6 9 ° ROSEMEAD TRAFFIC COMMISSION
CIVIC PRIDE STAFF REPORT
/NCORPORATEO''
TO: TRAFFIC COMMISSION
FROM: KATHY GARCIA, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
DATE: APRIL 06, 2017
SUBJECT: REQUEST TO INSTALL PARKING RESTRICTIONS —
7715 GARVEY AVENUE
BACKGROUND
The Traffic Commission has received a request from the business owner of Advanced
Radiology at 7715 Garvey Avenue to paint the curb on the east and west side of the driveway
with red. The business owner stated that vehicles parked along the curb immediately adjacent
to the east and west side of the driveway at 7715 Garvey Avenue block the view of oncoming
traffic for vehicles attempting to exit the premises and prohibits large vehicles, from
maneuvering in or out of the premises. The curb in front of the business east of the driveway is
approximately 57-feet in length, this would accommodate a maximum of three parking spaces
each 18-feet in length, which is the minimum length for a parking space established in
Standard Plans issued by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). The curb in
front of the business west of the driveway is approximately 156-feet in length, this would
accommodate a maximum of eight parking spaces each 18-feet in length.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Traffic Commission proposes to City Council that 3-feet of red curb
be painted on the east and west side of the driveway apron. This will increase visibility of
approaching traffic for vehicles and trucks attempting to exit the premises. Painting 3-feet of
red curb will not affect the number of parking spaces along the sections of available curb.
ANALYSIS
Garvey Avenue: Garvey Avenue is classified as a major arterial roadway and is approximately
75-feet wide with a posted speed limit of 35 MPH. There are two travel lanes in each direction
and an 11-foot wide median directly in front of the business at 7715 Garvey Avenue. In this
area parking is permitted on both sides of Garvey Avenue for a 2-hour limit Monday thru
Saturday from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, except for street sweeping restrictions. Land use along this
area of Garvey Avenue is defined as medium commercial.

The business owner of Advanced Radiology at 7715 Garvey Avenue has expressed concerns
that vehicles are parking too close to the driveway apron blocking the view of oncoming traffic
for vehicles attempting to exit the premises and turn right onto Garvey Avenue and prohibits
large vehicles, like delivery and loading trucks, from maneuvering in or out of the premises.
Staff conducted a site visit and determined that the length of the curbs east and west of the
property's driveway are approximately 57-feet and 156-feet in length, respectively, and the
driveway is approximately 21-feet wide. By painting approximately 3-feet of red curb on the
east and west side of the driveway apron, visibility and accessibility issues will be mitigated
without any significant parking implications.
PUBLIC NOTICE PROCESS
Notifications of the proposed improvements were distributed to affected residents and
businesses within a 300-foot radius of the location.
