Speaking before the Commission was:
Dolly Leong
9554 E. Ralph Street
Rosemead, California 91770

Drive and Earle Avenue is very dangerous. She has witnessed
two accidents at this location. She would like staff to
review the accident reports and see what can be done at this
intersection.
Ms. Leong wanted the Commission to recognize Judy Thompson of
the California Christian Home who helped the child out of the

B. REQUEST FOR LEFT TURN ACCESS TO "PARK MONTEREY" MOBILE
HOME PARK ON GARVEY AVENUE IN THE VICINITY OF DEQUINE
AVENUE
Deputy Traffic Engineer Turnbull stated that this request came
from Helen Guarno, Manager of Park Monterey, to remove the
landscaped median to provide better eastbound left turn
access. He also discussed the 4 alternatives offered to the
residents.
Chairperson Knapp stated that the City staff held a meeting
with the residents of "Park Monterey" Mobile Home Park, prior
to the Traffic Commission meeting tonight, to discuss various
alternatives to the problems they are experiencing at this
location.
Everyone was in agreement that alternative 3 would be the best
choice. Alternative 3 would extend the two -way left turn
striping across the Dequine Avenue intersection opening. This
alternative would provide an area within the intersection for
vehicles to wait for opposing traffic to clear. This
alternative, however, still presents difficulties for
eastbound left turning traffic due to the location of the
driveway and the raised median. The construction cost to
implement this remedial measures is approximately $ 400.00.
In addition, it was recommended that No U -turn signs be
installed on the median and red curb be installed east of the
driveway, to increase visibility, exiting the site.
Staff also agreed to have selective enforcement at this
location and start citing violators.
Chairperson Knapp recommended that the residents contact their
landlord to widen the driveway into the Mobile Home Park.
Commissioner Ruiz wanted to make sure that the property owner
had been informed of the City's recommendation.
It was moved by Commissioner Larson, seconded by Commissioner
Tirre, and carried unanimously to go with alternative 3, with
the addition of the red curbing and the "No U- turn" signage.
C. REQUEST FOR RED CURB ON MISSION DRIVE AT VALLEY
BOULEVARD
Deputy Traffic Engineer Turnbull stated that this request came
from the Traffic Commission, to install red curb on Mission
Drive near the intersection of Valley Boulevard. The request
is made for the area just north of Valley Boulevard in front
of the Mission Valley Liquor Store blocking the right turn
pocket at the intersection.
Based on the current no parking restrictions, by way of the
vehicle code, and the fact that this no parking condition is
not readily apparent, 55 feet of red curb is proposed for
Mission Drive north of the Valley Boulevard intersection.
Commissioner Larson recommended a letter be sent to the
business owner informing them as to why the City is painting
the curb red.
Commissioner Ruiz asked if a "No Stopping Anytime" sign could
be installed.
It was moved by Commissioner Ruiz, seconded by Commissioner
Knapp and carried unanimously to approve the Traffic
Engineer's recommendation, with the addition of the "No
Stopping Anytime" sign.

ROSEMEAD TRAFFIC COMMISSION
FROM: CHRIS TURNBULL
ACTING DEPUTY TRAFFIC ENGINEER
DATE: OCTOBER 9,1996
RE: REQUEST FOR LEFT -TURN PHASING ON WALNUT GROVE
AVENUE AT MISSION DRIVE
REQUEST
A request was received through the City Managers Office for the installation of left -
turn signal phasing on Walnut Grove Avenue at Mission Drive.
Walnut Grove Avenue is a 64 -foot wide north -south roadway with two lanes of traffic
provided in each direction. Left -turn pockets are also provided on each approach
of the intersection. The posted speed limit on Walnut Grove Avenue is 40 mph.
Parking is prohibited along both sides of Walnut Grove Avenue.
Mission Drive is a 64 feet wide east -west street that provides two lanes of traffic in
each direction. Left -turn pockets are also provided on each approach of the
intersection. The posted speed limit on Mission Drive is 40 mph. Parking is
prohibited along both sides of Mission Drive.
DATA
Traffic accident data and peak hour traffic volumes for the intersection were
accumulated to evaluate established criteria for implementing left -turn phasing at
signalized intersections. The accident data was accumulated for the most recent
three -year period which occurred from March 1, 1993 to March 31, 1996. A review
of the accident data revealed that a total of seventeen .accidents have been
reported at the intersection for the three -year period studied. The attached collision
diagram depicts these accidents. A total of five accidents were reported for the
north and southbound left turns.
Peak hour turning movement counts were taken at the intersection. In addition, a
field observation of the AM and PM peak hour conditions were completed to
determine the number of vehicles that may be experiencing delay. The peak hour
traffic volumes are attached for further reference.
DISCUSSION
In order to determine if left -turn phasing is warranted, one or several standard
guidelines must be met. The guidelines utilized for this evaluation were obtained
from The Caltrans Traffic Manual, Section 9.01.3. The guidelines refer to four basic
areas of consideration for the addition of left turn phasing. The guidelines are
discussed as follows:
1. Accidents. The accident warrant requires five or more left -turn accidents
for a particular left turn movement during a 12 -month period.
As mentioned previously, a total of five left turn accidents have been
reported for the north and southbound directions. Three were reported for
the northbound left turn and two for the southbound direction. Because the
accidents did not total five for a particular left turn movement, this warrant is
not satisfied.
2. Delay. Left -turn delays of one or more vehicles which were waiting at the
beginning of the green interval and are still remaining in the left -turn lane
after at least 80% of the total number of cycles for one hour.
A review of the time delay data for the intersection reveals that the maximum
delay experienced for the northbound left turn is 28 percent during the AM
peak hour and for the southbound left turn a 3 percent delay is experienced
during the PM peak hour. Given this data, the delay warrant is not satisfied.
3. Volume. For a pretimed signal or a background - cycle - controlled actuated
signal, a left -turn volume of more than two vehicles per approach per cycle
for a peak hour, or for a traffic- actuated signal, 50 or more left turning
vehicles per hour in one direction with the product of the turning and
conflicting through traffic during the peak hour of 100,000 or more.
A review of the traffic volume data during the most critical peak hour,
revealed that the maximum volume for the Walnut Grove Avenue left and
opposing through movements were 162 and 505, respectively. The product
of these two values totals 81,810, thus, not satisfying the Volume Warrant
No. 3.
4. Miscellaneous. Other factors that might be considered are consistency of
signal phasing with adjacent intersections, impaired sight distance
due to horizontal of vertical curvature, or where there is a large percentage
of buses and trucks.
There are no unusual geometrics or conditions that would satisfy the
miscellaneous guideline.
The guidelines discussed above do not lend to a recommendation for the
installation of separate left turn traffic signal phasing. However, since the majority
of the accidents have occurred within a recent one year period (1995), it is
recommended as a remedial measure that the "all red" signal clearance time be
increased from 0.0 to 1.0 second for the north and southbound approaches. This
will provide addition time for vehicles to clear the intersection prior to the opposing
street traffic green time is initiated. The 1.0 second red clearance is consistent with
Caltrans signal timing guidelines fora 40 mile per hour speed limit.
RECOMMENDATION
An evaluation of the request to provide separate left -turn signal phasing for the
Walnut Grove Avenue approaches at the intersection of Mission Drive intersection
has been conducted. The evaluation demonstrated that the left -turn traffic signal
guidelines, as established by Caltrans, have not been met, and therefore, separate
left -turn signal phasing is not recommended. However, an increase in the "all red"
clearance interval for Walnut Grove Avenue is recommended as a remedial
measure.

ROSEMEAD TRAFFIC COMMISSION
FROM CHRIS TURNBULL
ACTING DEPUTY TRAFFIC ENGINEER
DATE: OCTOBER 29,1996
RE: REQUEST FOR GREEN CURB ON GARVEY AVENUE
EAST OF DEQUINE AVENUE
REQUEST
A request was received by the City Council from Kwok H. Yeung, owner of
Wienerschnitzel, to paint the curb green with a "20 MIN PARKING' stencil for the
space in front of the establishment. An additional request was received from
Garvey Equipment for similar measures. The request indicated parking problems
due to the newly opened Southeast Adult Center school, where students are
parking in front of adjacent businesses for extended periods of time. The request
is attached for reference.
CONDITIONS
Garvey Avenue is a 74 feet wide with two lanes of traffic in each direction separated
by a 10 feet wide raised landscaped median. The posted speed limit on Garvey
Avenue is 35 mph. On street parking is limited to two hours from 7 A.M. to 6 P.M.
except for Sundays and Holidays.
Dequine Avenue is a 30 -foot wide roadway with no striping. The prima facie speed
limit is 25 mph. Dequine Avenue is stop controlled at its intersection with Garvey
Avenue.
Figure 1 depicts existing conditions
DISCUSSION
A field review of the area was completed and revealed that on street parking in this
area is being used by vehicles for extended periods of time. Most likely, the on
street parking is being used by students of the Southeast Adult Center school,
because one of the two on -site parking areas was gated and the other area was
under utilized. On street parking along Dequine Avenue was being fully utilized.
As part of the Cities approval of the school, much consideration was given to
parking conditions and requirements within the area. This is partly the reason the
school has two parking areas onsite. The school has been put on notice regarding
on -site parking conditions and are subject to their Conditional Use Permit. The
attached letter provides some background on the City's position regarding parking.
Garvey Avenue is a public street with 2 hour parking limits from 7 A.M. to 6 P.M.
except for Sundays and Holidays. A public parking space is typically not allocated
to just one user, however, it is commonly used by adjacent business owner(s).
Given the nature of student parking, which is typically longer than two hours, and
parking conditions placed on the school by the City to provide ample on site parking,
it is appropriate for the Garvey Avenue public parking to be designated as high
turnover parking to reflect the needs of the business located adjacent to the parking
space. To accomplish this, it is recommended that approximately 85 feet of curb
be painted green with white "20 MINUTE" messages stenciled on the top of each
curb section. As part of this improvement, the removal of one existing parking sign
and the installation of two new parking signs that enforce the new parking treatment
is recommended.
Figure 1 depicts proposed conditions.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on conditions discussed above in the vicinity of the Garvey Avenue and
Dequine Avenue, it is recommended that approximately 85 feet of curb on Garvey
Avenue east of Dequine Avenue be painted green with white "20 MINUTE"
messages stenciled on top of the curb and noted parking signs installed as shown
on Figure 1.

Rosemead, Ca. 91770
(818) 288 -6671
Dear Mayor,
This letter regards my concern about the parking space in front of my store. I have only
one parking space in front of my store that is available to my customers. This space is very often
occupied by the customers who intend to `stop and go' for a quick meal. This is a very
convenient spot for my customers and it has helped our business. The customers can easily exit
from their car and walk -up to our counter to place their order. This is necessary for those that are
in a hurry and need `fast- food.'
Recently, the building across from us has opened up and become a school. The problem is the
students. They repeatedly park their cars in our designated spot for countless hours, occupying
that space and denying it to our customers. This has hurt our business tremendously. It is
especially repelling our valued `stop n go' customers.
I would like for you to get the curb of this parking space painted green with a message stating: 20
minutes only. This would greatly help our business and keep the students from parking there for
continuous hours. I would appreciate your effort in accomplishing this as soon as possible.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Kwok H. eung

SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 96 -669
7422 E. Garvey Avenue
Dear Dr. Keihacker;
On April 15, 1996, Rosemead's Planning Commission approved a permit for the Alhambra
School District to operate an adult education facility located at 7422 E. Garvey Avenue. Mr.
Lyons, Director of Planning and I, worked very closely with Ms. Jean Turner and Mr. Mark
Paulson on completing this process - 4ne of our concerns that we presented early on was that
there was not enough parking for the number of students that were requested.
Our parking code requires an adult educational facility to' provide parking at a rate of one space
per two students, plus one space per faculty on the largest shift. Ms Turner stated that there
would be eight (8) staff and that you proposed to serve 80 students now with the potential to
increase to 100 later. We noted that the site is eight (8) parking spaces short for allowing 80
students. However, they noted that many students take the bus.
During the CUP process, we agreed for the school to operate with 80 students. Meanwhile, the
school is to take note of the number of students that are taking the bus. This information will help
your case when/if you decide to expand your operation without adding parking. However, we
have recently received a couple of complaints from your neighbors about students parking on the
street.
Staff conducted an investigation on September 26, 1996,. and Mr. Brad Johnson of our office
spoke with Mr. Frank tonal of your agency. We found, and Mr. Conal confirmed, that the
students have not been allowed to use the parking facilities. In their place, staff from other
Alhambra School District facilities are now parking at this location.
This action places your facility in violation of Condition 4 6 which regulates parking based on
eight (8) staff and 80 students all using the parking facilities at this site. Nothing was ever
mentioned about outside staff using this parking facility. Changes in operation requires a
modification request to go back to the Planning Commission for a public hearing (Condition 98).

Please work with your staff to correct this problem so that students have the opportunity to park
within the facility and staff from other facilities do not. We would like to provide fair warning
that cars parked on the street are subject to citations. We have instructed our parking control
officers to actively enforce parking restrictions in this area. In addition, we are now reviewing the
possibility of reducing the parking limit to 20 minutes in this area to reduce potential conflicts
with the neighboring businesses.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mr. Lyons or myself at (818)288 -6671. We
area available Monday - Thursday from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm. Your prompt attention will be greatly
appreciated.

ACTING DEPUTY TRAFFIC ENGINEER
DATE: OCTOBER 29, 1996
RE: REQUEST FOR TRAFFIC CONTROLS AT
MISSION DRIVE AND EARLE AVENUE
REQUEST
A request was received by the Traffic Commission at the October meeting from Ms. dolly Leon
to review traffic conditions at the intersection of Mission Drive and Earle Avenue. Ms. Leon stated
that it is difficult to exit Earle Avenue and indicated that there have been at least two recent
accidents at the intersection.
CONDITIONS
Mission Drive is 64 feet wide east of Earle Avenue and 62 feet wide west of Earle Avenue. The
roadway is striped for two lanes of traffic in each direction with a double yellow centerline stripe
separating the east and westbound traffic. Parking is permitted on both sides of the street except
for the red curb on the northeast side of the roadway. A white crosswalk is located on the east
leg of the Mission Drive and Earle Avenue intersection. A crossing guard was observed during
the hours of 1:30 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. The posted speed limit is 40 mph. Visibility from Earle
Avenue at Mission Drive was reviewed and found to be adequate.
Earle Avenue is 38 feet wide north of Mission Drive and 35 feet wide south of Mission Drive with
no centerline striping. Parking is permitted on both sides of the street. The prima facie speed
limit is 25 mph.
Figure 1 depicts existing traffic conditions.
DATA
The reported accident history from April 1, 1993 to March 31, 1996 was assembled and
reviewed. This accident history revealed two accidents occurring within 100 feet of the
intersection. These accidents are summarized as follows:
Location and Description Data Time
At intersection - Westbound vehicle 6/23/95 5:45 PM
proceeding straight collided with a
northbound pedestrian (Right -of -way Pedestrian)
18 feet east - Westbound vehicle 9/25/94 10:15 PM
proceeding straight rearended an
westbound stopping (Unsafe speed)
Accident data from April 1, 1996 to the present was not available at this time.
Twenty -four hour approach counts were taken at the intersection on Tuesday October 15, 1996.
These counts revealed the following:
DISCUSSION
A review of additional traffic controls at the intersection was completed based on the data
collected and guidelines established in the Caltrans Traffic Manual for traffic signals and multi -way
STOP conditions. The guidelines consider many factors but primarily depend on vehicle volume,
pedestrian volume, and accident history.
The traffic volume count of the intersection reveals a total 24 -hour volume of 14,664 on Mission
Drive and 554 on Earle Avenue. Field review of the intersection during various times throughout
the day revealed less than 5 pedestrians crossing the intersection of Mission Drive and Earle
Avenue. A review of the guidelines for additional traffic controls indicates that 8 hours of the main
street volume warrant is met but that the minor street warrant falls well below the threshold.
The accident warrant of five or more accidents in a recent twelve month period is not met even
given the two accidents noted by Ms. Leon. These three accidents would be susceptible for
correction with the installation of traffic signal or multi -way STOP.
Attached are summaries of the traffic signal and multi -way stop sign warrants found in the
Caltrans Traffic Manual and reviewed for this evaluation.
All warrants were reviewed and were found to be not satisfied for the installation of a traffic signal
or a multi -way STOP.
RECOMMENDATION
The installation of additional traffic controls at the intersection of Mission Drive and Earle Avenue
is not recommended at this time.

TO: HONORABLE CHAIRMAN
AND MEMBERS
ROSEMEAD TRAFFIC COMMISSION
FROM: CHRIS TURNBULL �&
ACTING DEPUTY TRAFFIC ENGINEER
DATE: OCTOBER 29, 1996
RE: REQUEST TO EVALUATE EXISTING RED CURB ON HELLMAN
AVENUE AT LAFAYETTE STREET
A request has been received from Mr. Bernard Ancheta to take another look at the
recently installed red curb located in front of 8043 Hellman Avenue. The red curb
was installed due to a number of complaints received by the City regarding
difficulties turning from Lafayette Street, both the north and south directions.
Hellman Avenue is a 40 feet wide east/west roadway posted 30 miles per hour
(mph). There is one lane of traffic in both directions separated by a single yellow
skip stripe. Parking is not allowed for approximately 60 feet east of Lafayette Street
for fronting homes located on Hellman Avenue.
Lafayette Street is a 34 -foot wide north /south roadway with no striping. The prima
facie speed limit is 25 mph. Lafayette Street is stop controlled at its intersection
with Hellman Avenue. Parking is allowed on both sides of Lafayette Street.
The establishment of the red curb area that exists on Hellman Avenue east of
Lafayette Street is the result of sight distance requirements based on the posted
speed limit on Hellman Avenue and the criteria contained in the Caltrans Highway
Design Manual. Given a sight distance triangle of 330 feet, the existing red curb
east of Lafayette Street is appropriate. Figure 1 depicts the sight distance area.
