A. Possible Amendments to Rosemead Municipal Code Section 10.24 Regarding Private
Bus Operations
Following discussion by the Traffic Commission and City Council at multiple public meetings,
Ordinance No. 941, was approved on June 10, 2014 to mitigate adverse impacts on City
streets created by private buses. After implementing the new private bus regulations, the
City has received positive feedback from the public regarding a reduction in private bus
traffic and their related operational issues (i.e. litter, traffic and safety concerns, and parking
problems). However, the City has also received some feedback from some local businesses
Page 5 of 6
ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA
August 12, 2014
related to the unintended consequences created by the new regulations. Namely, some
local businesses (restaurants and gift shops) that derive sales from tour bus patrons have
expressed concerns regarding reduced business activity. In order to minimize some of these
unintended consequences, the City is exploring ways to amend the ordinance that could help
these local businesses.
Potential modifications to Ordinance No. 941 could include provisions to allow private buses
to stop on City streets during certain late aftemoon and evening hours if the bus operator can
produce an appointment itinerary and passenger roster to patronize specific businesses (i.e.,
restaurants, gift shops).
Recommendation: That the City Council review this matter and provide direction to staff.
