Prepared by Obaid Khan, Senior Civil Engineer (Traffic /Transportation)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A 300 -foot time restricted passenger loading zone on a portion of the west side of Lockhart
Street adjacent to Kolb Elementary School was approved by the City Council at the July 16,
2013 meeting. This loading zone was requested by the Dublin Unified School District (DUSD)
and implemented in conjunction with the establishment of a school circulation plan to improve
traffic flow and safety during pick -up and drop -off times.
DUSD has requested an extension of the existing 300 foot loading zone by an additional 300
feet to accommodate additional vehicles.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Year 2013 -2014 Street Maintenance Operating Budget.

At the July 16, 2013 meeting, the City Council approved a time restricted passenger loading
zone at a point 91 feet south of Palermo Way and extending 300 feet southerly to improve pick-
up and drop -off operations at Kolb Elementary School. This loading zone provides an alternative
to the on- campus pick -up and drop -off area and is part of an overall traffic circulation plan
implemented by DUSD in coordination with the City.

Staff has received a request from DUSD to extend the existing loading zone by 300 feet for a
total of 600 feet to accommodate additional vehicles. Staff has reviewed the existing field
conditions and supports DUSD's request. This action will allow additional drop -off and pick -up of
students, and will improve traffic circulation in the area.
Pursuant to Chapter 6.04 of the Dublin Municipal Code, the City Council may, by resolution,
designate areas in which parking is prohibited at certain times. A draft resolution is attached
(Attachment 1) that would designate the west side of Lockhart Street from a point approximately
91 feet south of southerly prolongation of Palermo Way to a distance of 600 feet south, a time
restricted loading zone during the hours of: 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM and 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM on
school days only. A map of the proposed action (Attachment 2) is attached for reference.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS /PUBLIC OUTREACH:
A copy of this staff report has been provided to DUSD.
