TC - Item 3A - Installation of Red Curb - New Avenue and Egley AvenueROSEMEAD TRAFFIC COMMISSION
TO: TRAFFIC COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
FROM: MATT HAWKESWORTH, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER/
ACTING PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
DATE: AUGUST 6, 2015
SUBJECT: INSTALLATION OF RED CURB— NEW AVENUE AND EGLEY AVENUE
SUMMARY
The Traffic Commission has received a request to review traffic conditions and accessibility
at the intersection of New Avenue and Egley Avenue. A resident expressed concern over
accessibility to their driveway and the safety of turn movements being made from New
Avenue onto Egley Avenue due to a lack of visibility created by vehicles parking on the
curb. The section of curb on New Avenue at the southeast corner of the intersection with
Egley Avenue is fifteen (15) feet in length, which is below the minimum length of eighteen
(18) feet for a parking space established in the Standard Plans issued by the California
Department of Transportation (Caltrans). Vehicles that park along this curb often end up
encroaching upon the adjacent driveway or the intersection causing unsafe conditions.
Staff has reviewed this site and has determined that by installing approximately fifteen (15)
feet of red curb to restrict parking in this area, accessibility and visibility issues will be
mitigated.
Staff Recommendation
It is recommended that the Traffic Commission recommend to the City Council that fifteen
(15) feet of red curb be added to New Avenue at the southeast corner of Egley Avenue.
ANALYSIS
A request was received concerning accessibility and safety at the intersection of New
Avenue and Egley Avenue due vehicles parked on the southeast corner of the intersection.
The section of curb on New Avenue at the southeast corner of the intersection with Egley
Avenue is fifteen (15) feet in length, which is below the minimum length of eighteen (18)
feet for a parking space established in the Standard Plans issued by the California
Department of Transportation (Caltrans).
The parked vehicles at this corner frequently encroach into the adjacent driveway or into
the intersection of New Avenue and Egley Avenue creating unsafe conditions. When
vehicles are parked as to encroach into the intersection, they cause visibility issue for
vehicles turning onto eastbound Egley from northbound New and cause the vehicles to
make a wide turning movement in order for them to see. Staff has reviewed this site and
has determined that by installing approximately fifteen (15) feet of red curb to restrict
parking in this area, accessibility and visibility issues will be mitigated.

There is a small, unsafe, parking spot in front of an empty lot on New Ave before Egley Ave. I'm not sure
'd it is legal to park there because it is in front of school property. Furthermore, it makes for unsafe and
wide right turns onto Egley Ave and on numerous occasions, citizens have parked and prevented access'.
to the neighboring house by not clearing the driveway and have even blocked the driveway entirely at one
point. I was wondering if it were possible to restrict parking here.
