Commissioner'Clai*.asked what.the connector to downtown was.
Vice -Chair Ly explainedt's,a:light rail from Union Station area and instead of transferring from the gold line,
to the red or blue line; passengers can stay on the gold'line to go directly to a regional connector on the same
line. Mr. Ly added that a regional connector would be a benefit to the community.
Commissioner Clark asked when the route will be decided on.
Mr. Gonzales - replied the route will be decided between September and December of 2011.
Commissioner Clark asked if the High Speed Rail Authority can show the SR -60 that they can be
compatible. Has the SR60 Coalition looked at that?

Mr. Gonzales —replied that the compatibility is an issue for the City, 1 -10 cities and the SR -60 and when
Metro decides on a route, they will look at it with more detail.
Chair Taylor asked if Metro is looking at one or two routes.
Mr. Gonzales — explained that the there are two lines for the SR -60. For the High Speed Rail, Metro is
looking at four routes the 1 -10, SR -60, UPA Rail line, and the Union Pacific line.
Commissioner Armenta stated that Metro has taken out the Union Pacific linelbeca use it's not a possible
route. The only two routes that Metro is looking at are the 1 -10 and the 1 -60./
Mr. Gonzales — stated that at the Council of Governments meeting they'came'up`with a timeline chart of the
High Speed Rail that shows the SR -60 to be quicker route than the•1- 10VR60 is now,concerned because
now does that mean we are the favored route. We're waiting to see what happens`with the light rail line.
Vice -Chair Ly explained that the two lines are not compatible because °of the technology. Metro;has
indicated they are looking towards the south end of the freewaybecause;the High Speed Raif does not like
curvature trails on their route. Mr. Ly added that if the High Speed Rail.d'id go along the 1 -60 it will be on the
right -of -way of the freeway or along the north,end of the freeway; whereas the light rail gold line would be
going on the south end of the freeway. Also, if,tlie „High Speed Rail Authority wants to avoid eminent domain
of homes, they would have to go on the north end =of the•freeway all the way.tq uGarfeld and then switch to the
south end and that is a curvature. Mr. Ly stated that forthe safety ability of the-High Speed Rail, so that most
likely eliminates the option of the south end freewayk The SR -60 and-the High Speed Rail are two different
projects and does not believe eminent domain will be used on the south.end of the freeway for the gold line
extension. F`r \.f�l
Chair Taylor asked MrGonzales howl many home_ s could'be in condemnation in the City of Rosemead
because of the High Speed'Rail! , 1: V
Id be in condemnation.
Chair;fakior�confirmed it was 350 homes•thatlwould be in condemnation. He added that's in the right —of-
way and the .right —of -way is 250 feet wideand approximately 125 feet. For example 250 foot right -of -way,
125 feet to thie, enter of the righta way, take off 25 feet, it's a 50 foot concrete deck; take off another 25 so
you have approximately 100 feet from the right- of -way which would be the first house on the residential
streets all across thecity. Mr. Taylor asked what happens to the value of the house or ten houses down the
street that terminate on,the`high'speed rail system. He stated if we hang ourselves by saying we'll support
the gold line, he can't suppiirt it.
Mr. Gonzales — stated that his city is in the same situation and didn't know how many homes will be affected
because of the High Speed Rail. Mr. Gonzales added that the City of South El Monte has chosen to see what
is going to happen with the SR -60 extension first and by waiting the City is not saying they are in support of
the High Speed Rail. Also, other cities such as Montebello, Monterey Park and El Monte have not voiced their
opposition to the High Speed Rail because the Authority may have another phase of alternatives for the High
Speed Rail and the decision on the gold line will be made after September 2011.

Chair Taylor asked what the High Speed Rail system's EIR time was because the Authority is a State
organization that can override all of the cities and will come on March of 2011 to make a decision.
Mr. Gonzales — stated that he was not sure about the time frame.
Vice -Chair Ly stated that the High Speed Rail Authority may narrow their choices for two routes by March of
2011, however may look at other potential lines because of the EIR process. He added that an issue is where'
the meeting will be held whether in Los Angeles or Riverside area. Mr. Ly also stated that the gold line is a
separate line and will be built along Washington Boulevard or along the SR -60!

funding will beset through Measure R, and when the funds goes through, the SR -60 or the Washington line
will already be ink .1
Commissioner Low stated•ther'e are two choices: the SR -60 or Washington Blvd and felt the City should
focus on what is going to benefit the community. Mrs. Low added that if that is the case, the City should
support the Coalition to continue to fight that the line goes on the SR -60 and not on the Washington
Boulevard route.
Chair Taylor stated that 500 homes should not be sacrificed when only one store is producing tax revenue at
Montebello Mall for the City and potential restaurants.
Vice -Chair Ly stated if there is a stop by the Montebello Mall that would put that stop within a quarter of a
mile from Double Tree and Holiday Express and that would benefit the transient occupancy tax revenue.

Encinita Avenue — Installation of Marked Parallel Parking "T's"
The Traffic Commission considered a request to review parking conditions along Encinita

that large gaps in between vehicles limit available on- street parking. After visiting the site, it
was recommended that marked parallel parking spots (Parking "T's ") be installed along the
west side of Encinita Avenue to better delineate parking spaces,
Recommendation: That the City Council approve the
recommendation and authorize the installation of mark
west side of Encinita Avenue.

Mr. Montgomery-Scott replied that a 3K is a mile and a half and the 5K and the 1 K are both coming in one
general area. The 3K would have to be done in lieu of the 1 mile because there are only so many routes.
Mayor Pro Tem Ly stated that the 10K run would cross the barrier going south of Rosemead and at the
same time people running saw a good deal of Rosemead.
Mayor Taylor expressed concern with the traffic congestion he encountered during the event and it was an
inconvenience. He asked Mr. Montgomery -Scott on the time frame of the race.
Mr. Montgomery-Scott stated that the end time would be 10:30 a.m. and if the-race is reduced to a 5K, then
the course maybe cleared by 9:30 a.m.
