SUBJECT: A Resolution Establishing a NO STOPPING ANYTIME
Zone on Both Sides of Tierra Rejada Road from
Spring Road to Los Angeles Avenue and Repealing
Resolution No. 87 -41.4
OVERVIEW
This presents a Resolution changing the parking restriction on
Tierra Rejada Road between Spring Road and Los Angeles Avenue
from NO PARKING ANYTIME to NO STOPPING ANYTIME.
DISCUSSION
A. Background
In September of 1987 the City c.:ouncil adopted Resolution No.
87 -414 establishing a NO PARKING ANYTIME ZONE on Tierra
Rejada Road from Spring Road to Los Angeles Avenue. This
restriction was imposed, in part., to prevent conflicts
between parked and stopped cars and the Class II marked
Bicycle Lanes on Tierra Rejadr+ Road..
B. Proposed Change
The present NO PARKING restriction prohibits vehicles from
stopping in the marked bicycle lanes. Unfortunately, this is
not clear to the general public. For that reason, traffic
officers have been reluctant t:..o issue citations to vehicles
which are not unattended. Nevertheless, the stopped vehicles
in bicycle lanes pose a hazard to traffic safety. To resolve
this confusion and better provide for traffic safety, it is
recommended that the NO PARKING ANY TIME restriction be
upgraded to NO STOPPING ANYTIME
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt the attached resolution est,tbl fishing a NO STOPPING ANYTIME
zone on both sides of Tierra Rejada Road from Spring Road to Los
Angeles Avenue and repealing Res, °Lut for No. 87 -414.
