DATE: March 13, 1990 County
SUBJECT: CONSIDER TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF MARINERS COVE DRIVE, WEST
PITTSBURG
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
Rgggj1�![ENDED A_ TC IONS Refer to the Transportation Committee
to consider at the earliest possible date a temporary closure of
Mariners Cove until such time as the Evora Road traffic study can be
completed. Direct the Public Works Department to collect input for
the Transportation Committee from the West Pittsburg Traffic Advisory
Committee, the West Pittsburg Municipal Advisory Council, County
Counsel, the California Highway Patrol, the Sheriff's Department and
the Fire Department and provide other information to the committee.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On June 6, 1989, the Board of
Supervisors acknowledged receipt of a Traffic Study and a petition
signed by residents in the Mariners Cove neighborhood of West
Pittsburg urging the closure of Mariners Cove Drive. The Board
directed the Public Works Department to review this request and
formulate a recommendation for the Board's consideration.
Prior to this, I toured the neighborhood with county staff
and met with these residents to hear directly some of their concerns .
I also observed firsthand some of the speeding problems in the area.
The decision for closing the road has been "on hold" for the
past several months until the Evora Road traffic study could be
studied. The county anticipates the Boeger Ranch. Development would
provide additional roads which would ease the traffic on Mariners
Cove. It now appears it will 'be even longer before the development is
completed the new traffic patterns are established. The residents
indicate the traffic problems are horrendous and warrants a temporary
closure.
An immediate review by appropriate agencies such as the
Highway Patrol, the Sheriff's Department and the Fire Department is
necessary to justify the need for this temporary closure and .to
ascertain the ramifications of such an action including the potential
impact on traffic in other neighborhoods.
