ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
FROM: FRANK G. TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGE!_.
DATE: JUNE 16, 1998
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR RED CURB IN FRONT OF 8706 E. GARVEY AVENUE -
YTNG LAN AUTO BODY CENTER
DISCUSSION
Staff received a request from Mr. Tony Tan of Ying Lan Auto Body Center to install red curb in front
of his business and to provide parking for approximately one vehicle. The concern is that large
delivery trucks parked in front of the Auto Body Center have made it difficult to access the driveway
and see the Auto Body Center. These trucks are making deliveries to the business, Dai Pong, east
of the Auto Body Center. Mr. Tan has attempted to discuss this situation with Dai Pong
representatives, however, without success.
On the several occasions staff reviewed the location, there were no delivery trucks in front of the
Auto Body Center. Such deliveries to many businesses are often unscheduled and random. Staff did
identify some vehicles parked in the vicinity and which were often adjacent to the driveway access.
•
During the Traffic Commission meeting in May, members of the Commission requested staff review
the location with respect to the alley behind the Auto Body Center and Dai Pong. Staff review
determined that there was no direct access to the alley for either business. The Commission also
discussed the installation of signs instead of red curb.
In the June meeting,the Traffic Commission voted 3-0 to approve recommendation of the installation
of red curb in front of 8706 E. Garvey Avenue.
RECOMMENDATION
The Traffic Commission recommends that the City Council APPROVE the installation of red curb
in front of 8706 E. Garvey Avenue as shown on Figure 1 (Attachment "B").

RE: REQUEST FOR RED CURB IN FRONT OF 8706 E. GARVEY
AVENUE - YING LAN AUTO BODY CENTER
REQUEST
Mr. Tony Tan of Ying Lan Auto Body Center is requesting the installation of red
curb in front of his business. Mr. Tan indicates large delivery trucks park in front
of the Auto Body Center making it difficult to access the driveway and see the Auto
Body Center. These trucks are making deliveries to the business, Dai Pong, east
of the Auto Body Center. He has tried to discuss this situation with Dai Pong
representatives without success.
CONDITIONS
Ying Lan Auto Body Center is located on the south side of Garvey Avenue east
of Bartlett Avenue. The Auto Body Center shares a driveway with Dai Pong.
Figure 1 depicts the area in front of the Auto Body Center and Dai Pong.
Figure 1 indicates approximately 75 feet of available curb exists in front of the Auto
Body Center and Dai Pong. There are two parking restrictions posted "No Parking
Tuesday - Friday, 2AM - 6AM" and "2 Hour Parking 7AM - 6PM" in this vicinity of
Garvey Avenue.
DATA
The reported accident data was reviewed for the area on Garvey Avenue east of
Bartlett Avenue. The reporting period reviewed was from January 1 , 1994 through
September 30, 1997. Four reported accidents were identified during this period.
It appears that at least two of these accidents may be related to the shared
driveway of the Auto Body Center and Dai Pong. These accidents are
summarized below:

parking in front of the Auto Body Center. However, deliveries to many businesses
are often unscheduled and random. Staff did identify some vehicles parked in the
vicinity and often adjacent to the driveway access.
Mr. Tan has requested that red curb be installed in front of his business and
provide parking for approximately one vehicle. Based on existing conditions
including the location of a fire hydrant, parking for one vehicle can be
accommodated.
RECOMMENDATION
The installation of red curb in front of 8706 E. Garvey Avenue is recommended as
depicted in Figure 1 .

FIGUEE I
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRMAN
AND MEMBERS
ROSEMEAD TRAFFIC COMMISSION
FROM: JOANNE ITAGAKI, DEPUTY TRAFFIC ENGINEER I
DATE: MAY 19, 1998
RE: REQUEST FOR RED CURB IN FRONT OF 8706 E. GARVEY
AVENUE - YING LAN AUTO BODY CENTER - FOLLOW-UP
DISCUSSION
The Traffic Commission tabled this item during the May Commission meeting. The
Commission requested staff review the location with respect to the alley cehind the
Auto Body Center and Dai Pong.
Staff field reviewed the Auto Body Center, Dai Pong and the alley located behind
these businesses. The alley ends approximately 100 feet east of Bartlett Avenue.
Directly behind the Auto Body Center and Dai Pong are existing residential homes.
Therefore, there is no direct access to the alley for either business.
The Traffic Commission also suggested the installation of signs instead of redcurb.
The appropriate sign, should the Commission so choose, would be the installation
of "No Stopping Any Time" signs. Relocation of some existing signs would also
be necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
The installation of red curb in front of 8706 E. Garvey Avenue is recommended as
depicted in Figure 1.
