Establish terminal access routes on Cluff Avenue between Turner Road and Victor Road, Black Diamond Way, and Beckman Road between Black Diamond Way and Turner Road 2. Authorize the Public Works Director to establish terminal access routes on industrial streets defined as streets adjacent to industrial -zoned areas and streets east of Highway 99. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: City staff continues to receive requests for terminal access routes for businesses, particularly in the industrial area east of Highway 99. Our current practice is using truck template software to evaluate and determine if the requested routes can accommodate Surface Transportation Assistance Act (STAA) trucks. Recently, Tigerlines, Inc., located on Black Diamond Way between Beckman Road and Cluff Avenue, requested STAA truck routes to and from their facility. Staff evaluated the requested routes and determined the following streets can accommodate STAA trucks: Cluff Avenue between Turner Road and Victor Road, Black Diamond Way, and Beckman Road between Black Diamond Way and Turner Road. To accommodate the STAA trucks, some minor no -parking zones are required at some intersections. Since staff is primarily receiving STAA truck route requests on industrial streets, staff is suggesting the Resolution also be modified to allow these terminal access routes to be designated administratively, in order to improve our response to businesses. FISCAL IMPACT: Signs are optional per the Vehicle Code, and staff anticipates mainly relying on a published map. Implementation costs are minimal and can be absorbed within the operating budget. The no -parking zones will be funded by Tigerlines, Inc. FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable. -I Prepared by Paula J.
