RE: RESOLUTION NO. 98-30 - ESTABLISHMENT OF TEMPLE CITY
BOULEVARD AS A PART OF THE SYSTEM OF HIGHWAYS OF THE
COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
The County proposes to synchronize traffic signals along Temple City Boulevard as part
of a Countywide program. The work within the City of Rosemead will include
modification and synchronization of the existing traffic signals and other appurtenant
work. The County has obtained a special allocation of Proposition C Discretionary
Grant funds to finance the majority of the project. Therefore, this project will be
implemented at no cost to the City.
As with the other synchronization projects in the City; on Valley Boulevard, Garvey
Avenue and San Gabriel Boulevard; the synchronization will utilize a time based
coordination system, radio corrected by a WWV receiver.
In order for the County to administer the project, the Board of Supervisors declared this
portion of Temple City Boulevard to be part of the County System of Highways for the
duration of the project and has found this project to be categorically exempt from the
i provisions of CEQA. The County asked, if we concur with their finding that the project is
categorically exempt, that the City adopt the attached resolution declaring Temple City
Boulevard a part of the County System of Highways. Staff concurs with the County's
findings.
