SUBJECT: ADDITION OF GOLF CART LANES ON COUNTRY CLUB DRIVE AND COOK
STREET
DATE: March 10, 1994
RECOMMENDATION:
By minute motion, approve:
(1) the installation of golf cart lanes on Country Club Drive between Cook Street
and Oasis Club Drive by removing curb-side parking;
(2) the use of a golf cart route in the existing bike lanes on Cook Street from
Fred Waring Drive to Country Club Drive.
(3) Extend the golf cart lanes along Country Club Drive from Cook Street to
Desert Springs Drive once the area's roadway construction is completed.
BACKGROUND:
Staff received a request for the expansion of golf cart lanes to include and connect
Country Club Drive and Cook Street to the rest of the city. Staff has studied the
concept and sees the merit in the expansion of the golf cart program. By
eliminating the parking along Country Club Drive between Cook Street and Oasis
Club Drive, golf cart/bike lanes can be installed. Elimination of parking along
Country Club Drive is not expected to create adverse impact in serving the area's
parking needs. Adjacent streets as well as the neighboring country clubs can
provide parking for any events that may be held.
Cook Street currently provides bike lanes from Fred Waring Drive to Country Club
Drive. Curb-side parking has been eliminated to provide bike lanes. By installing
golf cart signage, the bike lanes could also be used to accommodate golf carts.
Public Works staff recommends:
(1) the installation of golf cart lanes on Country Club Drive from Cook Street to
Oasis Club Drive with the inclusion of golf cart lanes on Country Club Drive
from Cook Street to Desert Springs Drive upon completion of construction and
(2) the use of a golf cart route in the existing bike lane on Cook Street from
Fred Waring Drive to Country Club Drive.
(3) Extend the golf cart lanes along Country Club Drive from Cook Street to
Desert Springs Drive once the area's roadway construction is completed.
