COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brett Fulgoni, Director of Public Works
DATE: May 5, 2026
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Approving a Proposed Establishment of a No Stopping Zone on Alvin Avenue
Description:
The City Council will consider adopting a Resolution establishing a no stopping zone at the northwest corner of Alvin Avenue and North Railroad Avenue to maintain clear access for City maintenance crews servicing nearby electrical cabinets.
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution establishing a no stopping zone on Alvin Avenue at North Railroad Avenue.
BACKGROUND:
A request was received from City Operations staff to install approximately 40 feet of red curb at the northwest corner of Alvin Avenue and North Railroad Avenue. Vehicles parking in this area have created access challenges for maintenance crews attempting to service nearby electrical cabinets and perform routine work. The request proposes establishing a no stopping zone through red curb installation to maintain clear access for service vehicles and improve operational safety.
DISCUSSION:
Per City Council Resolution No. 2061 and CAM 63 -15, a Traffic Committee was formed to "be responsible for the review, approval or denial, and recommendations to C ity Council on all matters and requests relating to traffic circulation and safety within the public right-of-way." The Traffic Committee has reviewed the request for a no stopping zone and recommends its establishment. The City Council has the authority t o locate, establish, or eliminate no stopping zones within the City.
2 The no stopping zone recommended to be established is described as follows:
Alvin Avenue, along the northerly curb face, at the northwest corner of the Alvin Avenue and North Railroad Avenue intersection, extending approximately 40 linear feet westerly.
Alternative(s)
The alternative to the recommended action would be to not approve the establishment of the no stopping zone.
Fiscal Considerations
The Public Works Department will be responsible for painting the red curb. Staff has estimated the cost to be approximately $400 in staff time and materials.
Impact on the Community
Approximately two on-street parking spaces will be removed to maintain clear access for City Operations maintenance crews servicing the electrical infrastructure at this location.
