Item # /
Date: September 28, 1993
SUBJECT: Ordinance to Designate Bus Loading Zones on Duff Avenue by
Northwood School
BACKGROUND:
A request was received from Leland Himan, Northwood School Principal, to
designate a 60 foot bus loading zone on the south side of Duff Avenue,
east of the Kellogg Avenue intersection. Currently, this is the location
where school busses park for loading school children. However, problems
now exist since the loading activities in the zone aren't regulated. It's
reported that parents frequently use this location for dropping off chil-
dren, and it creates problems for busses that need to access this site.
By designating this location as a bus loading zone, the City will post bus
loading zone signage to ensure that the curb location will be exclusively
used as a bus loading zone from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. during school days. A
60' zone length is requested to accommodate one bus that typically loads at
this location. Attached is a diagram showing the location of this proposed
zone.
Staff has notified residents along the north side of Duff Avenue, adjacent
to this proposed zone about this measure. No concerns have been ex-
pressed about this bus loading zone. Also, the PTO president, Kris
Scheppler, has been informed and is supportive of the measure.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Designate a 60' foot "Bus Loading" zone from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on
school days, on the south side of Duff Avenue, east of the Kellogg
Avenue intersection.
2. Do nothing.
3. Modify the length and time period for the loading zone.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended by the City Manager that the City Council adopt alter-
native number 1 above, thereby directing the City Attorney to draft an
ordinance for designating a 60' foot "Bus Loading" zone from 8 a.m. to 5
p.m. on school days, on the south side of Duff Avenue, east of the
Kellogg Avenue intersection.
