AGENDA ITEM: Staff Proposal to Make Richardson Lane aOne-Way Street
SUBMITTED BY: Rick Carper, Director of Public Worker G-
DATE: December 27, 2005
BACKGROUND: Richardson Lane is a one-block (~ 325 foot) twelve-foot wide
road running north from Donner Lane to Ardella Road.
Since 2003, Beaches Habitat has constructed 10 homes (six
single family and two duplexes) along this road. In addition,
Ardella Road has had one new home added. Traffic along
this road has become a hazard, causing lawn /landscaping
damage when vehicles are driven off the paved road to get
around parked cars.
Staff proposes to make Richardson Lane aone-way street,
southbound. This would allow southbound Mayport Road
traffic to make a protected u-turn at the Donner Road light.
All traffic from this area desiring to go south will have to use
the Donner Road or Dutton Island Road signalized
intersections to make a u-turn or turn onto Mayport Road.
Ardella Road will become a right turn in /out as a result of
the Mayport Road median construction.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize Staff to conduct informational meetings with
Residents to gage feelings about converting Richardson
~- Lane to a One-Way street.
ATTACHMENTS: Location Map.
BUDGET: No budget impacts. For informational purposes.

~`" TO: Residents on Richardson Lane
Residents on Ardella Road
Residents on Donner Road from Richardson Lane to Mayport Road
FROM: Rick Carper, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Richardson Lane
The City is considering changing the traffic flow patterns on Richardson Lane from two-way
traffic to a one-way southbound roadway.
Richardson Lane is a narrow roadway, and traffic and people parking alongside this road has
become a hazard and also contributes to lawn/landscaping damage when vehicles are driven off
the road to get around parked cars.
