Home My WebLink About20 - Assistance to Balboa Village Businesses & ResidentsCITY OF NEWPORT BEACH AGENDA ITEM NO. 20 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBF'THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: Homer L. Bludau, City Manager DATE: December 11, 2001 SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROPOSED ACTIONS TO ASSIST BALBOA VILLAGE BUSINESSES AND RESIDENTS DURING CONSTRUCTION OF IMPROVEMENTS Approve and implement staff recommendation. BACKGROUND: The Balboa Village Improvement construction project is the culmination of several years of resident and business input and City planning, with the goal of making the Village more attractive, functional and pedestrian friendly. The construction work began in November, and the trenching and replacement of sewer lines is causing a negative impact on parking in the area and access to Village businesses. RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: Based on conversations with Village merchants and a meeting with staff, the City Manager has authorized certain actions and requests City Council approval of other actions including the following: 1. We have initiated an "Opportunistic Parking Plan" in which our field personnel will be identifying parking opportunities as they appear on a daily basis.. The criteria for providing parking is: 1) safety — access to and from the spaces must be safe and passable for vehicles and pedestrians; 2) timeframe — the available parking must be available for minimum of one week to justify re- striping and special signing; and 3) project schedule — the parking cannot impede the normal schedule of work (i.e. do not allow parking if the area needs to be open to the contractor the next morning). City Hall 9 3300 Newport Boulevard • Post Office Box 1768 • Newport Beach, California 92659 -1768 Approval of Recommendations for Proposed Actions to Assist Balboa Village Businesses and Residents During Construction of Improvements Page 2 The best opportunities to improve parking will be upon completion of some phases of work (i.e. staff will open parking a block at a time as the curb is completed). 2. Our construction management staff will continue meeting with the business owners one on one at least once a week. Currently, Omar is visiting all businesses twice a week and the more impacted businesses daily and will continue as necessary to ensure good communications. 3. Temporary access signing will be made available during periods of heavy restriction. Marilee and ED are working on this. Currently, we are composing a sandwich board sign for the Balboa Market for the Boat Parade which we could continue to use. 4. We will be adding nine spaces in the vicinity of Main and Balboa (this week). 5. We will be adding two temporary 20 minute parking spaces (formerly red curb) on Main Street adjacent to the Post Office between the Post Office and the Balboa Pavilion on the east side of the street (same side as the Post Office). These spaces could be used by customers to the pharmacy as well. 6. We will re- stripe westbound Balboa at Main to provide a right turn only lane onto Main Street. This will allow us to reopen four spaces and a 20 minute loading zone adjacent to the Kite Store and former restaurant (future OCSD pump station site) between A Street and Main Street as well as improving traffic circulation for motorists coming from Peninsula Point to access the Post Office, pharmacy and other businesses on that end of Main Street. 7. We will be adding two temporary spaces along Main Street between the alley and Balboa Boulevard adjacent to the Orange Julius building. Since Balboa Boulevard is limited to one lane each way, the dual left turn from Main Street cannot be used. We will be utilizing the former second outbound lane for this parking. 8. Pulling or covering all of the meters and posting two hour parking, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. 9. City send a mailing to Balboa residents explaining the construction project and asking for their patronage of Village businesses. Approval of Recommendations for Proposed Actions to Assist Balboa Village Businesses and Residents During Construction of Improvements Page 3 These actions should help ease parking and business access issues in the area during construction, but will not eliminate them. There are going to be times when businesses and patrons will be adversely affected; staff will do its best to keep this to a minimum. Staff will be working with businesses on a daily basis to accommodate business and patron needs. The recommended actions will result in some loss of parking meter revenue during construction, particularly the bagging /pulling of parking meters within the Village. An attachment is provided with historical data to show meter revenue production by month and year.
