PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS:
Background:
On February 8, 2022, the Board added Supervisor Phillips’ Referral No. 2022.05 to the County Board of Supervisors’ referral matrix. The referral is seeking to codify No Parking on Madison Lane.
Proposed Project Description:
Madison Lane is a County maintained road in the Boronda community, an unincorporated community west of the City of Salinas. It is Public Works, Facilities and Parks (PWFP) staff understanding from the Board Referral, that roadside parking on Madison Lane has created a consistent and increasing public health and safety concern for the Boronda community and businesses, particularly regarding traffic hazards caused by one lane traffic generated from parked vehicles.
The referral involves completion of the following tasks:
• Perform traffic engineering study for parking prohibition warrants. This includes performing community outreach and coordination for needs assessment and full understanding.
• Prepare ordinance and Board Report to present to the Board for consideration. This includes the amount of time to route an item through the levels of departmental review prior to an item being taken to the Board for consideration.
• Schedule and present a public hearing per the California Government Code.
• If approved, allow thirty days to pass per California Government Code Section 25123.
• Install requisite signage.
Estimated Project Cost:
Costs associated with the completion of this referral include the cost for staff time, and the cost of labor and materials. Estimated cost may be upwards of $15,000. Staff costs will be absorbed by lead department and assisting departments (Public Works, Parks and Facilities; and the Office of the County Counsel).
Staffing Level Estimate:
It is anticipated that one (1) to two (2) PWFP staff, along with County Counsel staff will be utilized to complete a response to the subject referral. Additional field crew personnel will be required for installation of signs.
Departmental Challenges:
Coordination with local community and stakeholders for the proposed parking prohibition.
Proposed Response Date:
Staff proposes to return to the Board prior to June 30, 2022.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STRATEGIC INITIATIVES:
The recommended action supports the Board of Supervisors’ Strategic Initiatives for Administration and Public Safety. Should the study demonstrate a need, these services will enhance our Transportation needs, and will improve the quality of life for County residents.
