This question already has an answer here:

Is it possible to use Copy Parallel tool in a python script or in modelbuilder for ArcGIS 10.2? Does anyone have a workaround or script for a tool that essential does the same thing as Copy Parallel. I have a modelbuilder model that needs to copy parallel lines from a street centerline shapefile, buffering will not work in this case.

I do not think "Copy Parallel" is accesible via ArcPy or Model-Builder, using ArcObjects is a possibility.

A possible work around would be to buffer your line features, then use the "Feature to Line" tool.

thanks for the response. In this case using the buffer and feature to line tools don't get me the result I need. –  bailey Aug 25 '14 at 18:14
