CC - Item 5B - Klingerman Street/Angelus Avenue Intersection E M S O ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL CIVIC PRIDE STAFF REPORT /NCDRPORATED,09 TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: BILL R. MANIS, CITY MANAGER 3-12-- DATE: MAY 10, 2016 SUBJECT: KLINGERMAN STREET/ANGELUS AVENUE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS SUMMARY On February 9, 2016, the City Council reviewed Resolution 2016-07 and considered installation of All-Way "STOP" at the Klingerman/Angelus intersection. After receiving testimonies, the City Council asked that a public workshop be conducted to solicit community input. On March 15, 2016, the City held a public workshop, and received inputs from 14 attendees; the results of the workshop along with potential improvements are summarized herein. Staff Recommendation It is recommended that the City Council provide directions regarding the appropriate improvement measures for the Klingerman/Angelus intersection. DISCUSSION In September 2015, the City retained Willdan Engineering ("Willdan") to conduct a thorough traffic study for the intersection of Klingerman Street and Angelus Avenue, including vehicular and pedestrian traffic near Rice Elementary School. Specifically, the study is to address perceived safety concerns associated with speeding, as well as vehicles getting in/out of residential driveways in the intersection. On December 16, 2015, Willdan completed the traffic study (see Attachment 1), with technical findings for the intersection/curve as summarized below. • Install interlocking delineators and raised round markers along the curve at Klingerman Street and Angelus Avenue; and • Install additional "Chevron" sign(s) on each approach to the curve. On January 26, 2016, Willdan presented its technical findings to the City Council. After deliberation, the City Council directed staff to further review the intersection, and prepare a Resolution for installation of All-Way "STOP" at the Klingerman/Angelus intersection. On February 9, 2016, the City Council reviewed Resolution 2016-07 (see ITEM NO. 5.B City Council Meeting April 12,2016 Page 2 of 3 Attachment 2) for establishing All-Way "STOP" (See Attachment 3). After receiving residents' testimonies, the Council directed a public workshop be conducted to further solicit community input. On March 15, 2016, the City held a Community Workshop regarding the Klingerman/Angelus intersection at Rice Elementary School. All residences within approximately 500 feet radius of the subject intersection, and the school administrator were notified/invited to attend. A total of 19 residents (including Council Members and Commissioners) attended the Workshop, and 14 provided responses as tabulated below. QUESTIONS YES NO NOT SURE TOTAL 01 STOP Sign? 5 (35.7%) 8 (57.1%) 1 (7.1%) 14 Q2 Beautification? 8 (57.1%) 3 (21.4%) 3 (21.4%) 14 03 Signs Minimization? 8 (57.1%) 5 (35.7%) 1 (7.1%) 14 In summary, approximately 36% of the attendees are in favor of the "STOP" sign installation, and 57% not in favor. Additionally, a majority (57%) would like to see beautification and minimization of traffic signs in the vicinity. On March 22, 2016, the Mayor directed the item of Klingerman/Angelus intersection be placed on the next City Council meeting agenda. Improvement Measures To date, the City Council has been presented with two potential improvement measures (or options) for the Klingerman/Angelus intersection, as follows: • Measure 1 -- Install interlocking delineators, raised markers, and "Chevron" Signs. This measure is recommended by Willdan with the intent to calm traffic around the curve. However, the additional sign/delineator installation appears to contradict the Workshop results, that a majority of attendees desire beautification and sign minimization (Note that too many signs in closed proximity can be aesthetically unappealing). • Measure 2 -- Install All-Way "STOP". This measure is expected to enhance traffic safety and visibility for vehicles exiting their driveways near the intersection; however, it could induce additional delay for vehicles traveling through the intersection/curve. The "STOP" sign installation is likely to include complementary measures, such as removal of the existing centerline delineators and certain markings. A majority of the Workshop attendees are not in favor of the "STOP" installation, but are in favor of "beautification and sign minimization" — the later can be partially realized from the centerline delineator/marking removal.

December 16, 2015 Page 5 DATA The most recent 3-year reported traffic collision history (1/1/12-12/31/14) for Klingerman Street (east of Charlotte Avenue) and Angelus Avenue (north of Graves Avenue) indicates that there was only one reported collision on the curve. Based on the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) traffic collision data obtained from the California Highway Patrol, the collision occurred at the intersection of Klingerman Street and Charlotte Avenue on August 20, 2014, when one vehicle broadsided another vehicle causing only property damage (i.e., no injuries). Average daily traffic (24-hour directional) counts (Attachment A) were conducted on Thursday, November 5, 2015 at the following locations (see Exhibit 1): • Angelus Avenue between Graves Avenue and Klingerman Street • Klingerman Street between Angelus Avenue and Charlotte Avenue • Graves Avenue between Angelus Avenue and Charlotte Avenue • Charlotte Avenue between Graves Avenue and Klingerman Street • Gladys Avenue between Graves Avenue and Klingerman Street The heaviest approach volumes (over a one hour period) to the curve are as follows: • Eastbound Klingerman Street [421 vehicles per day (vpd), with 43 vehicles from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.] • Northbound Angelus Avenue (500 vpd, with 103 vehicles in from 7:45 a.m. to 8:45 a.m.) The majority of the northbound traffic on Angelus Avenue during the a.m. peak hour is likely due to parents dropping off their child at Rice Elementary School (start bell at 8:17 a.m.). During the afternoon pick-up time (end bell at 2:35 p.m.), the northbound volume is 79 vehicles between 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. Turning movement counts (Attachment B) at Angelus Avenue / Graves Avenue and San Gabriel Boulevard / Klingerman Street were also conducted on November 5, 2015. These counts (see Exhibit 2) indicate that the 83 vehicles from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. travel on northbound Angelus Avenue just north of Graves Avenue. These a. m. peak hour trips were comprised of trips from the following approaches: • Northbound Angelus Avenue Through Movement = 66 vehicles (80 percent) • Eastbound Graves Avenue Left Turn Movement = 17 vehicles (20 percent) Origin-destination surveys were conducted by recording the last four digits of the license plate on vehicles passing through at the following locations on November 5, 2015 from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and from 2:15 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. (Attachment C): • Angelus Avenue south of Graves Avenue • Klingerman Street between Gladys Avenue and Charlotte Avenue • Graves Avenue between Gladys Avenue and Charlotte Avenue or ® !

Approximately 41 and 20 drivers used this route during the 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and 2:15 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. survey period, respectively. Two vehicles that were documented during the a.m. period apparently used this route to depart the area during the 2:15 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. period. • Eastbound Klingerman Street (west of Charlotte Avenue) through the curve to southbound Angelus Avenue and then a right turn onto Graves Avenue = "Direction 6" (yellow line). Approximately 9 and 5 drivers used this route during the 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and 2:15 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. survey period, respectively. Radar speed surveys were conducted on the morning and the afternoon of November 5, 2015 on the approach and departure legs of the curve (Attachment D). As summarized in Exhibit 4, the highest 85th percentile speeds recorded on the approaches are as follows: • Northbound Angelus Avenue = 27 miles per hour (mph) during both one-hour survey periods (i.e., 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.) • Eastbound Klingerman Street = 31 mph from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. L .li . �� �=� 1nM KLINGERMAN STREET \ 1,-, .\\:,...j., :.;i:,.., . t . ,..___,.4,:_ilt- 1 NI - : l's. -7. :_.-1-.7.:■)-;* ";110.1_...1., lt,i': 67. . - i II .1,1. t '- - ` I � t J I . r ` Q 1-.. r- 1 - i `` i W ri "{' -rJ D ,...1 IML..., .

Such a closure (see Photo 7 for an example) would essentially make the Klingerman Street (just east of Charlotte Avenue) a one- way westbound approach to Charlotte Avenue. This half-closure is not recommended because it would divert a total of approximately 400 vehicles per day (vpd) onto the neighboring streets of Charlotte Avenue and/or Gladys Avenue between Klingerman Street and Graves Avenue. This alternative could be implemented in the northbound Angelus Avenue north of Graves Avenue. The half-closure in this direction would divert roughly 500 vpd onto Graves Avenue. e= iG sr: I Photo 7: Half-closure on Baldwin St in Santa Cruz. CA. (Source: Google Street View. circa 4/2015) A "full-closure" of the Klingerman Street/Angelus Avenue curve is not recommended. Such a closure would divert a total of 900 vpd onto nearby residential streets (approximately 400 vpd onto Charlotte Avenue and/or Gladys Avenue, as well as 500 vpd onto Graves Avenue). Supplemental Traffic Control Devices Photo 8 shows where a delineator is missing along the centerline of the curve. Most likely, the impact of a vehicle caused the delineator to dislodge. During the recording of the videos, no drivers were observed hitting any of the delineators or crossing the centerline. Photo 9 shows a type of "interlocking" delineators that can probably withstand the impact of a vehicle better than the current installation of "individual" delineators along the curve. If some more of the existing delineators get dislodged, the City should consider replacing them with the interlocking delineators. ►.tl l Photo 8:Screen shot of missing delineator from curve centerline.

Another traffic control device considered was a STOP control in the curve. However, a mid- block STOP control such as this is not standard and would not be considered at this location. As a comparison, the 2014 California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) provides guidelines for STOP control installations. The guidelines state STOP control should be considered at a minor intersection if there are at least five correctable collisions in a 3-year period. The Klingerman Street/Angelus Avenue curve is not a minor intersection and there were no reported collisions along the curve or its approaches for the recent 3-year period (1/1/12- 12/31/14). Adding STOP signs at the curve is not standard and is not justified as a measure to reduce collisions. Vehicular Speeds Based on field observations conducted on November 30, 2015, some northbound drivers on Angelus Avenue speed up to over 30 mph after stopping at Keim Street and then brake suddenly to negotiate the curve. This behavior could be a result of northbound drivers having two blocks (or - 900 feet between Keim Street and Klingerman Street) to accelerate before reaching the curve. Installing stop controls on Angelus Avenue at Graves Avenue would reduce this distance to approximately 500 feet, and likely reduce the amount of speeding on northbound (NB) Angelus Avenue between Graves Avenue and the curve. The MUTCD states that "STOP signs should not be used for speed control". Therefore, an analysis of Angelus December 16, 2015 Page 14 Avenue at Graves Avenue was conducted to determine if right-of-way issues between vehicles and/or pedestrians should be addressed with stop signs. STOP Control on Angelus Avenue at Graves Avenue The table below summarizes the criteria that will be used to evaluate the need for all-way STOP control. A. Collisions - Five or more reported crashes in a 12-month period that are susceptible to correction by a multi-way stop installation. Such crashes include right-turn and left-turn collisions as well as right-angle collisions. B. Minimum Volume and Delay 1. The vehicular volume entering the intersection from the major street approaches (total of both approaches) averages at least 300 vehicles per hour for any 8 hours of an average day; 2. and the combined vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle volume entering the intersection from the minor street approaches (total of both approaches) averages at least 200 units per hour for the same 8 hours, with an average delay to minor-street vehicular traffic of at least 30 seconds per vehicle during the highest hour. C. Other Criteria such as: 1. The need to control left-turn conflicts; 2. The need to control vehicle/pedestrian conflicts; 3. Locations where a road user, after stopping, cannot see conflicting traffic and is not able to negotiate the intersection unless conflicting cross traffic is also required to stop; 4. Characteristics where multi-way stop control would improve traffic operational characteristics of the intersection. Since there were not any reported collisions at the intersection of Angelus Avenue and Graves Avenue during the recent 3-year period (1/1/12-12/31/14), the collision criteria for all-way stop control was not met. From the turning movement and pedestrian counts (summarized on Exhibit 2), 316 vehicles entered the Angelus Avenue/Graves Avenue intersection from Angelus Avenue during afternoon peak hour (2:15 p.m. — 3: 15 p.m.), while 192 pedestrians crossed the north leg of Angelus Avenue and 53 vehicles entered the intersection from eastbound (EB) Graves Avenue. During this one hour period in the afternoon, the MUTCD minimum volume criteria (stated above) was met. However, it is not likely that this criteria (minimum 300 vph) was met any other hour of the day since there were only 198 vehicles on Angelus Avenue that entered the intersection during the morning peak hour (7:30 a.m. — 8:30 a.m.). As for the other criteria, there is a substantial amount of left-turn conflicts at the intersection: • 89 Northbound (NB) Angelus Avenue Left-turns vs. 181 pedestrians crossing west leg of Graves Avenue from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. • 52 NB Angelus Avenue Left-turns vs. 255 pedestrians crossing west leg of Graves Avenue from 2:15 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. December 16, 2015 Page 15 There is also a substantial amount of vehicle/pedestrian conflicts at the crosswalk across the north leg of Angelus Avenue: • 43 vph on Southbound (SB) Angelus Avenue + 155 vph on NB Angelus Avenue vs. 76 pedestrians from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. • 26 vph on SB Angelus Avenue + 92 vph on NB Angelus Avenue vs. 192 pedestrians from 2:15 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. The installation of STOP signs on Angelus Avenue at Graves Avenue would create an all-way stopped intersection. This would condition drivers on northbound and southbound Angelus Avenue to stop all the time, and not just during the periods of a school day when the crossing guard is present. This implementation of STOP signs would enhance safety at Angelus Avenue/Graves Avenue, because drivers fall into the habit of stopping all the time before entering the intersection and are less likely to collide with a crossing pedestrian. CONCLUSIONS Based on the evaluation provided, it is recommended the City install STOP signs on Angelus Avenue at Graves Avenue, for the following benefits: • Reduce the possibility of collisions involving NB-SB vehicles and pedestrians crossing the north leg • Reduce the possibility of collisions involving NB left-turns/SB right-turns and pedestrians crossing the west leg • Condition drivers on all approaches to stop before entering the intersection • Reduce speeds of vehicles traveling NB on Angelus Avenue between Graves Avenue and the curve It is further recommended that additional traffic controls be installed along the curve including: • Interlocking delineators to replace current individual delineators and raised round markers along the centerline • Another chevron sign on each approach to the curve Thank you for the opportunity to be of continuing service to the City of Rosemead.
