TC - Item 3A - Request for Installation of Red Curb at 2488 Jackson Ave
ROSEMEAD TRAFFIC COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
TO: TRAFFIC COMMISSION
FROM: REY ALFONSO, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
DATE: JUNE 6, 2019
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR INSTALLATION OF RED CURB AT 2488 JACKSON AVENUE
SUMMARY
Staff has received a request from a resident for an extension of red curb on the southeast corner of Jackson
Avenue and Garvalia Avenue at 2488 Jackson Avenue, The resident’s concern describes that cars parked
on the southeast corner of Jackson Avenue obstruct the view of oncoming northbound vehicles for
westbound stopped vehicles on Garvalia Avenue.
Vehicles parked on the southeast corner of Jackson Avenue and Garvalia Avenue are parked on the
eastside of Jackson Avenue south of Garvalia Avenue. The curb parking extends approximately 65-feet
south from the existing ~10 feet of red curb to the first driveway south of Garvalia Avenue (2482-2484
Garvalia Avenue). The 65-feet of available parking accommodates 3 parking spaces of 20-feet in length,
which is the minimum length for a parking space established in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic
Control Devices. Extending the red curb south a distance of 15-feet would leave 50-feet in length of
available parking which would accommodate 2 parking spaces.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Traffic Commission approve the extension of 15 feet of red curb on the eastside
of Jackson Avenue at 2488 Jackson Avenue to improve visibility of northbound oncoming traffic.
ANALYSIS
A resident has expressed a concern that vehicles are parking too close on the southeast corner of Jackson
Avenue and Garvalia Avenue obstructing the view of oncoming northbound vehicles for westbound
stopped vehicles on Garvalia Avenue.
Jackson Avenue is approximately 38-feet wide in a single-family residential neighborhood. Opposing
lanes of traffic on Jackson Avenue are separated by a skip yellow centerline. There are painted
parking/edgelines on both sides of Jackson Avenue. Parking is permitted on both sides of the street and
currently is unrestricted with the exception of certain hours every week for street sweeping.
