COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: SNOW ROUTE DESIGNATIONS ON EMERALD DRIVE FROM GARDEN
ROAD TO KEN MARIL
BACKGROUND:
City crews have had difficulty removing snow along Emerald Drive from Garden Road
to Ken Maril Road due to the presence of parked vehicles. When parking is present
after snowfalls, accumulations remain near these vehicles and contribute to hazardous
conditions for vehicular and bus traffic. This problem is alleviated on streets designated
as snow routes, since vehicles are moved when the street is plowed. With this
designation, vehicles must be moved only when a "snow emergency" is declared, and
until the street is cleared.
Emerald Drive should also be designated as a snow route since it is used as a Cy-Ride
route. Typically, all streets with bus routes have been designated as snow routes to
ensure bus service. Currently, the section of Emerald Drive from Jewel Drive to Garden
Road has been designated as a "Snow Route". However, the section between Garden
Road and Ken Maril Road has not been designated. By including the remainder of
Emerald Drive, the entire section will be designated as a snow route.
Staff has notified the residents along Emerald Drive about this measure. No concerns
have been received from these residents.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Designate a snow route along Emerald Drive from Garden Road to Ken Maril
Road.
2. Do nothing.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt alternative
number 1, thereby directing the City Attorney to draft an ordinance designating a snow
route along Emerald Drive from Garden Road to Ken Maril Road
