BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Since reconstruction of Lodi Lake Park, parking along Laurel Avenue has become more challenging, which has encouraged folks to park cars along the portion of Laurel that is only 14 feet wide. The addition of parked vehicles along this section of roadway has created challenges for residents that live on Laurel Avenue and public safety responders.
Laurel Avenue, north of Turner Road, is fronted by Lodi Lake to the west and residential homes to the east. It is a 40-foot wide public roadway with on-street parking and sidewalks along both sides. A partial cul-de-sac is located approximately 340 feet north of Turner Road where vehicles can turn around as the street begins to narrow to a 14-foot wide roadway section without sidewalk at 1026/1032 Laurel Avenue. Laurel Avenue terminates at 1040/1046 Laurel Avenue where it becomes a 14-foot wide private street (Exhibit A).
Currently, parking is restricted between 9 PM and 6 AM on both sides of Laurel Avenue between Turner Road and 1026/1032 Laurel Avenue. No parking also currently exists along the west side of the partial cul-de-sac and terminates at 1026/1032 Laurel Avenue where the roadway starts to narrow. The proposed, additional parking restrictions, if approved, will reduce parking congestion and improve public safety access for homes that front along the narrow section of Laurel Avenue.
