Facilitate Street Sweeping DISCUSSION The primary focus of a street sweeping operation is the gutters. This is where the debris accumulates. In many areas of most communities, parked cars prevent the street sweeper from sweeping the gutter. The result is a less than fully effective street sweeping operation. As you are aware, the City has embarked on a federally mandated program (NPDES) to improve the quality of stromwater run -off. That program identifies improved street sweeping operations as one of the ways in which this can be accomplished. In order to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the City's street sweeping program, the City Council may wish to consider the establishment of parking restrictions to allow the street sweeper to better sweep the gutter of the street. Attached is a draft resolution (Exhibit 1) which, if adopted, would allow the City to post signs prohibiting parking during certain designated hours of certain designated days to facilitate the street sweeping schedule. An example of the type of sign which would be placed is attached as Exhibit 2. Staff has confirmed with the Street Sweeping contractor that a four hour parking prohibition would be a sufficient amount of time to allow any given sweeping route to be swept. The contractor also stated that they would be able to adjust the time of the sweeping operation to any time preferred by the City, including coRPARK, CALlFO'2NW early morning hours, c,tyCouncllMeerng of 9- 199:3 ACTION: �� 0 9 By 17A, &Ick prk_evep Street Sweeping Parking Restrictions Page 2 A copy of the street sweeping map and schedule is attached as Exhibit 3. The City Council is reminded that the parking prohibition would be effective the day stated on the sign, every week. Except for certain portions of the downtown area which are swept weekly, the current sweeping schedule only calls for street sweeping every other week. WUM( A--r z 1 : t .
