Recommended Action
Provide feedback on the draft Barrio Parking Study memorandum.
Executive Summary
On Dec. 9, 2025, the City Council adopted a resolution to create a new Capital Improvement
Program, or CIP, project named Barrio Parking Improvements Project to move forward with a
Barrio Parking Study to evaluate parking opportunities on wider streets in the Barrio.
Staff initiated work with a consultant to conduct the Barrio Parking Study to evaluate the
opportunities to increase parking on wider streets in the Barrio area, such as Pine Avenue, Palm
Avenue, and Madison Street, by converting parallel on-street parking to diagonal parking along
the curbs, as well as looking into the resident-initiated idea of creating a combination of
diagonal and parallel parking in the middle of Madison Street.
The study effort included conducting field reviews of the streets to confirm roadway striping
and dimensions; identifying existing driveways and colored curb locations; analyzing traffic
operations characteristics of the different parking options; the number of parking spaces gained
or lost; and preparing conceptual parking layouts.
The study ultimately revealed that converting parallel parking to diagonal parking on either side
of these wider streets would not yield any increase in parking spaces. Because none of the
parking options considered met the project objectives of increasing parking in the Barrio, staff
recommend the existing parallel parking configuration to remain on Pine Avenue, Palm Avenue
and Madison Street.

Explanation & Analysis
Staff have been evaluating opportunities to increase parking in the Village and Barrio. One of
the efforts includes a parking study in the Barrio to evaluate a proposed conversion of parallel
on-street parking to diagonal parking along the curbs of wider streets, including Pine Avenue
from Tyler Street to Harding Street, Palm Avenue from Madison Street to Harding Street, and
Madison Street from Oak Avenue to Magnolia Street. Staff initiated work with a consultant on
this Barrio Parking Study.
Preliminary parking concepts that were developed include:
•diagonal parking on one side of the street
•center-running diagonal and parallel parking
•center-running dual-directional diagonal parking on Madison Street and
•diagonal parking on one side of the street for Pine Avenue and Palm Avenue.
All of the preliminary parking concepts on Madison Street would require removal of bike lane
on one side or both sides of the street. Graphic representations of these options can be found
in Appendix A of the draft Barrio Parking Study Memorandum, see Exhibit 1.
An internal city team consisting of staff from the Transportation, Fire and Police departments
reviewed the feasibility, traffic operation and Carlsbad Municipal Code conformance of these
preliminary options and determined that the two options of center-running diagonal parking
(with or without parallel parking) would not provide the required 24 feet of unobstructed
roadway width for Fire Apparatus access per Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 17.04.060B.
These two preliminary options, therefore, were not supported by staff for further evaluation.
The remaining options were further evaluated with more detailed parking layouts prepared and
available parking spaces calculated for the three streets studied.
•Option 1 - No Change
•Option 2A - Diagonal Parking on East/North Side of Street
•Option 2B - Diagonal Parking on West/South Side of Street
Number of Parking Spaces
Detailed parking layouts for the three parking options were prepared, showing the number of
existing parallel parking spaces under Option 1 assuming the standard 20-foot long parking
space and the number of diagonal parking spaces that could be provided by Option 2A and 2B,
based on existing driveway and colored curb locations, as shown in Appendix B of the draft
Barrio Parking Study Memorandum in Exhibit 1.
Based on the evaluation conducted, Options 2A and 2B, converting one side of parallel parking
to diagonal parking, would yield no net increase in parking spaces on all three streets. All of the
options, except Option 2A for Palm Avenue, would result in a reduction in the number of
parking spaces available, mainly due to the number of driveways that exist on these streets.
Diagonal parking spaces require longer uninterrupted stretches of curb to gain any advantage
over parallel parking in the number of parking spaces. The high number of existing driveways
breaks up the diagonal parking layout resulting in a loss of parking spaces available when
compared to the existing parallel parking under Option 1.
July 6, 2026 Item #6 Page 2 of 43
Table 1 summarizes the number of parking spaces available for all three options based on the
standard parallel parking space length of 20 feet. An example of a diagonal parking layout on
one side of Madison Street is shown in Figure 1.

Operational Consideration
The Barrio Parking Study also evaluated potential impacts to traffic operations with the
conversion of parallel parking to diagonal parking on one side of Pine Avenue, Palm Avenue and
Madison Street.
Diagonal parking against the curb has the potential for the front bumper of parked vehicles to
encroach onto the adjacent sidewalk. Given that the existing sidewalk width on the three
studied streets is typically 5 feet, encroachment by parked vehicles would reduce the available
pedestrian clear path and negatively impact pedestrian access and ADA accessibility in the area.
Both Options 2A and 2B would require removal of the existing bike lanes on Madison Street.
Based on traffic counts conducted in January 2026, nearly 200 bikes were observed using the
existing bike lanes on Madison Street on a weekend day. Removal of bike lanes on this street
would impact bike infrastructure on Madison Street.
Due to the location of existing driveways, there are areas where diagonal parking does not fit,
which would result in a mixed configuration of parallel and diagonal parking. A mixed parallel
and diagonal parking configuration is not recommended because it would cause driver
confusion.
July 6, 2026 Item #6 Page 3 of 43
Conclusion
Based on the evaluation and the findings presented, staff recommend the existing parallel
parking configuration on the three studied streets, Pine Avenue, Palm Avenue and Madison
Street, to remain in the Barrio.
Next Steps
Following the Traffic Safety & Mobility Commission’s consideration and input, staff will finalize
the Barrio Parking Study memorandum and issue a City Council Memorandum to present the
study results to the City Council.

Memo
Date: June 24, 2026
To: Miriam Jim, PE, TE
City of Carlsbad Public Works Traffic & Mobility Division
Subject: Barrio Parking Study Conceptual Parking Layout Review
In support of the City of Carlsbad’s Barrio Parking Study, this memorandum evaluates the feasibility
and projected parking stall yields of reconfiguring on-street parking layouts across three specific
study segments:
•Madison Street (from Oak Avenue to Magnolia Avenue)
•Pine Avenue (from Tyler Street to Harding Street)
•Palm Avenue (from Madison Street to Harding Street)
As part of a preliminary screening, a total of five parking concepts were developed for Madison
Street, and three concepts were evaluated for Pine Avenue and Palm Avenue.
The five preliminary concepts for Madison Street were as follows:
•Concept 1: Parallel to Diagonal Parking (Bicycle Lane Removal on both sides) – This option
removed the existing bike lanes along Madison Street to maximize curbside vehicle capacity. The
cross-section was reconfigured to feature diagonal parking stalls along one side of the street
(East or West) and standard parallel parking along the opposite side.
•Concept 2: Parallel to Diagonal Parking (Bicycle Lane Removal on one side) – This alternative
converted one side of Madison Street (East or West) to diagonal parking while preserving a
buffered bicycle lane configuration on the opposite side of the roadway.
•Concept 3: Center Diagonal and Parallel Parking – This configuration introduced a center-
running diagonal parking module along the centerline of Madison Street, supplemented by
standard curbside parallel parking. Due to right-of-way constraints, this option required the
removal of the existing bicycle lanes.
•Concept 4: Center Diagonal Parking (Dual-Directional) – This option established a dedicated
center-running diagonal parking median serving both northbound and southbound travel
directions along Madison Street. To accommodate the center parking module and necessary
travel lanes, the existing curbside parking and bicycle lanes were eliminated.
•Concept 5: No Change (Baseline) – This baseline concept maintains the existing roadway cross-
section and parking alignment along Madison Street. Everything will remain as it is, a standard
length of 20 feet per stall was used to calculate parking capacity.

Barrio Parking Study Conceptual Parking Layout Review | 2
The three preliminary concepts for Pine Ave and Palm Ave were as follows:
• Concept 1 (Pine Ave and Palm Ave): Parallel to Diagonal Parking – The roadways were
reconfigured to feature diagonal parking stalls along one side of the street (North or South) and
standard parallel parking along the opposite side, excluding the segment of Pine Avenue from
Tyler Street to Madison Street.
• Concept 2 (Pine Ave): Parallel to Diagonal Parking (Constrained Cross-Section) – The roadway
was reconfigured along Pine Avenue to feature diagonal parking stalls along one side of the street
(North or South) without parallel parking on the opposite side to accommodate narrower right-
of-way constraints.
• Concept 3 (Pine Ave and Palm Ave): No Change (Baseline) – This baseline concept maintains
the existing roadway cross-section and parking alignment along Pine Avenue and Palm Avenue. A
standard length of 20 feet per stall was used to calculate parking capacity.
The conceptual design options are provided in Appendix A.
Following a preliminary screening by City Transportation Department staff and representatives from
the City Fire and Police Departments, the concepts selected to move forward for further analysis
were identified. The concepts selected met the minimum unobstructed roadway width of 24 feet for
Fire Apparatus access per Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 17.04.060B. The selected concepts were
combined into two packages for all the study segments. Descriptions for both package options are
provided below:
• Option 1: No Change – Maintains parallel parking on both sides of the segment, utilizing a
minimum 20-foot to calculate existing baseline inventory.
• Option 2: 30-Degree Angled Parking (One Side Only) – Converts a single side of the street
to a 30-degree angled configuration. On standard 48-foot-wide right-of-way segments,
standard parallel parking is retained on the opposite side (Hybrid Layout). On narrow 40-
foot-wide right-of-way segments (identified along portions of Pine Avenue), parallel parking
on the opposite side is eliminated to maintain 24-foot travel lane widths. This option was
evaluated for both sides of the street independently to determine the optimal configuration.
The conceptual design options selected to move forward are provided in Appendix B.
Geometric Design Standards
A field visit determined that no dedicated parking stall striping exists on any of the study segments.
Vehicle parking efficiency varies across each segment with some vehicles parking close together and
others parking with excessive distance between vehicles, but not enough for another vehicle. As a
result, some block segments have vehicles blocking sightlines and encroaching into driveway areas.
To maintain consistency across the study segments, the layout evaluations adhered to the following
geometric dimensions and standards, including a 24' minimum unobstructed roadway width per
Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 17.04.060B:
July 6, 2026 Item #6 Page 6 of 43
Barrio Parking Study Conceptual Parking Layout Review | 3
Parallel Parking Configuration
Stall width of 8 feet with a minimum of 20 feet in length per stall. A minimum threshold of 20 feet of
continuous, unblocked curb space was required per vehicle. Consequently, any isolated or
fragmented curb pocket measuring less than 40 feet would mathematically only yield one (1) striped
parallel space. A conceptual diagram of the parallel parking stall configuration is shown below.
30-Degree Parking Configuration
Each parking stall features a width of 8.5 feet (measured perpendicular to the striping angle) and
requires an angled stripe length of 32 feet. To establish this geometry within the AutoCAD drafting
environment, layout lines were rotated exactly 60 degrees relative to the project baseline,
establishing a true 30-degree striping angle measured directly from the face of the curb. Based on
this geometric profile, these 30-degree stalls require a linear curb length of 17 feet per vehicle. While
the actual painted stripes are 32 feet long, the angled orientation results in an effective stall depth of
16 feet measured perpendicularly from the curb face into the roadway. A conceptual diagram of the
30-degree parking stall configuration is shown below.

Parking Inventory and Capacity Comparison
The tables below establish the comparative analysis matrix, evaluating the standardized baseline
parallel parking layout (Option 1) independently against Option 2A and Option 2B. The variance
identifies the difference in parking supply due to the design standards presented above and accounts
for existing conditions such as red curbs, residential driveways, fire hydrants, and localized cross-
section width reductions.
Baseline vs. Option 2A
Table 1 identifies the parking supply results for Option 2A when compared to the standardized
baseline. This scenario places angled parking along the east side of Madison Street, the north side of
Palm Avenue, and the north side of Pine Avenue, while keeping parallel parking on the opposite side
where the street is wider than 40 feet. As identified in Table 1, Option 2A has either no change or a
decrease in parking supply for each segment compared to the standardized baseline with a total loss
of 17 parking stalls across all three study segments. This reduction in parking supply is primarily due
to the increased linear curb length required per vehicle for angled configurations compared to
standard parallel stalls. Furthermore, angled layouts are sensitive to fixed street constraints; existing
driveways, utility conflicts, and intersection sight distance clearances create substantial "dead space"
along the curb where angled stalls cannot be physically accommodated, thereby lowering the overall
parking supply yield.

Base Count vs. Scenario 2B
Table 2 identifies the parking supply results for Option 2B when compared to the standardized
baseline. Option 2B has the opposite configuration from Option 2A with angled parking on the west
side of Madison Street, the south side of Palm Avenue, and the south side of Pine Avenue, while
keeping parallel parking on the opposite side where the street is wider than 40 feet. As identified in
Table 2, Option 2B has a decrease in parking supply for each segment compared to the standardized
baseline with a total loss of 31 parking stalls across all three study segments. This larger decline in
parking supply underscores how sensitive angled parking configurations are to specific curb-line
geometry. Because angled stalls require a wider, uninterrupted stretch of curb to be efficient, the
high frequency of existing driveways and conflict points on these particular sides of the streets
breaks up the parking layout, resulting in a greater loss of parking stalls compared to the parallel
baseline.

Pine Ave 60 44 -16
Palm Ave 47 43 -4
Total 208 177 -31
Source: Fehr & Peers.
Other Considerations
Beyond the loss of parking supply, both Option 2A and Option 2B have additional considerations
which affect the study segments. The first consideration is that any vehicle parked diagonally against
the curb has the potential for the front bumper to encroach on the sidewalk space due to the
distance from the front wheels to the leading edge of the vehicle. This encroachment can limit the
effective width of the sidewalk. While a 30-degree angle will have less encroachment than a 45 or
60-degree angle, some encroachment can still occur and reduce the effective sidewalk width. Given
that the existing sidewalk width across the study segments is typically 5 feet, this encroachment
directly reduces the available pedestrian clear path, which could negatively impact general mobility
and ADA accessibility. While a 30-degree angle will have less encroachment than a 90-degree angle,
some encroachment can still occur and reduce the effective sidewalk width.
Additionally, both Option 2A and Option 2B remove both existing northbound and southbound bike
lanes on Madison Street. Increasing transportation options and improving connectivity within the city
are core values of the Carlsbad Community Vision (Sustainable Mobility Plan, 2021 and Carlsbad
General Plan Mobility Element, 2015). The removal of the bike lanes would decrease transportation
options and could potentially increase parking demand on the study corridors as opportunities for
traveling by a non-automotive mode would be reduced. Furthermore, diagonal parking does not fit
along shorter curb areas between driveways, resulting in a mixed configuration of parallel and
diagonal parking along the same segment, which could cause driver confusion.

Summary
The reconfiguration of parking on the study segments to anything other than parallel parking would
result in the loss of parking supply due to the increased linear curb length required per vehicle and
physical constraints like existing driveways. Additionally, secondary effects such as the reduction of
effective sidewalk width and removal of bike lanes on Madison Street could have a negative effect of
non-automotive modes access to the Barrio.
