Item 2
Request to Remove Bike Lane and Parking Restriction - Harveston Way
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Public/Traffic Safety Commission deny the request for removal of the existing bike lane and parking
restriction along Harveston Way adjacent to Ysabel Bamett Elementary School.
BACKGROUND:
In June 2003, Staff received a request from the Temecula Valley Unified School District to consider the
feasibility of removing/modifying the existing bike lane and parking restriction along Harveston Way, in front
of Ysabel Barnett Elementary School to allow for additional on-street parking. The public has been notified of
the Public/Traffic Safety Commission's consideration of this matter through the agenda notification process.
In 2001, the City Council approved the Specific Plan for the Harveston Development. The adopted Specific
Plan included a Circulation Element that established roadway widths, lane configuration and a master plan of
bikeways for the development. Harveston Wayis identified as a 44 foot wide residential collector roadway on
the development's Specific Plan with a 12 foot wide travel lane in each direction, a 10 foot wide continuous
two-way left-turn lane, and a 5 foot wide Class II (striped) Bike Lane on each side of the street. Harveston
Way is a circular loop road that traverses the development and provides access to Margarita Road, Date Street,
Ynez Road and Harveston's lake and recreational facilities. The Class II Bike Lane is a key component of the
development's pedestrian oriented village concept providing access between residential uses and commercial
and recreational uses. The bike lane also provides continuity between the development's proposed recreational
facilities and adjacent regional facilities.
Because the Harveston Way bike lane is identified on the development's Specific Plan and Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) and is part of a comprehensive circulation plan, which was approved by both the Planning
Commission and City Council, any modification or partial removal of the bike lane would require an
amendment to the Specific Plan and subsequent approval by the Planning Commission and the City Council.
In the past, the Commission has considered similar requests to remove bike lanes or portions of bike lanes on
roadways such as Pio Pico Road (Sparkman Elementary School), Amarita Way (Paloma Elementary School)
and Temeku Drive to accommodate additional on-street parking during specific periods of time. The
Commission denied each of the requests on the basis that the removal of the bike lane would disrupt the
continuity of the City's Master Plan of Bikeways, compromise the safety of the bicyclists, potentially set
r:\U a ~e~coran~ssn~a gendaX2003\0626~ikelaneremoval~ajp
precedem for future bike lane removals to accommodate on-street parking and decrease available roadway
width necessary for travel lanes. In this case, if the bike lane and parking restriction were removed, Harveston
Way would not be wide enough to accommodate the necessary travel lanes, the two-way left turn lane and on-
street parking. For these reasons, staff cannot support the request to remove or modify the bike lane and
parking restriction.
As an alternative, the school district suggested closing the bike lane and allowing on-street parking during
certain hours of the day and during periodic events. Again, the roadway is not wide enough to accommodate
any type of on-street parking. Allowing on-street parking on a temporary basis would compromise the safety of
both bicyclists and motorist. Therefore, this alternative is not feasible.
For the reasons stated, staff is recommending denial of the request to remove the bike lane and parking
restriction on Harveston Way in front of Ysabel Barnett Elementary School.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.

RE: Ysabel Barnett Elementary School On-street Parking/Bike Lane Proposal
Dear Ali:
Following requests from the Barnett Elementary School Principal and discussions with Ron Parks, I am
requesting that you review the following proposal we feel is needed to ensure traffic safety at the school.
We request that parking be permitted along the roads directly adjacent to school's east and south property
lines (see attached aerial photograph), primarily during student drop-off and pick-up times (typically 30
minutes each), and during special school events which may occur several times per year. At all other
times, the on-site parking at the school is sufficient for the school's operation, because the 106 on-site
parking spaces are more than double the number of the school's staff, leaving ample spare spaces for
parent volunteers and other visitors.
While Barnett Elementary has the most on-site parking spaces and lowest number of students per parking
space ratio of all 12 District elementary schools, it is the only school where on-street parking adjacent to
the school is prohibited at all times. This is apparently because the roads adjacent to the school contain
bike lanes. We propose that the bike lane and the no parking signs be removed directly adjacent to the
school, on the school side of the road only. As an alternative, the bike lane and no parking signs could
remain and include qualifiers allowing parking and closing the bike lane during the daily drop-off and
pick-up times and during the periodic special events.
Please consider this proposal for review and approval at an upcoming Traffic Safety Commission
Meeting. Please contact me at (909) 506-7914 with any questions and comments you may have, and thank
you for your continued support for traffic safety around our school sites.

Handicap Parking Violation Enforcement - Citywide
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Public/Traffic Safety Commission receive the report and presentation and provide further direction.
BACKGROUND:
Public/Traffic Safety Commission Chairman Connerton requested that this item be placed on the agenda for
evaluation of the City's enforcement of handicap parking violations. The public has been notified of the
Public/Traffic Safety Commission's consideration of this matter through the agenda notification process.
Currently, enforcement of handicap parking violations is in accordance with Section 22507.8 of the Califomia
Vehicle Code (CVC) and is primahly the responsibility of the Police Department's Community Services
Officers (CSO) who enforce citywide parking violations.
Lt. Pingle of the Temecula Police Department will provide a brief presentation on the department's policy for
the enforcement of handicap parking.
FISCAL IMPACT:

Item 4
Parking Restriction Westside Business Park
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Public/Traffic Safety Commission receive and file the report.
BACKGROUND:
At the meeting of May 22, 2003, the Public/Traffic Safety Commission requested that staff further investigate
this issue and present the results of the investigation within sixty (60) days. The public has been notified of the
Public/Traffic Safety Commission's consideration of this matter through the agenda notification process.
In 2002, Southwest Traders, Inc. located on Diaz Road, which is a supplier to ice cream and smoothie shops,
constructed soccer fields on a property leased from Rancho California Water District (RCWD) for use by the
Southwest Soccer Association. The fields are used for intramural soccer tournaments which occur
approximately four (4) times per year for a period of two (2) to three (3) days per each event. In order to
accommodate event parking on-site, the association leases the city owned property and charges the attendees a
nonfinal parking fee to offset the lease costs.
The next tournament is scheduled for August 2003. However, it is likely that this will be the last tournament
that will utilize the City's property for parking. The City is considering selling the property for construction of
a college/university campus.
Currently, there are parking restrictions along both sides of Diaz Road from Dendy Parkway to Winchester
Road. On Dendy Parkway, on-street parking is available on both sides of the roadway from Diaz Road to
Winchester Road. This segment is approximately one-half (1/2) mile in length and can provide a total of
approximately 210 parking spaces along both sides of the roadway. Since on-street parking is not restricted
along Dendy Parkway, those attendees that do not wish to pay for parking could utilize the existing on-street
parking during the events. Therefore, staffdoes not recommend any changes to the existing conditions.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.

to Diaz Road, which includes a new bridge over Murrieta Creek. The project includes the widening
of Overland Drive from Jefferson Avenue to Commerce Center Drive, and the extension of Overland
Drive across Murrieta Creek to Diaz Road. PDC has completed the alignment study and staff has
reviewed copies of the preliminary plans. Staff has reviewed design costs for next year's fiscal
funding. No funding until FY04-05.
5. Alignment Study for Murrieta Creek Bridge Between Winchester Road and Temecula City
Limits and Diaz Road Extension
This study will determine the alignment and location of the Murrieta Creek crossing between
Winchester Road and the northern City Limits. In addition, the study will be combined with the Diaz
Road Extension alignment study and design. Coordination with the City of Murrieta, Riverside
County Flood Control and Army Corps of Engineers is necessary. The Consultant and Staff met
with Riverside County Flood Control to discuss possible alignments. The consultant is currently
awaiting data from Riverside County Flood Control in order to complete the work on the first draft of
the alignment study. Staff was informed this data could take up to a year to receive (from May
2002).
