TC - Item 2B - Keep Clear Markings - Garvey Avenue/Willard Avenue s F ROSEMEAD TRAFFIC COMMISSION CIVIC PRIDE STAFF REPORT /NCDRPORAT EO''''' __________; TO: TRAFFIC COMMISSION FROM: MATTHEW HAWKESWORTH, ACTING DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS DATE: APRIL 2, 2015 SUBJECT: KEEP CLEAR MARKINGS — GARVEY AVENUE/WILLARD AVENUE SUMMARY A request was received for the Traffic Commission to review traffic conditions and access at the intersection of Willard Avenue and Garvey Avenue. Motorists expressed concern regarding the backup of vehicles on eastbound Garvey Avenue blocking the intersection at Willard Avenue and making it difficult for vehicles to enter and exit Willard from Garvey Avenue. Staff Recommendation It is recommended that the Traffic Commission recommend to the City Council the installation of "Keep Clear" pavement markings with limit lines in the eastbound travel lanes of Garvey Avenue at the intersection of Willard Avenue. ANALYSIS Garvey Avenue is approximately 75 feet wide with two traffic lanes for both east and westbound traffic. Opposing lanes of traffic are separated by a two-way left turn lane. Restricted Parking is available on both sides of Garvey Avenue, Garvey Avenue is a main arterial road through the San Gabriel Valley and experiences heavy traffic during the daily commute hours. Willard Avenue is a residential street that is approximately 33 feet wide. The posted speed limit on Garvey Avenue is 35 mph. Garvey Avenue has several high volume commercial businesses and heavy traffic volumes, including a large volume of transit buses. Approximately 26,000 vehicles travel along Garvey Avenue through the intersection at Walnut Grove Avenue daily. When the traffic signal at Walnut Grove and Garvey changes for traffic on Walnut Grove Avenue, eastbound traveling vehicles on Garvey often queue and block the intersection at Willard Avenue. Field observations were made at this location in early morning and early afternoon hours during a regular weekday. Traffic congestion was moderate to heavy at both times. It was observed that during peak travel times, vehicle delay/congestion on Garvey Avenue can cause delays for vehicles entering/exiting the residential neighborhood on Willard Avenue. Traffic Commission Meeting April 2,2015 Page 2 of 2 In order to improve vehicle access and improve safety for left turning vehicles, it is recommended that "Keep Clear" pavement markings be added in eastbound travel lanes with limit lines on Garvey Avenue at the intersection of Willard Avenue. These markings will help provide a gap to allow residents to easily turn onto Garvey Avenue. Photographs of the existing conditions are included for further review.
