3. NEW BUSINESS
A. Introduction of Newly Hired City Engineer, Romany Basilyous
B. All-Way Stop Request at the Intersection of Encinita Avenue and Pitkin Street
SUMMARY
The City of Rosemead has received a resident request regarding the installation of an all-way stop at the
intersection of Encinita Avenue and Pitkin Street. The resident expressed concerns for pedestrians crossing
the existing uncontrolled crosswalk on the north leg of Encinita Avenue at Pitkin Street, and stated that there
is not enough visibility for vehicles and pedestrians in the area. The resident also expressed concern regarding
the flashing pedestrian crossing signage, and stated that not all of the lights are functioning at the intersection.
The resident also stated that at night it is difficult to see in this area along Encinita Avenue, and expressed
that residents feel unsafe to cross due to the lights not functioning at the crosswalk. In response to this request
and on behalf of the City, engineering staff completed a traffic review to determine if an all-way stop was
warranted to be installed at the intersection of Encinita Avenue and Pitkin Street, and recommended
appropriate measures.
After a thorough review of existing field and traffic conditions and per the guidelines in the California Manual
on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CAMUTCD), California Vehicle Code (CVC), and based on engineering
judgement, it was determined that the intersection of Encinita Avenue and Pitkin Street does not meet the
requirements for the installation of an all-way stop. There was not enough vehicular traffic traveling through
the area, as well as a low number of collisions over the last 3 -year period. However, it was determined that
this area along Encinita Avenue and Pitkin Street would benefit from the installation of other traffic calming
measures.
CEQA: Not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act.

b. It is important to note that parking is allowed along Encinita Avenue north of the location
where red curb would be installed. Installing red curb along this stretch of curb will not
affect parking for residents living in the area, as there is plenty of parking north and east
of the intersection.
