Re: On-Street Parking in the Village, Phase 2 {District 1) (city of
Carlsbad
Memo ID# 2025023
This memorandum provides an update on continued efforts to maximize on-street parking in the Downtown Village area.
Background
Staff have continued to evaluate on-street parking in the Village, including the review of areas where parking is currently prohibited that could be modified to allow parking. While traffic safety is a high priority, and staff will continue to respond to concerns regarding sight distance, development and land use changes may invalidate previously established parking prohibitions.
For example, red curbs associated with an unused driveway opening may be re-purposed to accommodate parking.
On January 30, 2025, a Council Memorandum was issued reporting that approximately 15 parking spaces were restored as part of the Phase 1 effort.
Discussion
In January and February 2025, staff conducted additional field review of the on-street parking in the Village, the area generally bounded by the Pacific Ocean (west), Interstate 5 (1-5} freeway (east}, Laguna Street (north) and Chestnut Avenue (south), as part of the Phase 2 effort.
Staff identified almost 198 feet of red curb for removal. Additionally, removal of 24 feet of green curb (limited-time parking) that is no-longer needed due to redevelopment, restriping of 84 feet of on-street parallel parking spaces and striping of one diagonal parking space will contribute to the restoration of approximately 13 additional parking spaces. With these 13 identified parking spaces, approximately 28 parking spaces will be restored in the Village since the beginning of this year.
Next Steps
The proposed modifications will be issued as work orders, as shown in Attachment A, and are expected to be completed by April 2025.
