BILL NUMBER:  AB 2586
  VETOED	DATE: 09/28/2016




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 2586 without my signature.

This bill requires local authorities to make parking spaces available
to motorists as soon as street sweeping or other maintenance
activities are completed.

During posted street sweeping hours, local agencies may provide
several types of services such as tree trimming, leaf removal and
utility maintenance. The current policy, which establishes a clear
restriction on parking during regular road maintenance, leaves no
gray area as to when motorists can park and provides agencies time to
complete their work. If enacted, this bill would add more confusion
for motorists who occupy spaces in the belief that they are available
when maintenance crews may still need to provide services in the
area. It would also hinder localities' ability to provide important
services to their residents.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
