SAFETY COMMISSION AGENDA STATEMENT
Item _ 1__ Meeting Date 3/12/26 ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION OF THE TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA ESTABLISH 1-HOUR
TIME-LIMITED PARKING ALONG THE WEST AND EAST SIDES OF
METRO AVENUE FROM STYLUS STREET TO OPTIMA STREET AND ACCORDINGLY AMEND SCHEDULE VI OF THE REGISTER MAINTAINED IN THE OFFICE OF THE CITY ENGINEER
SUBMITTED BY: Principal Traffic Engineer
A business owner requested that a 1-hour time-limited parking restriction along the west and east sides of Metro Avenue from Stylus Street to Optima Street, be installed and provided signatures of support from the majority of businesses fronting this portion of Metro Avenue. (See Attachment
1, Location Map).
RECOMMENDATION: That the Traffic Safety Commission adopt the resolution and recommend that City Council install a 1-hour time-limited parking along the west and east sides of Metro Avenue from Stylus Street to Optima Street from 8:00AM to 6:00PM, to delegate
authority for amending the time period of the time limited restriction, as needed based on
subsequent observations to the City Traffic Engineer, and to amend Schedule VI of the Register of Schedules maintained in the Office of the City Engineer. DISCUSSION:
Metro Avenue from Stylus Street to Optima Street (“the Segment”) is a Modified 2-Lane Core/Promenade roadway, generally 64 feet wide from curb to curb and approximately 850 feet in length from Stylus Street to Optima Street. The Segment is fronted by mixed-use buildings with ground floor commercial space. The 91 existing on-street angled public parking spaces are
currently unrestricted.
Traffic Engineering staff received a request from a business owner along the Segment to implement time-limited parking along the Segment. The business owner obtained signatures of support from nearly all fronting businesses along the segment including staff from the Avalyn
residential complex leasing office and the management of the Homeowner’s Association. Traffic
Engineering staff verified the signatures and also confirmed that the on-street parking spaces are consistently occupied during normal business hours. Therefore, Staff recommends that the Traffic Safety Commission adopt the resolution and
recommend that the City Council pending approval by the Millenia Parking District Council or
designees allow the 1-hour time-limited parking along the west and east sides of the Segment from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM and amend Schedules VI of the Register of Schedules, which is maintained by the Office of the City Engineer. Staff also recommends that the City Traffic Engineer be

signs is nominal. Installation by the City’s Public Works Signage and Striping crew is funded by the available balance of budgeted Capital Improvement Projects such as the Signage and Striping and Neighborhood Safety Programs. Attachments:
