CADA) for $1,213,829, utilizing the HOME Investment Partnerships American Rescue Plan Program (HOME-ARP) funds.

All Way Stop Request at Encinita Avenue and Pitkin Street At the May 1, 2025, Traffic Commission Meeting, staff presented recommendations and options for traffic improvements at the intersection of Encinita Avenue and Pitkin Street. After a thorough review of existing field and traffic conditions and per the guidelines in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, California Vehicle Code, 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, including, but not limited to, removing and replacing the non-functioning flashing pedestrian crossing signage with new high-intensity school crossing signage featuring flashing beacons and pedestrian crossing push buttons.   Recommendation: That the City Council authorize the approval of the Traffic Commission recommendations for traffic calming measures along Encinita Avenue between Lower Azusa Road and Rio Dell Street. 4 Rosemead City Council Regular Meeting Agenda September 23, 2025 E.
