The Redevelopment Agency voted 5-0 on ApriJ _, ~~o~, to recommend
- to the City Council that Center Street be made one way with
diagonal parking between Third Avenue and Del Mar Avenue to
increase parking supply in the downtown area. Although this
action can be accomplished by Trial Traffic Regulation, the City
Attorney suggested that a Public Hearing be held to receive any
public input on this matter. It is my
.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council conduct a public hearing
and approve the resolution designating Center Street as a one-way
street (eastbound) between Third Avenue and Del Mar Avenue.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDA'rION: N/A
DISCUSSION:
"
The public hearing has been advertised in the Star News and all
property owners and/or residents within 300 feet of~he project
have been notified.
..
The Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency has requested that Center
Street be made one way with diagonal parking to increase the
parking supply in the downtown area.
..
The volume of traffic presently using Center Street is
approximately 840 vehicles/day. The necessary rerouting of 1/2
of these trips will have an insignificant impact on the downtown
circulation system and result in a slight increase in vehicle
miles travelled (~1~).

The number of spaces after Third Avenue is rebuilt reflect the
construction of nodes on the east side of the street at Center
Street and at Madrona Street and the removal of the existing bus
stop on the northeast corner of Third Avenue/Center Street.
(Note: both San Diego Transit and Chula Vista Transit have been
contacted and have no objection to the removal of the bus stop.)
Center Street can be converted to one way with 600 diagonal
parking on one side of the street within the existing curb to
cur b wi d th ( 4 0 ft.).
I recommend that Center Street be made one way in an eastbound
direction. This would facilitate traffic flow from Third Avenue
for motorists seeking additional parking. In addition, the
existing median opening on Third Avenue could more easily be
closed or modified in the future (dependent on specific
development on the west side of Third Avenue).
GRH:nr/
FISCAL IMPACT: This modification will be done in conjunction
with the Third Avenue ("F" to "G" Streets) beautification
proj ec t. The es t i mated co st (s ig ns, mete r re ~t.lnO....._e.~.},~i s
