3. NEW BUSINESS
A. CONSIDERATION OF RED CURB PAINTING 9063 MISSION DRIVE ROSEMEAD HIGH SCHOOL
SUMMARY
During the August 14, 2018 City Council meeting, resident Chuck Lyons expressed concern that a safety condition
exists at 9063 Mission Drive. Mr. Lyons concern is that cars parked on Mission Drive near the west driveway of the
main parking lot block the visibility of vehicles traveling westbound on Mission Drive, which creates a hazard for vehicles
exiting the west driveway. The El Monte Union High School District Director of Risk Management & Safety, Roy Monge,
was contacted about this request and the attached letter from the District expresses their support of marking red, a
portion of the curb in front of the east parking lot. The total length of curb in front of the Rosemead High School main
parking lot is approximately 225-feet. At this distance, a red curb with a distance of 27-feet would allow 11 vehicles to
park in the remaining space during allowed times. Without the red curb, 12 vehicles would be able to park along that
same space. For reference, 18-feet are needed for one parking space as established in Standard Plans issued by the
California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended the Traffic Commission:
1. Discuss the item;
2. Receive and consider public comment, both written and oral; and
3. Provide direction on whether to propose to the City Council that 27-feet of curb be painted red at 9063 Mission
Drive.
4. OLD BUSINESS
A. DISCUSSION OF TRAFFIC CONDITIONS AT OLNEY STREET AND TEMPLE CITY BOULEVARD
SUMMARY
At the August 2, 2018 Traffic Commission meeting, the Commission requested that the above referenced item be
brought back for discussion.
On November 14, 2017, staff presented a recommendation to the City Council from the Traffic Commission, as
approved during the October 5, 2017, Traffic Commission meeting, relating to certain improvements to the 9600 block
of Olney Street. A resident had expressed a concern that vehicles traveling eastbound on Olney were not properly
alerted that they must enter the Interstate 10 West (I10 W) Freeway on-ramp. As a result, vehicles reversed their
direction by entering the driveways of residents near the end of that block and backing out onto Olney to head west.
ROSEMEAD TRAFFIC COMMISSION September 6, 2018
The Traffic Commission recommended, and the City Council approved additional signage, plastic delineators, and
pavement markings to alert drivers that there was no outlet onto Temple City Blvd. Subsequently, on April 26, 2018
the resident submitted a complaint that the new conditions were making the residents in the neighborhood vulnerable
to crime.
