SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: October 21, 2009 AGENDA ITEM:
DEPARTMENT: Public Works CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson
PREPARED BY: Kristin Borel DIRECTOR: John Cherbone
Public Works Analyst
SUBJECT: Motor Vehicle (MV) Resolution authorizing No Parking
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Move to adopt the Motor Vehicle Resolution authorizing No Parking on Bankmill Road
REPORT SUMMARY:
The City received a request from a resident to restrict parking at the corner of Bankmill Road where
it meets Stoneridge Drive. Cars turning left onto Bankmill from northbound Stoneridge Drivers
have poor visibility of opposing traffic traveling down Bankmill and little room to navigate around
cars parked at or near the corner. The request is to prohibit parking in this area at all times.
This item was brought before the Traffic Safety Commission at the September 10, 2009 meeting. It
was reviewed by the Traffic Engineer and recommended by the Commission that parking be
restricted for 80 feet due to the lack of visibility and potential safety hazard. It is therefore
recommended that parking on both sides of Bankmill Road be designated as “No Parking
Anytime”. In order to enforce the new parking restriction on Bankmill Road, it is necessary that the
attached Motor Vehicle Resolution be adopted by City Council.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
Approximately $250 in labor and materials is required for the City to post signs. These
improvements are paid through the CIP which has a fund devoted to Traffic Safety.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The MV Resolution would not be adopted and parking conditions would continue as is.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
None.
