COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS 13. TRAFFIC: A. DEL MAR AVENUE - ADJACENT TO WILLIAMS SCHOOL - ADDITIONAL REGULATIONS. Mr. Envall, Traffic Engineer, presented this report in full making reference to a request for a crossing guard or traffic signai at this location. Mr. Envall stated,in part,as follows: "Based on nationally accepted warrants for the.placement of an adult crossing guard, the numbers of vehicles and children approach the minimum warrant, which is based on 300 vehicles per hour with 20 or more children crossing. However, the placement of a guard or other protective device at the intersection of Del Mar Avenue and High- cliff Street would not seem to be in the best public interest since a controlled four way stop is presently in place approximately 350 feet south of Highcliff Street. Walking conditions on the west side of Del Niar Avenue from approximately 100 feet north of Highcliff Street to Graves avenue, a total distance of approximately 1s50 feet, are not conducive to pedestrian traffic. By the same token, the first 150 feet on the east side of Del Mar Avenue north of Graves Avenue, could be improved on for pedestrian traffic. A check of right of way indicates that we have 80 feet of right of way from 100 feet north of Highcliff to the south property line of the school and 75 feet from this point southerly to Graves Avenue. The five feet lacking is on the east side of Del Mar Avenue. • J Page Five C/C 7/27/71 It would appear to be in the best interest of the City to improve the section with curb, gutter and sidewalk on the west side of Del Mar Avenue from a point north of Highcliff Street to Graves Avenue, and the east side from the southerly boundary of the school property to Graves Avenue. This would provide curbs at their ultimate width of 64 feet and allow pedestrian movement attending school to use the side- walks to the protected crossing at Graves Avenue, This would not be an unreasonable distance for pedestrian travel. The alternative solution would be to provide an adult crossing guard at the Highcliff Street crossing with a restriction to parking on the west side of Del Mar Avenue from 100 feet north of Highcliff Street to approximately 200 feet south of Highcliff Street." Mr. Envall further advised that the County presently has a proposal to improve the section of Del Mar Avenue from just north of Highcliff to Potrero Grande. This would eliminate the problem at the school. The proposal also includes the installation of a traffic control system at the intersection of Graves and Del Mar Avenue. Following discussion, the staff was directed to contact the County further on this matter, to determine when this project is scheduled to begin, estimated costs to the City, and any additional information in connection therewith. B. SAN GABRIEL BOULEVARD AND GARVEY AVENUE - VISIBILITY PROBLEM. Reference was made to a request from owner of the Arco Service Station at the southeast corner of the above inter- section. Mr. Envall stated in order to alleviate obstructed visibility due to parked vehicles adjacent to these driveways and provide a more effective right turn on San Gabriel Boule- vard, it is recommended that red curb markings be placed on the east side of San Gabriel Boulevard commencing 45 feet south of the south curb line of Garvey Avenue to a point 140 feet south of said south curb line, excluding one drive- way. It was moved by Councilman Andersen, second by Councilman Taylor, and unanimously carried, that the foregoing recom- mendation be approved. C. ELLIS LANE BETWEEN TEMPLE CITY BOULEVARD AND OLNEY STREET - EXCESSIVE SPEEDS. Reference was made to Council referral regarding excessive speeds of traffic on Ellis Lane between the above limits. Mr. Envall stated with previous Commission action and Council concurrence, striping was ordered on Ellis Lane, and stop and stop bar pavement markings were placed on intersecting streets entering Ellis Lane. In order to more effectively control the flow of traffic, it is recommended that twenty-five miles per hour speed limit regulations be placed on Ellis Lane between Temple City Boulevard and Olney Street, with signs to be placed on the west side of Ellis Lane at the south line of Steele Street, and on the east side at the north line of Olney Street. L Page Six C/C 7/27/71 It was moved by and unanimously be approved. COMMUNICATIONS 0 Councilman Pike, second by Councilman Hunter, carried, that the foregoing recommendation 14. A. HIRSCH-STERN CORPORATION - RE: FEDERAL RENT SUPPLEMENT PROGRAM. Mr. Street stated this is a request for the Council to adopt a resolution approving participation by local housing owners in the Federal Rent Supplement Program. Mr. Robert Hirsch of the Hirsch/Stern Corporation, 15233 Ventura Boulevard, Sherman Oaks, Builders and Developers, addressed the Council, and stated, in essence, the resolution merely states that the City is aware that rent supplement funds are going to be used for the particular location they now have in escrow which is being designed for a senior citizen apartment project. Mr. Hirsch further stated that the plans for the proposed development have been submitted to the Planning Department for review. Mr. Frank Nelson of the Department of Senior Citizens, Los Angeles County, addressed the Council in favor of the proposed development. Following consideration, Mr. Contreras was directed to make a comparison of the development as it relates to the City's ordinance requirements. B. CITY OF AZUSA - RE: PAY RAISES TO COUNTY SHERIFF AND FIRE PERSONNEL. Mr. Street stated this resolution is opposing the Board of Supervisors action in granting pay raises to County Sheriff and Fire Personnel. Following discussion, the City Attorney was directed to prepare a similar resolution for consideration at the next meeting. C. STATE OF CALIFORNIA - RE: FREEWAY ROUTE PLANNING STUDIES. Mr. Street stated that in April of this year, Governor Reagan announced a new Department of Public Works' policy on freeway and transportation planning intended to bring local government and citizens further into the decision-malting process. Under the policy, the Department will conduct new planning studies jointly with appropriate local government agencies and the Councils of Governments or Transit Districts under terms of formal cooperative agreements. There being no objections this communication was received. 15. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE. A.
