A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDDING
PERMANENTLY CLOSING A PORTION OF RIVERSIDE DRIVE FROM
CENTER STREET TO COURT STREET TO VEHICULAR TRAFFIC
EXCEPT FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES
WHEREAS:
A. On May 1, 2018, after consideration of public comment and design alternatives, City
Council authorized the closure of a portion of Riverside Drive to vehicular traffic for the
construction of the Diestelhorst to Downtown Non-Motorized Improvement Project at the
time of construction commencement; and
B. On January 15, 2019, City Council adopted the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND)
and the Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) and approved the Diestelhorst to
Downtown Non-Motorized Improvement Project, thereby satisfying the requirements of
the California Environmental Quality Act §15074 (CEQA); and
C. This section of Riverside Drive shall be reserved for a two way cycle track and a separated
path for pedestrian use; and
D. Section 21101 of the California Vehicle Code authorizes City Council to close a street to
vehicular traffic by resolution when the street is no longer needed for vehicular traffic;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL DETERMINES, RESOLVES, AND
ORDERS AS FOLLOWS:
1. The above recitals are true, correct and adopted herein as findings of fact.
2. Riverside Drive from North Court Street to the Westerly entrance of 980 Center Street is
no longer needed for vehicular traffic due, in part, to alternative street access to the
impacted area and the closure is needed in order to provide for alternative non-motorized
means of travel.
3. Riverside Drive from North Court Street to the Westerly entrance of 980 Center Street is
hereby ordered permanently closed to all motorized vehicles except for emergency
services.
