SUBJECT: A Resolution of the City of Poway, California,, Removing a
Bus Loading Zone along the south side of Cynthia Lane east
of Midland Road
Summary:
The City has received a request to remove the Bus Loading Zone and associated "No
Parking" sign and curb marking along the south side of Cynthia Lane east of Midland
Road, adjacent to the Midland Professional Center. The Bus Loading Zone was
established by City Council Resolution, No. 96 -120 based upon a request by the Poway
Unified School District (PUSD) in 1996. This Bus Loading Zone is no longer necessary.
Recommended Action:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution (Attachment A)
removing the Bus Loading Zone, rescinding Resolution No. 96 -120 and direct staff to
remove the "No Parking" sign and approximately 90 feet of red curb marking associated
with the Bus Loading Zone.
Background:
In 1996 the City received a request from PUSD to install a Bus Loading Zone and
associated "No Parking" sign and red curb marking along the south side of Cynthia Lane
east of Midland Road, next to the Midland Professional Center. The request was made
to accommodate school busses dropping off and picking up Special Education students,
at various times of day, for the Special Education Transition Program which was housed
in the Midland Professional Center. The request was approved by the Traffic Safety
Committee and the City Council adopted Resolution No. 96 -120 (Attachment B), which
established the Bus Loading Zone. Attachment C depicts the Bus Loading Zone
established by Resolution No. 96 -120.
In the spring, City staff received a request to remove the Bus Loading Zone by an
adjacent property owner.

Findings:
City staff met with PUSD representatives, Tim Purvis and Terri Ambrezewicz, to discuss
the request to remove the Bus Loading Zone. Mr. Purvis indicated that the Special
Education Transition Program is no longer housed in the Midland Professional Center.
It was agreed that the Bus Loading Zone and associated "No Parking" sign and red curb
marking are no longer needed and should be removed to allow for additional on- street
parking. Staff also contacted the management for the Midland Professional Center
regarding the Bus Loading Zone. They indicated that they have no issue with its
removal.
Although Cynthia Lane is a private street, staff recommends the City remove the Bus
Loading Zone, since the City installed it.
The proposed Resolution will remove the Bus Loading Zone and associated "No
Parking" sign along with approximately 90 feet of red curb marking established by
Resolution No. 96 -120.
This item was discussed at the Traffic Safety Committee meeting of August 13, 2014.
The Committee, which includes a representative from the Poway Unified School District
and the Sheriffs Department, concurred with staff's recommendation to remove the Bus
Loading Zone.
Fiscal Impact:
There are sufficient funds available in account number 0407 -4330 for the estimated
$200 curb painting costs.
Environmental Review:
This action is not subject to review under the 2014 California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) Guidelines.
Public Notification:
A copy of this report was sent to Terri Ambrezewicz, Transportation Manager, Poway
Unified School District.
