ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL

CIVIC PRIDE. STAFF REPORT
/MCORPORATED X59
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: JEFF ALLRED, CITY MANAGER IGj
DATE: NOVEMBER 24, 2015
SUBJECT: GARVEY AVENUE TRAFFIC & PARKING WORKSHOP
SUMMARY
The City Council will receive an update regarding a $2.3 million grant that has been
awarded Los Angeles County Metro to the City of Rosemead for Garvey Avenue
streetscape and roadway improvements. The grant is to be augmented by a City match
of approximately $1 million. These grant funds will be provided to the City in Fiscal Year
2020-21. On September 22, 2015, the City Council conducted a workshop on this topic
(Refer to Minutes—Attachment A). The Council workshop was followed by outreach
efforts to all businesses on Garvey Avenue providing notification of future impacts on
street parking (Refer to Notification letter and flyers—Attachment B).
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a motion to accept the Los Angeles
County Metro grant funding to be received in the year 2020.
UTILIZATION OF THE GRANT FUNDS
The Metro grant (along with the City match) would provide the City with funding for
streetscape and roadway improvements such as traffic signal upgrades, pedestrian
' safety improvements, transit bus furnishings, pedestrian level lighting, landscape
enhancements, and required pavement striping changes to provide for a peak-hours
third vehicle lane.
The street striping changes on Garvey Avenue would be from New Avenue on the west
to the Garvey Bridge on the east, to create three driving lanes for both westbound and
eastbound motorists during peak commuting hours. Signs would be posted to prohibit
street parking on Garvey Avenue only during peak commuting hours as follows:
• In the early morning hours, street parking on the north side of Garvey Avenue
would be prohibited for westbound traffic between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.,
and
• In the evening hours, street parking on the south side of Garvey Avenue
would be prohibited for eastbound traffic between 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.

Taller de trafico y estacionamiento en la Avenida de Garvey
La Ciudad de Rosemead esta considerando aceptar financiacion en forma de subvencion de Los Angeles County
Metro en el ano 2020. La subvencion de Metro resultaria en cambios en las rayas viales de los carriles en
Garvey Avenue para crear tres carriles de circulacion vehicular permitiendoles a los automovilistas conducir
hacia el oeste y hacia el este unicamente durante horas punta de circulacion vehicular.
Si la Ciudad aceptara la financiacion en forma de subvenciones se colocarian senales en el 2020 indicando
restricciones de estacionamiento en la Avenida Garvey unicamente durante horas punta de circulacion
vehicular temprano en la manana y en la noche. Especificamente, a partir del ano 2020, el estacionamiento en el
lado norte de Garvey Avenue se prohibiria para el transito que circule por la manana hacia el oeste entre las 6:00
a.m. y 9:00 a.m.; asimismo, se prohibiria el estacionamiento en el lado sur de Garvey Avenue para el
transito que circule por la noche hacia el este entre las 4:00 pm y 7:00 p.m.
Si tiene alguna pregunta o inquietud referente a estos posibles cambios en Garvey Avenue que puedan
implementarse en el ano 2020, usted podra:
