NEXT TRAFFIC, SAFETY & PARKING COMMISSION MEETING: April 9, 2020 Page 2 City of Burlingame Printed on 3/9/2020 1 STAFF REPORT AGENDA ITEM NO: 6.b MEETING DATE: March 12, 2020 To: Traffic Safety and Parking Commission Date: March 12, 2020 From: Andrew Wong, Transportation Engineer – (650) 558-7230 Subject: Removal of P.M. Peak Period On-Street Parking Restrictions Along the 1700 Block of California Drive (Trousdale Drive to Dufferin Avenue) RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Commission review and determine their support regarding the request to remove the 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on-street parking restriction along the 1700 block of California Drive (Trousdale Drive to Dufferin Avenue). BACKGROUND In 2016, an evening parking restriction was implemented on the 1700 block of California Drive. This restriction was from Trousdale Drive to Dufferin Avenue, between 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. It affected six on-street parking spaces. The main goal of this parking restriction was to increase bicycle safety, as there was only a Class III facility (sharrows) in place at the time. Subsequent to this action, the California Drive Complete Streets Project was completed in the fall of 2018. This project provided a Class II bicycle lane along the 1700 block of California Drive. With an upgraded bicycle facility now in place, the residents have requested the removal of the parking restriction. DISCUSSION In 2016, staff recommended the implementation of a time limited parking restriction during the peak periods as a short-term improvement. This restriction would provide additional roadway width and relief for southbound bicyclists during the peak periods. At the Traffic Safety and Parking Commission (TSPC) meeting, staff also indicated that restricting the parking, rather than eliminating the on-street parking altogether for the residents, would be a compromise between the needs of the neighborhood and the bicycle community. While there would be added roadway width during the evening peak period, there would still be on-street parking during most of the day and on weekends. Staff viewed this as a short-term change while the City underwent a study to determine a permanent bicycle facility along California Drive. The TSPC made a unanimous motion to support a 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. weekday parking restriction along the 1700 block of California Drive from Trousdale Drive to Dufferin Avenue. 6.b – Discussion of On-Street Parking Restrictions Along California Drive March 12, 2020 2 Prior to the California Drive Complete Streets Project, the roadway width along the 1700 block was about 40-feet, with the following cross-sections below. – Southbound Parking Lane: 8-feet – Southbound Travel Lane: 16-feet – Northbound Travel Lane: 10-feet – Northbound Shoulder: 6-feet There were sharrows in the northbound and southbound directions along California Drive. With the completion of the California Drive Complete Streets Project, the current cross-sections are provided below. – Southbound Parking Lane: 8-feet – Southbound Class II Bike Lane: 6-feet – Southbound Travel Lane: 10-feet – Northbound Travel Lane: 10-feet – Northbound Class II Bike Lane: 6-feet Should the TSPC confirm that there is a majority of support to remove the evening parking restriction along the 1700 block of California Drive, the TSPC may make a motion of support for the change. 1 STAFF REPORT AGENDA ITEM NO: 7.a MEETING DATE: March 12, 2020 To: Traffic Safety and Parking Commission Date: March 12, 2020 From: Andrew Wong, Senior Engineer – (650) 558-7230 Subject: Engineering Division Reports/Public Works Update RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Commission receive a presentation by staff providing an update on various Public Works – Engineering projects and activities.
