ESTABLISHMENT OF CURBSIDE BUS STOP ZONES
A. Requests Involving the Elimination of On- Street Parking
Due to the limited amount of available curbside parking in the older
neighborhoods of the City of Newport Beach, the elimination of
onstreet vehicle parking spaces for the establishment of bus stop zones
shall be recommended by the Traffic Affairs Committee for City
Council approval and implementation by the Traffic Engineer only if a
majority of the following criteria is met:
1. The District has demonstrated significant patronage in the
vicinity of the proposed stop or has marketing data to indicate
that neighborhood patronage would increase if a more
convenient stop were available.
2. The proposed stop would serve a significant number of citizens
who would be convenienced by a direct curbside bus entrance
or exit
3. There are unusual traffic safety hazards in the vicinity of the
proposed stop which make a direct curbside stop desirable.
4. It would be unsafe for the bus to be stopped in the street
travelway to accept or disembark passengers.
5. The establishment of the stop would not unreasonably displace
essential curbside parking for an adjacent business or
residential district
6. Elimination of curbside parking spaces by establishment of a
stop would result in additional public benefits such as, but not
limited to, improved site distances, ease of street cleaning,
improved pedestrian safety or elimination of "loitering" parking
nuisances.
B. Requests Not Involving Elimination of On- Street Parking or
Hazardous Locations
1. Traffic Engineer will review and install in accordance with
Section 12.48.100 of the Municipal Code entitled Bus Zones (see
attached).
C. Temporary Bus Zones Not Exceeding Ninety Days Duration
