TC - Item 2C - Installation of Red Curb at 9241 Valley Boulevard M e("I l ROSEMEAD TRAFFIC COMMISSION CIVIC PRIDE STAFF REPORT j ' ,.irt it/NCORPORATE°'959 TO: TRAFFIC COMMISSION FROM: RAFAEL FAJARDO, P.E., CITY ENGINEER ,?-j(k. DATE: JANUARY 7, 2016 SUBJECT: INSTALLATION OF RED CURB — 9241 VALLEY BOULEVARD SUMMARY Staff has received a request to review accessibility to the plaza located at 9241 Valley Boulevard. The request indicates that based on vehicles being parked adjacent to the driveways, there is difficulty in making turns from this plaza due to the lack of visibility. The plaza has two driveways that are used for both entering and exiting the location and between the driveways is a curb that is approximately thirty (30) feet in length. It is proposed, to improve visibility for those entering and exiting the plaza, to install approximately 30 feet of red curb between the driveways and an additional fifteen (15) of red curb between the end of the easterly driveway and the property line. Staff Recommendation It is recommended that the Traffic Commission recommend to the City Council that red • curbing be installed in front of the commercial plaza at 9241 Valley Boulevard, with approximately 30' being installed the driveways and 15' between the easterly driveway and the property line. ANALYSIS Staff has received a request to review accessibility to the plaza located at 9241 Valley Boulevard. The request indicates that based on vehicles being parked adjacent to the driveways, there is difficulty in making turns from this plaza due to the lack of visibility. The plaza property has approximately 30 parking spaces and there is plentiful, unrestricted street parking available on Valley Boulevard. Frequently, as vehicles are parked close to the driveways of the property, it becomes difficult to see oncoming traffic when exiting. By installing approximately thirty (30) feet of red curbing between the two driveways and fifteen (15) feet of red curbing to the east of the property, visibility will be enhanced for motorists without significant parking implications. The installation of red curb will result in a net loss of two (2) parking spaces on Valley Boulevard. PUBLIC NOTICE PROCESS Notifications of the proposed improvements were distributed to effected residents and businesses within a 300 feet radius of the location. Attachments 1.
