THRU: BOB LEDENDECKER, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEE R
FROM: MONDA BUCKLEY, ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT
SUBJECT: O.C,T.D. LAYOVER ZONE
FIRST STREET BETWEEN CENTENNIAL WAY AND NEWPORT AVENUE
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that Council defer further action until OCTD schedule changes
are implemented in September 1983. At that time, further observations could be
conducted to analyze impacts, if Council desires. It is further recommended that
the Police Department continue to strictly monitor and ticket those violating
parking code restrictions in the safety/clear zones.
BACKGROUND:
At Gouncil meeting of June 20, 1983, Council directed staff to conduct
observations of OCTD traffic on First Street between Centennial Way and Newport
Avenue. These observations were completed by Explorer. Scouts between Monday, June
27th and Saturday, July 2nd. The Explorers must be commended for a very good
overall job.
Each day during the aforementioned period, observations were conducted between
7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. except Friday, July 1st. Due to the illness of one of the
Scouts, observations on Friday were from 1:15 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. only. Data
collected on Wednesday, June 29th, between 7:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. is excluded in
the summary of observations due to what appears to be errors in some of the
timings.
The subsequent section of this report will summarize the results of the observa-
tions. For further detail, the appendix provides a total recap of the field
survey.
Staff met with OCTD representatives to discuss existing conditions on First Street
and the impacts of the September schedule changes. These changes should result in
an approximate 50 per -cent reduction of bus layovers (graphic illustrations
attached). A District representative will be at the July 18th meeting to answer
any questions Council might have.
SUMMARY OF OBSERVATIONS:
1. The number of buses on First Street ranged from 163 to 150 per day - average,
156.6 per day. NOTE: Observations for Wednesday, June 29; Friday, July 1;
Saturday, July 2 were deleted (Appendix A).
2. Thirty-five per cent of the buses pass thru only. Average layover (not for
driver break or meal period) eight minutes (Appendix B). NOTE: Less than 1
minute thru 3 minutes = pass thru; four minutes thru 15 minutes = layover;
sixteen minutes plus = break/meal period.

3. Violations of parking in the safety/clear zones ranged from 43 occurances per
day to four occurances per day. NOTE: It appears that the number of buses
parking in the safety/clear zone decreased significantly once drivers were
aware that they were being observed. OCTD representatives have been advised
of the situation (Appendix C).
4. Observations indicate a maximum of nine buses "standing" at any one time.
5. Observed, but not noted - buses occassionally stopping in the #2 traffic lane
and blocking thru traffic.
Staff conducted a separate field survey to determine any vacant land parcels
within a three mile radius of Larwin Square that might be used for bus layovers.
Thirty-two sites were located. Appendix D lists the sites in one, two, and three
mile radii. Some sites would require improvements such as driveway installation,
widening of existing driveway, or paving.
