Home My WebLink AboutAgenda Report - September 4, 1991 (86)4� CITY OF LO D I COU NC L COMM U NICATI ON AGENDA TITLE: Parking Study, Oak Street and Walnut Street - from Sacramento Street to the Southern Pacific Railroad (SPRR) Tracks N1FEll!\TU DATE: September 4, 1991 PREPARED BY: Public Works Director RECOMMENDED ACTION That the City Council review the following parking study on Oak Street and on Walnut Street, from Sacramento Street to the SPRR tracks, and take the appropriate action. BACKGROUND P4;CRMATION: Public Works staff is concerned about cleaning and maintenance of the segments of Oak and Walnut Streets between Sacramento Street and the SPRR tracks. Access is blocked by parked vehicles, especially at Oak Street. These parked vehicles have been observed at all times of the day indicating that many are not associated with the businesses in the area. Street Division staff has also observed people sleeping in vehicles parked in this area. Lodi Municipal Code, Section 15.52.170, prohibits motorists from living or sleeping in their cars. However, according to the Police Department, it is difficult to enforce. EXBTNG CONDITIONS Both Oak Street and Walnut Street dead end at the SPRR tracks. Vehicular traffic volumes in these areas are minimal. Available accident records for the 4+ years, from 1987 to the present, indicate that there have been no accidents on Walnut Street. One accident has occurred on Oak Street. This 1989 accident involved a driver backing from the north side of Oak Street into a vehicle parked on private property on the south side of Oak Street. This driver was arrested for driving under the influence. All -day parking is allowed in these areas. Marked parallel parking stalls exist along both sides of Walnut Street and the south side of Oak Street. Marked perpendicular (90°) parking stalls exist or! the north side of Oak Street (ExhibitA). Parking demand is relatively high on Oak Street and low on Walnut Street. These areas are the only locations in the vicinity where all -day parking is al lcwed . THOMAS A. PETERSON City Manager COAKWLNT/TXTW.02M (CO.COM) CC -1 August 27, 1991 Parking Study, Oak Street and Walnut Street - from Sacramento Street to the Southern Pacific Railroad (SPRR) Tracks September 4, 1991, Page 2 1r' ML.S. Alternatives addressing the access problems listed above are as follows: Alternative A: Take no action. Alternative B: Convert all -day parking to two-hour parking from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. except Sundays and holidays, matching the rest of the downtown (with or without an exception for Downtown Permits). Advantages : ° Removes long-term parking from the area ° Will return the on -street parking in these areas to the adjacent businesses Disadvantages: ° Street sweeper will not be able to maintain area since all -day parking is allowed before 9 a.m. The downtown streets are swept before 9 a.m. cn Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Alternative C: Prohibit parking between the hcurs of 3 a.m. to 7 a.m. Advantages : " Allows street sweeping ° Should remove the majority of long-term parking from these areas ° Still allows the businesses to park all day Disadvantages : ° Limited access by City crews nny continue except during "no parking" hours ° Some extended parking may s t i 11 continue Alternative D: Combine Alternatives B and C DISCUSSION/P,ECOMMENDATION Staff favors Alternative C or D as we feel it will benefit both the City and businesses in the area. If Council wishes to change tha parking limits, the Traffic Resolution 87-163 will need to be amended In addition, staff feels that "no parking" zones should be installed at the end of these streets to provide an area for vehicles to turn around (Exhibit B). Die to the short lengths of "no parking" zones required to provide this turn around area (20' or less), Council approval is not required for this modification per the City Code.
