The Commission recommended the installation of red curbing, approximately 20-feet, on the southeast and southwest corners of the intersection. The Traffic Commission received a request from a resident to review conditions in this area due to concerns about the lack of visibility created by vehicles parked along the south side of the curb on Marshall Street, near the intersection, for drivers traveling northbound on Rockhold Avenue making a left or right turn onto Marshall Street. Staff reviewed the request with a traffic engineering consultant and recommended that 20-feet of red curbing be added on the southeast and southwest corners of the Rockhold Avenue and Marshall Street intersection along the south side of Marshall Street to increase the sight visibility for vehicles turning onto Marshall Street. STAFF RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve the Traffic Commission's recommendation to paint 20-feet of red curb on the southeast and southwest corners of the Rockhold Avenue and Marshall Street intersection along the south side of Marshall Street. DISCUSSION Rockhold Avenue is classified as a residential roadway and is approximately 35-feet wide with a posted speed limit of 25 miles per hour(MPH). There are two travel lanes in each direction with no yellow center line. In this area, parking is permitted on both sides of Rockhold Avenue, with the exception of street sweeping restrictions. Land use along this area of Rockhold Avenue is defined as low density residential. Marshall Street is classified as a collector roadway and is approximately 38-feet wide with a posted speed limit of 35 MPH. There are two travel lanes in each direction with a yellow center line. In this area, parking is permitted on both sides of Marshall Street, with the exception of street ITEM NUMBER: 5 Z City Council Meeting June 27,2017 Page 2 of 3 sweeping restrictions. Land use along this area of Marshall Street is defined as low density residential. A request was received concerning visibility issues at the intersection of Rockhold Avenue and Marshall Street due to vehicles parked on the south side of Marshall Street, near the intersection encroaching into the curb returns. The section of curbs on the south side of Marshall Street, from the southwest curb return to the first driveway approach is approximately 198-feet in length and the southeast curb return to the first driveway approach is approximately 120-feet in length. The California Manual on Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) provides guidance Section 3B.19 that"At all intersections,one stall length on each side measured from the crosswalk or end of curb return should have parking prohibited." Prohibiting parking for approximately 20-feet (one stall length) from the end of the curb return at the southeast and southwest corners of the intersection at Rockhold Avenue and Marshall Street will leave approximately 178-feet of curb space available for vehicles to park on the southeast curb space and approximately 100-feet of curb space available for vehicles to park on the southwest curb space. Parked vehicles are encroaching into the intersection of Rockhold Avenue and Marshall Street creating visibility issues for drivers traveling northbound on Rockhold Avenue and turning right or left onto Marshall Street. Staff has reviewed this site and has determined that by installing approximately 20-feet of red curb to restrict parking in this area will mitigate visibility issues.
