STRIPING AND "NO PARKING ANYTIME" ZONE ON LA COSTA AVENUE
Statement of the Matter
At its April 3, 1978 meeting, the Traffic Safety Commission recommended that
a continuous left-turn lane be painted and a "NO PARKING ANYTIME" zone be
established along both sides of La Costa Avenue from El Camino Real to Rancho
Santa Fe Road in order to maintain a low accident rate on La Costa Avenue
despite its increasing \traffic volumes. However, the Commission was very
concerned about eliminating all the parking in front of residences that face
La Costa Avenue.
Staff has designed a striping plan (on file in Engineering Department) that
will secure on-street parking in front of most of the homes along La Costa
Avenue. At its June 5, 1978 meeting, the Traffic Safety Commission recom-
mended that this striping plan be implemented.

Since the Comnission wants to maintain a low accident rate on La Costa Avenue, but was very concerned about eliminating all the parking in front of residences facing La Costa Avenue, staff has designed a striping layout that will secure on-street parking in front of most of the homes along La Costa Avenue. The Comnission recommended that the striping and no parking outlined in Plan "B" be implemented on La Costa Avenue, which would formally establish the NO PARKING zones. -* Features of this plan include:
a) Retaining the existing no parking on both sides of La Costa Avenue from just west of Nueva Castilla Way to east of Romeria; except, re- move some of the parking restriction along the north side, between Viejo Castilla and Calle Madero.
Retaining parking along the north side from the SDG&E easement (near El Camino Real) to just west of Nueva Castilla Way.
Retaining parking along the south side of La Costa Avenue from just east of Romeria Street to Levante Street.
b)
c)
d) Enough street width to implement bike lanes as directed in the Circu- lation Element of the City's General Plan.
e)
f)
Maintaining left turn lanes at every intersection.
Establishing a continuous two-way left turn lane and only one east- bound lane of traffic between Romeria Street to Levante Street.
