STAFF REPORT

CDRPORATED 1959
TO: TRAFFIC COMMISSION
FROM: MICHELLE G. RAMIREZ, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
DATE: DECEMBER 7, 2017
SUBJECT: INSTALLATION OF RED CURB — 5012 WALNUT GROVE AVENUE
SUMMARY
On September 25, 2017, City staff received a request from Talal Trabolsi of Jacobs
Engineering Group, the lead construction management company for the ACE Trench
Project for the Walnut Grove Avenue Crossing, for the extension of the existing 20-feet
red curb at 5012 Walnut Grove Avenue all the way to the rail road crossing, which is
approximately 100 additional feet. According to Mr. Trabolsi's request, this is needed due
to the installation of new striping as part of the ACE Trench Project, which will no longer
accommodate parking in this area (see Attachment 1).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Traffic Commission propose that the City Council extend the
existing 20-feet of red curbing at 5012 Walnut Grove Avenue to the rail road crossing,
approximately 100 additional feet.
ANALYSIS
A request was received from Jacobs Engineering Group, who is currently working on
Alameda Corridor Extension Project, to extend the existing red curb along the north bound
of Walnut Grove Avenue at 5012 Walnut Grove Avenue approaching the rail road
crossing. According to the request, the new striping does not accommodate parking
along this location.
Walnut Grove Avenue is a north-south arterial street that is approximately 60-feet wide
and allows for two-way traffic and restricted parking on both sides of the street (see
Attachment 2). The posted speed limit is 45 miles per hour. Traffic volume in this location
is moderate to heavy at times due in part to it being an arterial street, as well as its
proximity to major corporate centers, commercial areas, and the State Route 10 Freeway.
Staff has reviewed the site and determined that extending the red curb by approximately
100-feet is within the recommended distance to be clear of obstructions and provide a
clear path to vehicles driving north bound on Walnut Grove Avenue.

Jacobs Engineering's Request
Hi Rafael,
I work with Jacobs on the ACE Trench Project and we had the below two items for the Walnut
Grove Ave Crossing we were hoping to get input from the City of Rosemead. I spoke with your
inspector last Thursday to discuss and he felt it would be best to reach out to you.
1 - We will be installing 8" bollards to protect signal arms at the Walnut Grove crossing with the
railroad tracks. Our question is whether the City prefers any specific color or a sleeve to be
installed on the bollards.
2- We would like to extend out the red curb along NB Walnut Grove Ave (see attached picture)
approaching the crossing. The new striping does not accommodate parking along the street
and we have placed temporary no parking signs until we have authorization from City of
Rosemead to move forward with the red curb.
Please advise.
Talal Trabolsi, P.E.
