San Fernando commission approves plan to install 'no overnight commercial vehicle' signs at six locations
Summary
The Transportation and Public Safety Commission supported installing 'no overnight commercial vehicle parking' signs on six streets to address overnight semi-truck and camper parking; Public Works will install signs and San Fernando PD will enforce the restrictions, staff said.
The Transportation and Public Safety Commission signaled support to install 'no overnight commercial vehicle parking' signs at six locations where semi-trucks and campers have been parking overnight. City staff said they had contacted affected businesses and property owners and that the businesses generally supported installing the signage so the San Fernando Police Department could enforce overnight restrictions.
"The signs will be put up, probably, within, 2 to 4 weeks," the city engineer said, and staff indicated Public Works will install the signs and San Fernando PD will carry out enforcement. Staff identified the six locations for new or replacement signage to include Fox Street, the library area, Parkside Drive, 8th Street and Arroyo; staff also said some signs on Arroyo are faded and many are missing. The commission agreed by consensus to move forward; staff said existing budget funds cover the expense.
Commissioners asked how exceptions for businesses that operate at night would be handled. Police staff and parking enforcement officers said certain businesses could apply for permits through the city’s parking permit program. The chair asked staff to return with any additional locations identified by patrol officers and public works, and staff agreed to follow up.
