Field investigation discloses Bartlett Avenue in this vicinity as being 20 feet wide with unimproved sub-standard shoulders, with vehicles parked on both sides of Bartlett Avenue at the north approach of Garvey Avenue. Vehicles entering or exiting have difficulty, and therefore recommended that "No Stopping At Any Time" signs be placed on both sides of Bartlett Avenue with appropriate arrows as follows: On the west side: commencing 42 feet north of the north curb line of Garvey Avenue to a point 85 feet north of said north curb line, a total of 43 feet.

It was moved by Councilman Maude, second by Councilman Hunter, and unanimously carried, that the foregoing recommendation be approved. B. MISSION DRIVE TRAFFIC SIGNAL OPERATION Mr. Envall advised of a request from the County of Los Angeles asking that a modified signal operation be used at the inter- sections of Mission and Muscatel and Mission and Walnut Grove, rather than flashing red lights. The Commission is recommending that a 24-hour operation with minimal cycle after 12:00 mid-night be installed at the above intersections. The approximate total cost is $400.00. It was moved by Councilman Pike, second by Councilman Andersen, and unanimously carried, that the foregoing recommendation be approved. Roll Call Vote as follows: AYES: Councilmen: Andersen, Hunter, Maude, Pike, Taylor NOES: Councilmen: None ABSENT: Councilmen: None C. ROSEMEAD BOULEVARD AND NEVADA ST. - RESTRICTED PARKING Mr. Envall stated that a field check indicates a need for restricted parking adjacent to Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour, due to the anticipated traffic patterns along with a striping pattern on Nevada Street, westerly of Rosemead Boulevard, and it is therefore recommended that the below named regulations be placed within this area: 1. Place an additional 12 feet of red curb marking on the west side of Rosemead Boulevard, north of Nevada Street. 2. Place 5 feet of red curb on the west side of Rosemead Boulevard, southerly of the first driveway north of Nevada Street. 3.

Place 150 feet of off-set double center line striping westerly of Rosemead Blvd. Councilman Maude stated that several of Farrell's employees are parking on Nevada Street between Rosemead and Ivar, and suggested a poll be taken of the property owners,requesting their opinion of placing "No Parking" or "Two Hour Time Limit Parking" signs on this street.

D. 3128 SAN GABRIEL BOULEVARD - COMMERCIAL LOADING ZONE Mr. Envall made reference to a request by Mr. Joseph Redivido of Robach Manufacturing Company, regarding need for a commercial loading zone, and advised that following investiga- tion, the Commission has recommended the placement of a commercial loading zone on the east side of San Gabriel Boule- vard, commencing 36 feet north of the north curb line prolonga- tion of Whitmore Street for a distance of. 23 feet northerly. It was moved by Councilman Maude, second by Councilman Hunter, and unanimously carried, that the foregoing recommendation be approved. E. DELTA STREET - MISSION TO WELLS Mr. Envall made reference to a request by Mrs. Mansfield, 4621 Delta Street, advising that traffic travels at excessive speeds between the above limits primarily between the hours of 9 and 11 p.m.; and it is therefore the Commission's recommendation that Delta Street be stopped at the north approach to Wells with stop and stop bar pavement markings. Mr. Envall also stated the Sheriff's Department has been contacted regarding selective enforcement on this section of Delta between the above mentioned hours. It was moved by Councilman Pike, second by Councilman Maude, and unanimously carried, that the foregoing recommendation be approved. F. 4619 ROSEMEAD BOULEVARD - RESTRICTED PARKING Mr. Envall referred to a letter from the State Division of Highways, requesting restricted parking on the west side of Rosemead Boulevard, south of the entrance to the west service road of Rosemead Boulevard, north of Mission Drive. Field investigation indicated that more red curb is needed other than that requested by the State in order to alleviate a visibility problem, and therefore recommended that red curb markings be placed on the west side of Rosemead Boulevard extending southerly for a distance of 249 feet south of the west service road of Rosemead Boulevard, excluding the two driveways; and further, that a resolution be prepared to this effect and forwarded to the State. It was moved by Councilman Maude, second by Councilman Pike, and unanimously carried, that the foregoing recommendation be approved. Page Seven C/C 9/22/70 G. ROSEMEAD BOULEVARD - RAPID TRANSIT AUTHORITY ZONES Mr. Envall made reference to a recent field trip with a representative of the Rapid Transit Authority regarding up- grading existing bus stops on Rosemead Boulevard within the City. The three locations discussed are as follows: 1. A 70 foot bus zone on the west side of Rosemead Boulevard north of Ralph Street and a 75 foot bus zone on the east side of Rosemead Boulevard, southerly of Ralph Street. This will be an increase of approximately 40 feet of red curb markings which will provide the bus loading zone and also additional visibility for traffic entering the intersection. 2. The east and west sides of Rosemead Boulevard southerly of Mission Drive. This will remain as existing, no modification. 3. 81 feet of red curb marking on the west side of Rosemead Boulevard, north of Lower Azusa Road prolongation and 70 feet on the east side of Rosemead Boulevard, north of Lower Azusa Road. This will be an additional 47 feet on the west side and 30 feet on the east side, and will also provide additional visibility leaving the Sands Coffee Shop on the west side. Following discussion amongst the Council, it was moved by Councilman Maude, second by Councilman Pike, and unanimously carried, that the foregoing recommendations be approved, with the exception that all stops be placed on the far side of the subject intersections. Councilman Hunter made reference to pedestrian traffic coming from Willard school, and suggested Mr. Envall study the possibility of placing a mid-block crosswalk on Walnut Grove Avenue between Hellman and Garvey Avenues. Councilman Maude also requested a study be made of the speed limit on Temple City Boulevard, north of Valley Boulevard. UNFINISHED BUSINESS CONTINUED 15.
