City of RE 7.1.D. - Page 56 <br /> 3.2.7 Trash Management Area #6 <br /> Trash Management Area#6 (TMA#6) includes almost entirely low trash generation areas within <br /> the City that are not included in any other trash management area.Visual on-land assessments <br /> conducted by City staff within TMA#6 indicate that approximately 4% of the jurisdictional area is <br /> considered as a medium trash generating area and 96%as low trash generating area.The area <br /> covers approximately 7,232 acres (approximately 79 % of the City's jurisdictional area) and is <br /> comprised of some commercial, retail,industrial land uses and mostly residential neighborhoods. <br /> TMA#6 includes residents,parks, churches and schools located sporadically within the western <br /> portion of the City,some industrial and commercial areas east of US Highway 101 and all of <br /> Redwood Shores. Street sweeping is conducted once/month. Full-capture devices have not been <br /> installed within TMA#6. On-land cleanups are conducted at schools,parks and several through <br /> fares within Redwood Shores.The entire area benefits from jurisdictional-wide efforts which <br /> include single-use carryout bag and polystyrene foam food service ware policies,and public <br /> outreach and education programs.This area is the City's lowest priority due to having almost <br /> entirely low trash generation rate. Current trash generation rates may be high in some areas of <br /> TMA#6.To refine current trash generation rates,the City will conduct additional on-land visual <br /> assessments to accurately depict trash generation rates. <br /> •STREET SWEEPING <br /> Implemented Prior to and Continued After MRP Effective Date: <br /> • All streets with retail, commercial and industrial land uses within TMA#6 are swept <br /> once/month between the hours of 4:00 a.m.to 6:00 a.m. Residential areas are swept <br /> once/month between 7:30 am and 2:00 pm. <br /> • All streets within TMA#6 are not posted with"No Parking- Street Cleaning"signs to <br /> prohibit parking during sweeping hours. In areas where sweeping is conducted between <br /> the hours of 4:00 a.m.and 6:00 a.m., cars are consistently not present when sweeping is <br /> conducted.As a result,sweeping practices are effective since the sweeper is reaching the <br /> curb.The presence of cars within residential areas is highly variable depending on when <br /> sweeping is conducted within the 7:30 a.m.to 2:00 p.m.time window. However,it is <br /> important to note that residential streets in TMA#6 have been assigned a low trash <br /> generation rate. <br /> • Arterial roads in Redwood Shores are either red-curbed,too narrow for parking, or an <br /> active lane of traffic.As a result,the City is achieving a parking enforcement equivalent. <br /> Therefore,sweeping practices are effective since the sweeper is reaching the curb. <br /> Implemented after MRP Effective Date and Prior to July 1,2014: <br /> • No additional street sweeping was implemented within TMA#6 during this time period. <br /> • Updated the"Street Sweeping"webpage on the City's website.This webpage provides the <br /> street sweeping frequency by residential area within the City. Residents may view a list of <br /> streets within a residential area to determine when their street is swept.The webpage is <br /> available at: http://www.redwoodcity.org/publicworks/streets/street cleaning.htm. <br /> Planned for Future Implementation between July 2014 and July 2022: <br /> • The City does not plan to increase street sweeping frequency within TMA#6 during this <br /> time period. However,the City plans to evaluate the following for potential <br /> 48 <br />
