Remove the existing "Not A Through Streer' sign on Bartlett Avenue south of Loftus Drive and replace with a "No Outlet' sign. Traffic Engineering Deputy Itagaki demonstrated the vicinity on the map to the audience on the board. Speaking before the Commission was: Helen Gunther 3644 Dubonnet Street Rosemead, California 91770 Ms. Gunther stated that she sympathizes with the people living on Olney Street, because they only have one way in and one way out, and the people driving on that street do not go 25 mph as they should. She also feels the residents on that street should have been notified of the school district' s plans before proceeding. Speaking before the Commission was: Resident 8725 Loftus Drive Rosemead, California 91770 Traffic Commission Minutes February 7, 2002 This resident asked if anyone ever checked the counts on traffic going down on Loftus, because people go down Loftus Drive to get out of Dubonnet. He feels there should be Sheriff's patrolling this area and ticketing people to alert some of the parents dropping off their kids that are not observing the speed limit. Speaking before the Commission was: Veronica Pena 8648 Olney Street Rosemead, California 91770 Ms. Pena asked if the new entrance coming in from the back, is going to be a one -way all the way out on Olney through the Pre - School, and asked what was going to happen to the traffic going into the Pre - School. Ms. Pena feels the traffic goes through this location really fast, and was upset that one of the City's workers almost ran over her son by speeding on this street. Speaking before the Commission was: Maria Romero Rosemead School District Ms. Romero was there on behalf of Ms. Amy Enomoto- Perez, Superintendent of the Rosemead School District. One of the 1st concerns the district is for the safety of the students. There was a lot of problems with kids being dropped off on Marshall Street and crossing the street and there have been too many close calls. There are 820 students enrolled at Janson School, with a large percentage of those children being dropped off by parents/ caretakers. The idea behind this project was for an area for parents to stop, drop their kids off and not have to cross the street. The location of the parking was driven by the fact that the front of the school is not conducive [to being a drop -off area]. The side of the school has a small drop -off area that is used by parents to drop off their children and after 8:15 a.m., the gates at this location will remain closed in the new parking area to avoid on -going traffic. Ms. Romero feels a lot will depend on how the education of the staff members and the parents on how this [project] is going to work. Commissioner Ruiz asked specifically, what the school district is doing to educate the staff members and parents. Traffic Commission Minutes February 7, 2002 Ms. Romero stated that [the school district had] the Architect contact the City, and the City [informed the architect] to notify the parents and neighbors. The school district had a meeting with the staff, we asked the Principal to send out flyers out to the immediate neighbors, there was time when they were available for questions and answers. Commissioner Knapp suggested that someone be out there handing out flyers to each and every parent /caretaker that drops off a child. Commissioner Ruiz apologized to the citizens in the audience for not being informed of the construction going on and feels the City made a mistake. In the future at any site within our City where traffic is involved, he is requesting that our staff notify the citizens in a two -block radius. Someone in the audience stated that there is no flagman on the job site and it is very dangerous. Commissioner Ruiz asked if this job was being subbed -out [subcontracted]. The Architect responded "yes'. Commissioner Ruiz went on to request that a Code Enforcement Office be at the job location the very next morning. Someone in the audience asked how this whole issue came to be. Ms. Maria Romero stated that the school district is regulated by a State Agency, and in most cases any project needs to be submitted for their approval, in addition to some interaction with the City. Letters were sent out to the residents directly behind the school only! Traffic Sergeant Bob Izell informed the commission and audience that there were motor units at the school that day [February 7, 2002]. He also indicated that they will have their motorcycle officers monitor this location and start citing people to get them to slow down. Sergeant Izell cited also that there are only four motor units for the city limiting availability. Commissioner Knapp suggested that the School and School District offer a meeting with the local residents to discuss these and any other concerns they may have before the deadline date of March 18 in order to clear the air and allow the residents to voice their opinions. Traffic Commission Minutes February 7, 2002 Commissioner Knapp made the motion to: 1. That we have a crossing guard at Bartlett, and three (3) "Keep Cleat" signs painted on the street. One at Bartlett and Marshall, one at Loftus & Bartlett & one at Dubonnet and have them policed. 2. To place a yellow /green sign west of the bridge on Marshall Street. 3. To have the sign on Loftus attached to the stop ahead sign on the east side of the street, along side the Church building. 4. To cut down the 15 ft. of red curb on Loftus and narrow it down 10 ft. 5. Have the School District look at bringing back the bus service at this school. Chairman Baffo thanked everyone in the audience for attending. Commissioner Knapp rescinded her initial motion and recommended that a full decision not be made and to continue the item to the next meeting to allow the School District and the residents to meet and resolve some of these issues. Commissioner Ruiz recommended to the residents that they address the speeders in their neighborhood with Community organization. VI. STAFF REPORTS Traffic Engineering Deputy Itagaki stated that at the January 22 City Council Meeting, the Council approved the removal of the red curb at the City of Angels Hospital. VII. COMMISSIONER REPORTS VIII. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the Commission, the meeting was adjourned at 8:51 p.m. There were 26 people in the audience. Staff Report Rosemead Traffic Commission TO: HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS ROSEMEAD TRAFFIC COMMISSSION FROM: JOANNE ITAGAKI, TRAFFIC ENGINEERING DEPUTY DATE: February 26, 2002 RE: Additional Traffic Controls in the Vicinity of Janson School — Continued Item BACKGROUND At it's last regular meeting, the Traffic Commission continued this item regarding traffic controls in the vicinity of Janson School. Commissioner Knapp had made several suggestions that needed to be addressed before the Traffic Commission felt they could make a motion. Commissioner Knapp further suggested the School District and residents meet together to discuss issues of concern by the residents. This report has been prepared to address the suggestions of Commissioner Knapp. DISCUSSION 1. Crossing Guard at Bartlett Avenue /Marshall Street Commissioner Knapp's first suggestion was the assignment of a crossing guard to the intersection of Bartlett Avenue and Marshall Street. There are two crosswalks at this intersection (west leg and south leg). A crossing guard is assigned to the signalized intersection of Walnut Grove Avenue and Marshall Street. Due to the future changes in the traffic and pedestrian patterns surrounding Janson School, staff recommends analysis of the need for a crossing guard at Bartlett Avenue and Marshall Street some time after ( -1 -2 months) the new driveway entrance is in operation. There is likely to be a change in the pedestrian pattern with the new driveway entrance. 2. "KEEP CLEAR" at Bartlett/Marshall, Marshall /Dubonnet, and Bartlett/Loftus The use of "KEEP CLEAR" markings was suggested due to the queue of vehicles in the westbound direction especially during school begin /release times. Often time vehicles on Marshall Street block access for vehicles on the side streets causing congestion and delay. The intersection of Bartlett Avenue /Marshall Street is a 4 -way Stop controlled location. The Stop controls provide a rotation of right -of -way that should not March 7, 2002 Traffic Commission Agenda Additional Traffic Controls in the Vicinity of Janson School — Continued Item Page 2 of 3 delay the side street (Bartlett Avenue) traffic. There may be times when the intersection is congested however staff believes the "KEEP CLEAR" markings at this intersection is not necessary. For the intersection of Marshall Street/Dubonnet Avenue, Dubonnet Avenue is stop controlled at this T intersection. As such, queued westbound vehicles on Marshall Street are not always willing to allow vehicles into the flow of traffic from Dubonnet Avenue. Therefore, the installation of "KEEP CLEAR" markings at the intersection of Marshall Street/Dubonnet Avenue is recommended. The intersection of Bartlett Avenue /Loftus Drive is a T intersection. Bartlett Avenue experiences queues of traffic due to vehicles trying to access Marshall Street. This queue sometimes blocks traffic on Loftus trying to access Bartlett Avenue. Therefore, the installation of "KEEP CLEAR" markings at the intersection of Bartlett Avenue /Loftus Drive is recommended. 3. Reduction of Length of Red Curb Commissioner Knapp inquired as to if the recommended red curb could be reduced in length. She felt parking space was an issue and that less red curb should be considered. The 50 feet of red curb recommended immediately north of the new driveway entrance could be reduced. However, with the 50 feet of red curb, there is over 150 feet of available parking area. The 50 feet of red curb allows for a better turning area for vehicles entering the school. Staff has also recommended 15 feet of red curb be installed in conjunction with the recommended Stop sign installations. This red curb provides a clear visibility of the recommended Stop signs. Often times, Stop signs are blocked from view when vehicles park directly adjacent to the sign. In all but one location, there is sufficient parking available for the affected property. The one location, 8648 Olney Street, with the 15 feet of red curb has -17 feet of remaining parking area. At 8648 Olney Street, staff has no objection to reducing the red curb to 10 feet ( -22 feet of parking area). Staff does not feel a reduction in the length of red curb in other areas is necessary. 4. Relocation of Fluorescent Yellow Green (FYG) school signs. Commissioner Knapp suggested several FYG school signs be relocated. However, the location of school signs follows the guidelines provided by Caltrans. In addition, the City currently has a project that is installing /replacing school signs with FYG school signs. Therefore, the relocation of FYG school signs is not recommended at this time. After the current City project is completed surrounding Janson School, staff will contact Commissioner Knapp to discuss possible adjustments to the school sign locations. March 7, 2002 Traffic Commission Agenda Additional Traffic Controls in the Vicinity of Janson School — Continued Item Page 3 of 3 RECOMMENDATIONS Exhibit 2 depicts the recommendations to install "KEEP CLEAR" pavement markings at Marshall Street/Dubonnet Avenue and Bartlett Avenue /Loftus Drive.

As part of this construction, School District officials met with City staff to discuss general concerns regarding the new circulation pattern. During this meeting, City staff identified concerns regarding the intersection of Bartlett Avenue /Olney Street and Bartlett Avenue /Loftus Drive. This report will address the concerns at these two intersections. CONDITIONS Janson School is located on Marshall Street between Bartlett Avenue and Walnut Grove Avenue. There is also access to the school on Olney Street. Bartlett Avenue is a 36 -foot wide north /south residential roadway with parking allowed on both sides of the street. Bartlett Avenue is stop controlled at its intersection with Marshall Street. There is no traffic striping on the street. Bartlett Avenue "T's" into Olney Street at its southern terminus. There is a . 'School 25 mph When Children are Present" sign for northbound Bartlett Avenue north of Olney Street. Olney Street is a 36 -foot wide east/west residential roadway with parking allowed on both sides of the street. There is no traffic striping on the street. The prima facie speed limit is 25 mph. Loftus Drive is a 30 -foot wide east/west residential roadway with parking allowed on both sides of the street. Loftus Drive "T's" into Bartlett Avenue at its western terminus. There is no traffic striping on the street. The prima facie speed limit is 25 mph. Exhibit 1 depicts the existing conditions of the subject streets. (The Exhibit will be available at the Traffic Commission meeting.) February 7, 2002 Traffic Commission Agenda Additional Traffic Controls in the Vicinity of Janson School Page 2 of 4 DATA The reported accident history on Bartlett Avenue, Olney Street and Loftus Drive was reviewed for the period from January 1, 1998 through June 30, 2001. The accident history revealed one reported accident summarized as follows: Location & Description PCF* Date, Day & Time Bartlett Avenue at Marshall Street Right -of -way 01/22/98, Thurs. & Westbound vehicle proceeding automobile 10:05 AM straight broadsided a southbound vehicle turning left. PCF* = Primary Collision Factor Traffic volume counts taken at the intersection of Bartlett Avenue /Olney Street approximately one year ago revealed the following: 24 hour Volume Peak Hour Volume Southbound Bartlett Avenue 804 93 (7:00 AM) Eastbound Olney Street - 373 69 (2:00 PM) Westbound Olney Street 257 32 (7:00 AM) DISCUSSION As the Traffic Commission is already aware, the traffic circulation in the vicinity of Janson School has been an ongoing issue for many years. This school, unfortunately, was built fronting a collector street (Marshall Street) in the City. As population has increased, so has traffic volumes resulting in increased traffic volumes on Marshall Street. Several different traffic controls have been implemented to improve traffic flow in the vicinity of Janson School. Some of these include: parking restrictions on Marshall Street, addition of a crossing guard, and a change in traffic signal phasing at Walnut Grove Avenue /Marshall Street. The new circulation pattern the School District. is constructing will provide a parking lot on the south end of the property with access from Bartlett Avenue. This new parking lot will be a one -way circulation pattern (westbound) that connects to the existing parking lot at the northwest side of the property. The School District has also requested the installation of "no parking" areas at and across from the new entrance. A full size plan of the new construction will be presented at the Traffic Commission meeting. The intersections of Bartlett Avenue /Olney Street and Bartlett Avenue /Loftus Drive are 3- legged intersections with no traffic controls. Therefore, the California Vehicle Code (CVC) Section 21800 (b) (1) governs the right -of -way for vehicles at this type of intersection. This Section states, in part, "any vehicle on a February 7, 2002 Traffic Commission Agenda Additional Traffic Controls in the Vicinity of Janson School Page 3 of 4 terminating highway shall yield the right -of -way to any vehicle on the intersection continuing highway." This means that southbound vehicles on Bartlett Avenue would yield the right -of -way to vehicles on Olney Street and that westbound vehicles on Loftus Drive would yield the right -of -way to vehicles on Bartlett Avenue. Caltrans guidelines indicate Stop control is usually established on the street with the least volume of traffic. Additional control, beyond the basic right -of -way assignment, is usually reserved for those locations where the volume of traffic exceeds 500 vehicles per hour for any eight hours of an average day and where. both streets having about the same amount of traffic, lends credibility to the higher level of intersection control. Without credibility, voluntary compliance is poor and without voluntary compliance, traffic safety is severely compromised. With the change in Janson School's circulation pattern, it is anticipated that additional traffic will travel through the intersections of Bartlett Avenue /Olney Street and Bartlett Avenue /Loftus Drive. Exhibits 2 and 3 (available at the Traffic Commission meeting) show the estimated traffic volumes for Bartlett Avenue /Olney Street and Bartlett Avenue /Loftus Drive. Though the estimated increase in traffic volumes may not meet Caltrans guidelines for the installation of Stop signs, it is recommended that a 3 -way Stop be installed at Bartlett Avenue /Olney Street and that a Stop be installed on Loftus Drive at Bartlett Avenue. This recommendation is based on previous experience with traffic circulation around Janson School and the need to control traffic especially during school start and release times. I The School District's request for "no parking" areas was analyzed. The new driveway entrance is approximately 25 feet wide and is a one -way (inbound) circulation. The installation of red curb or no parking signs north of this driveway will help access to the driveway. South of the driveway, .a "no parking" area would provide some additional clearance for northbound vehicles turning left into the driveway. However, very few vehicles are anticipated to make that left turn. As for "no parking" areas across the street, there is no reason with regards to traffic flow that such an area is needed. Field review of the subject intersections also identified needed changes /additions in traffic controls. These recommendations are included below. February 7, 2002 Traffic Commission Agenda Additional Traffic Controls in the Vicinity of Janson School Page 4 of 4 RECOMMENDATION The following recommendations are made and are depicted in. Exhibit 1: 1. Install Stop controls with limit line and "STOP" legend on Bartlett Avenue at Olney Street and on Olney Street at Bartlett Avenue (3 -way stop intersection). 2. Install Stop control with limit line and "STOP" legend on Loftus Drive at Bartlett Avenue ( "T" stop intersection). 3. Install 15 feet of red curb from the new Stop controls "back" (against traffic) at each location (4 sets of red curb). 4. Install "25 mph" speed limit signs on Olney Street west of Bartlett Avenue and on Olney Street east of the west cul -de -sac (2 signs). 5. Install 50 feet of red curb on the west side of Bartlett Avenue from the new driveway access to the north. 6. Install 10 feet of red curb on the west side of Bartlett Avenue from the new driveway access to the south. 7. Install "Loftus Drive" and "Bartlett Avenue" street name signs on the existing street light pole on the southeast corner of the intersection. 8. Remove the existing "Not A Through Street" sign on Bartlett Avenue south of Loftus Drive and replace with a "No Outlet" sign.
