SUBJECT: June 21, 1988 IVW�r@
TRUCK STOP PARKING IN THE COUNTY
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
In the interest of public safety, the Board of Supervisors
requests the County Administrator' s office review the need
for truck stops in Contra Costa County with the California
Highway Patrol and the Contra Costa Sheriff ' s Department.
That a recommendation be made as to where these stops should
be located in the Central corridor and West end of the
county.
BACKGROUND:
Big rigs are using our streets and neighborhoods as parking
lots for truck stops, leaving the big trailers parked for
days; keeping refrigeration units running for hours, trading
loads.
West County recently experienced a truck leaking a potential
hazardous material while parked in a shopping lot. This was
not with the owners permission. Adding to the risk, was the
problem of private property - not under the jurisdiction of
the Sheriff ' s Department- or the California Highway Patrol.
It was brought out that there were no truck stops available
anywhere near where the driver lived. Therefore, he parked
his rig in an area convenient to him, but a potential hazard
to the residents.
