BACKGROUND: DATA: Before reconstruction started, Carlsbad Boulevard was a 2-lane roadway with a separate parking area on the west side. Section 10.40.041 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code (attached) prohibited parking in the provided parkinz area between the hours of 11 :00 p.m and 6:00 a.m. each evening. In 1987, the State beach parking area was partially destroyed during a winter storm. When plans were prepared for improving and widening Carlsbad Boulevard, provisions were made to provide parallel on-street parking for a distance of 4600 feet along the west curb line. No on-street parking will be allowed on the easterly side of Carlsbad Boulevard. Over the years, various parking restrictions have been implemented or changed due to construction operations or maintenance activities. The CMC should be revised to reflect current conditions regarding parking on Carlsbad Boulevard. Carlsbad Boulevard is currently under construction from the Agp.a Hedionda Lagoon Bridge to 330' feet north of Tierra del Oro Street. The typical pavement width in this section of Carlsbad Boulevard will be 82' feet and mcludes a raised median. This road will be striped with two 12' travel lanes and a 6' bike lane northbound and two 12' travel lanes, a 6' bike lane and a 10' parking lane for southbound traffic. The parking lane will be adjacent to the curbline to allow daytime and evening parking from 6:00 a.m. to 11 :00 p.m. If parking is not restricted during the night, this section of Carlsbad Boulevard could become a camping area for recreational and other vehicles with potential law enforcement problems. Beach erosion, maintenance activities and construction of the streetscape project all have changed parking conditions on Carlsbad Boulevard since CMC Section 10.40.041 was last revised. To accurately reflect the existing conditions in the field, it is recommended the Section 10.40.041 be modified and written as indicated on Exhibit 2, attached. On occasion~ there are beach users that arrive as early as 5:00 a.m. for activities such as sumng, fishing or jogging, to name a few. The Police Chief stated that law enforcement problems with oeach users at 5:00 a.m. would be minimal and that on-street parking could occur at this time with minimal!.roblems. Likewise, street sweeping operations would also be minimally impacte . The Traffic Safety Coordinating Committee was of the opinion that ending the parking restriction at 5:00 a.m. would be a benefit to the general public. TRAFFIC SAFE1Y COMMISSION COMMISSION MEETING OF: October 2, 1989 (Continued) RECOMMENDATION: ITEM NO. ~ The Traffic Safety Coordinating Committtee recommends expanding the limits of the existing NO PARKING zone on the west side of Carlsbad Boulevard to conform with the newly constructed curbside parking lane between the Agua Hedionda Lagoon Bridge and Tierra Del Oro Street and to revise Section 10.40.041 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code as indicated on Exhibit 2. Futhermoreh the TSCC recommends the night restriction for NO PARKING to be between t e hours of 11 :00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. seven days a week. NECESSARY CI1Y COUNCIL ACTION: Section 10.40.41 of the existing ordinance will need to be amended by the City Council to establish the west side of Carlsbad Boulevard between the Agua Hedionda Lagoon Bridge and Tierra Del Oro Street as a NO PARKING zone between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. seven days a week and to reflect other changes as indicated on Exhibit 2.
