CC - Item 5G - Review of Traffic Conditions at Lawrence Avenue between Muscatel Avenue and Ivar Avenue E M F S p � 9 ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL PH:�E STAFF REPORT /��RPORA� O TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: BILL R. MANIS, CITY MANAGER�v DATE: SEPTEMBER 12, 2017 SUBJECT: REVIEW OF TRAFFIC CONDITIONS AT LAWRENCE AVENUE BETWEEN MUSCATEL AVENUE AND IVAR AVENUE SUMMARY The Traffic Commission received a request from a resident to review traffic conditions on Lawrence Avenue between Muscatel Avenue and Ivar Avenue. The resident is concerned with vehicles speeding and the safety of children attending Muscatel Middle School. On August 3, 2017, the Traffic Commission reviewed the traffic conditions and recommended the installation of school speed limit signs along Lawrence Avenue. DISCUSSION Staff reviewed a residential request for the installation of traffic calming measures along Lawrence Avenue between Muscatel Avenue and Ivar Avenue with Transtech Engineering, a City approved Traffic Engineering consulting firm. Based on a Radar Speed Survey, conducted by Transtech Engineering, it was determined that there is a slight speeding issue along Lawrence Avenue. Therefore, it was recommended that "School Speed Limit Assembly C" signs be installed on Lawrence Avenue to remind motorist of the speed limit, that they are within a school zone, and to slow down. Lawrence Avenue is a residential street that is approximately 30-feet wide and has a presumed speed limit of 25 miles per hour. There are no existing marked centerline or posted speed limit signs along Lawrence Avenue. Parking is permitted on both sides of Lawrence Avenue, except for street sweeping restrictions. There is a distance of approximately 595-feet along Lawrence Avenue between Muscatel Avenue and Ivar Avenue. Land use along Lawrence Avenue is defined as single-family residential. Muscatel Middle School is on the south side of Lawrence Avenue between Muscatel Avenue and Ivar Avenue. Lawrence Avenue at Muscatel Avenue forms a "T" intersection, is uncontrolled in the northbound and southbound direction, and "STOP"controlled in the westbound direction. There is a strip of circular non-reflective raised pavement markers on the south leg of the Lawrence Avenue and Muscatel Avenue intersection to warn motorists of the approaching intersection and ITEM NUMBER: 5E7 City Council Meeting September 12,2017 Page 2 of 5 any potential crossing pedestrians. Lawrence Avenue at Ivar Avenue also forms a "T" intersection, is uncontrolled in the northbound and southbound direction, and "STOP" controlled in the eastbound direction. There is a yellow striped marked crosswalk on the west leg of the Lawrence Avenue and Ivar Avenue intersection. STAFF RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve the Traffic Commission's recommendation to install "School Speed Limit Assembly C" (SR4-1) signs on Laurence Avenue east of Muscatel Avenue for eastbound traffic and west of Ivar Avenue for westbound traffic.
