This bill would authorize the City of Long Beach to implement a pilot program to permit vehicles to park on the left-hand side of the roadway parallel to and within 18 inches of the left-hand curb on certain two-way local residential streets that dead-end with no designated area in which to turn around provided that the city makes a finding, supported by a professional engineering study, that the ordinance or resolution is justified by the need to facilitate the safe and orderly movement of vehicles, and the applicable streets are demarcated with signs or markings giving adequate notice of the parking allowances. The bill would require the city to submit to the Legislature, 2 years from the date of the enactment of the local ordinance or resolution that establishes the pilot program, a report that outlines the advantages and disadvantages of the pilot program. The bill would terminate the pilot program 3 years from the date of enactment of the ordinance or resolution that establishes the pilot program.
