TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION
COMMISSION REPORT OF: September 12, 1988 ITEM NO._§_L_
LOCATION: Avenida Encinas between Poinsettia Lane and Windrose Circle.
INITIATED BY: Engineering Department -Traffic Engineering Division.
REQUESTED ACTION: Establish a NO PARKING zone between Poinsettia Lane and
Windrose Circle on Avenida Encinas.
BACKGROUND:
DATA:
Upon Avenida Encinas between Poinsettia Lane and Windrose Circle there are
no signs to indicate parking restrictions. As a consequence, vehicles
parking in the existing painted bike lane will cause bicyclists to swerve
into the Number 2 through lane creating potential vehicle/bicycle
conflicts.
Avenida Encinas between Poinsettia Lane and Windrose Circle has two traffic
lanes and a bike lane in each direction with a divided raised median for
most of its length. Avenida Encinas is designated as a Secondary Arterial
on the Circulation Element of the General Plan and is striped accordingly.
At this time, there are no signs posted to indicate that parking in the
bike lane is prohibited. Therefore, the Police Department cannot issue
parking violation citations. Once an ordinance is adopted by City Council,
signs will be posted to establish the NO PARKING zone.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Traffic Safety Coordinating Committee recommends that a NO PARKING zone
be established on Avenida Encinas between Poinsettia Lane and Windrose
Circle.
NECESSARY CITY COUNCIL ACTION:
An ordinance will be required for adoption by the City Council to establish
the NO PARKING zone.
