However, one of the traffic related improvements associated with the Streetscape Project would be to remove 92 on-street parallel parking spaces from Elm Avenue to provide two traffic lanes in each direction, in addition to raised medians and other amenities. Previous actions of the Housing and Redevelopment Commission has already initiated construction of several phases of the Streetscape Project. The scheduled 1990 Elm Avenue portion of the project will remove on-street parking and it has been previously determined that off-street parking lots would be constructed to compensate for the loss of street parking. At the August 15, 1989 meeting of the Housing and Redevelopment Commission, the Commission awarded the bid to construct three downtown parking lots to provide replacement parking for those spaces removed by the Streetscape Project. The parking lots are under construction and tentatively scheduled to be completed by the end of November, 1989. It has been the intent of the Housing and Redevelopment Commission to not remove on-street parking until the time that the three parking lots are completed. Removing on-street parking when the parking lots are completed has the advantage of providing a transition period from the time that the parking lots are completed to when the on-street parking would otherwise-be removed by the streetscape construction sometime in 1990. The Traffic Safety Commission reviewed this matter at their meeting on July 10, 1989. By a 5-0 vote, the Traffic Safety Commission recommended that on-street parking be removed and that a NO PARKING zone be established on both sides of Elm Avenue when the three downtown parking lots are completed. A NO PARKING zone currently exists on Elm Avenue from Harding Street to Pi0 Pic0 Drive, therefor the Commission recommended the limits of the NO PARKING zone extend from Carlsbad Boulevard to Pi0 Pic0 Drive and be established by an ordinance. At the time on-street parking is removed, the Traffic Safety Commission recommended that Elm Avenue be striped with four lanes between Carlsbad Boulevard and Harding Street to join the existing four lanes easterly of Harding Street. PAGE TWO OF AB# /’ 3/9 FISCAL IMPACT: Undetermined at this time. Signing and striping costs will be negotiated with the streetscape contractor based upon unit prices for signing and striping currently in effect for Phase I1 of the Streetscape Project and submitted to the Housing and Redevelopment Commission for approval.
