FROM: Christopher L. Foss, City Manager �?14 "
SUBJECT: Adoption of No Parking Regulations in the Sorrento (West) Community
Prepared by William Lai, Public Works Technician 11
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider formalizing no- parking zones along various streets in the Sorrento
(West) community. These no- parking zones are recommended in areas where the street curb
extends into the street, and thus creating insufficient space to accommodate on- street parking.
Restricting on- street parking in these areas would eliminate safety concerns of potential conflicts
between moving vehicles and parked cars.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The cost to implement the no- parking zones along the various streets in the Sorrento community
by striping red curbs can be accommodated in the Fiscal Year 2014 -2015 street maintenance
operating budget.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution Amending the Dublin Traffic Code
Approving Parking Regulations Along Various Streets in the Sorrento (West) community.

DESCRIPTION:
\ Reviewed By
Assistant City Manager
In some areas of the Sorrento (West) community, street curbs partially extend into the adjacent
roadway, purposely narrowing the width of the roadway. The intent of these curb extensions, or
bulb -outs, is to reduce traffic speeds (Traffic Calming) by physically reducing the width of the
travel way. This technique has been shown to improve safety for all road users on residential
streets with lower traffic volumes.
The half- street width in these areas in Sorrento (West) varies between 13 to16 feet. A parked
vehicle would occupy eight (8) feet, leaving only five to eight (5 to 8) feet of usable roadway for
vehicles. This forces drivers to cross over the centerline of the street in order to pass a parked

vehicle creating potential traffic conflicts with opposing traffic. At many such curb extensions, no
formal parking restrictions exist.
City staff received a complaint from the manager of the homeowner's association in this
community that vehicles are often being parked in these areas, causing conflicts between
opposing vehicles. Staff conducted a field investigation and confirmed there was insufficient
width to allow parking in these areas.
Staff brought this item to the Traffic Safety Committee (TSC) for discussion. At the
recommendation of the TSC, Staff first installed yellow centerlines as a safety measure in an
attempt to increase awareness of the insufficient width and deter drivers from parking in these
spaces. However, motorists continued to park in these areas. At a subsequent TSC meeting, it
was recommended that further measures were needed to appropriately enforce the intended no-
parking zones, and it was decided that red curbs should be installed.
Staff has received the support of the homeowner's association manager on this report's
recommendation.
The proposed resolution (Attachment 1) prohibits parking along parts of the following streets-
1 . Aviano Way
2. Capoterra Way
3. Palermo Way
4. Montalcino Street
5. Perugia Street
6. Mirano Street
7. Rimini Lane
A map delineating the areas to be marked with red curb is included as Attachment 2.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS /PUBLIC OUTREACH:
A copy of this staff report was sent to the manager of the Sorrento (West) Homeowner's
Association.
