/�CORPORATED I°
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: GLORIA MOLLEDA, CITY MANAGER 1.A
DATE: MARCH 24, 2020
SUBJECT: TRAFFIC COMMISSION RECOMMENDED STREET IMPROVEMENTS
TO THE INTERSECTION OF EVELYN AVENUE AND EMERSON
PLACE
SUMMARY
On February 6, 2020, a traffic study with several recommendations was presented to the Traffic
Commission which included adding two (2) additional streetlights at the intersection to improve
the visibility of the crosswalk. After significant deliberation, the Traffic Commission voted 4-0
to alternatively recommend the installation of crosswalk signing, pavement markings, and red
curbing at the subject intersection. The recommended work would be carried out by Public
Works Field Services staff. The materials and supplies required to fulfill and complete the
recommended work would utilize existing City inventory and if necessary, the approved Fiscal
Year 2019-2020 Traffic Signs & Markers budget.
BACKGROUND ,
On June 3, 2019, Task Order #2019-03 was initiated by staff to assess with the feasibility of
installing an all-way stop sign at the intersection of Emerson Place and Evelyn Avenue to
address concerns of speeding from area residents and members of the church adjacent to the
intersection. Willdan Engineering submitted the lowest responsive proposal and was selected to
perform the analysis and provide recommendations related to the task order.
At the Traffic Commission Meeting on October 3, 2019, a petition was introduced to the Traffic
Commission signed by 85 people requesting the installation of an all-way stop sign at the subject
intersection (Attachment A). During the same meeting, Willdan personnel relayed to the Traffic
Commission that the warrants did not meet the criteria for the installation of an all-way stop sign
(Attachment B). The Traffic Commission, understanding that an all-way stop sign was not
recommended, requested another study be commissioned that would provide an analysis on the
lighting of the area and other potential mitigations that could be implemented at the intersection.

City Council Meeting

DISCUSSION
During the February 6, 2020, Traffic Commission Meeting, Farhad Iranitalab, Traffic Engineer
for Willdan Engineering, gave a presentation of the traffic study regarding the installation of
lighting at the intersection of Emerson Avenue and Evelyn Place (Attachment C and D).
Mr. Iranitalab recommended the following improvements for the intersection:
1. Install two additional streetlights at the intersection, one on the northeast and one on the
southeast corner, at an estimated cost of$5,000 per streetlight.
2. Install signing and pavement markings to improve the advanced awareness of the
crosswalk for traffic on Emerson Place.
The Traffic Commission, after significant deliberation, voted to amend Mr. Iranitalab's
recommendation. The Traffic Commission had a concern that the cost estimate for the
streetlights was too low and that the streetlights would do little to mitigate speeding.
The Traffic Commission voted 4-0 to recommend the City Council authorize the following:
1. Install signing and pavement markings as shown in Attachment D to improve the
advanced awareness of the crosswalk for traffic on Emerson Place.
2. Install red curbing on the southeast and northeast corners of Evelyn Avenue and Emerson
Place (Attachment E).
TRAFFIC COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Traffic Commission recommends to the City Council authorize the approval for the
following mitigations to the intersection of Evelyn Avenue and Emerson Place:
1. Install signing and pavement markings as shown in Attachment D to improve the
advanced awareness of the crosswalk for traffic on Emerson Place.
2. Install red curbing on the southeast and northeast corners of Evelyn Avenue and Emerson
Place (Attachment E).

and supplies required to complete the recommended work. If necessary, additional materials and
supplies for the recommended work can be purchased at a minimal expense under the approved

Petition — Request for a 4-way stop at

Subject: Request for 4 way stop at Emerson PI and Evelyn
Hello Mr. Chris Daste
Our new temple, Wei Mountain Temple, is at the corner of Emerson Place and Evelyn. I am writing to ask
for your input on how do we go about requesting a 4 way stop at this intersection.
There have been 2 automobile accidents recently, both resulted in fatality; one also caused damage to
our property. On 10/28/18 a stolen car hit another car at this intersection. The,second car knocked down
our fence and injured a homeless man who was sitting at the corner. He died in the hospital 10 days later.
Then on 11/13/18, a neighbor came back home in a taxi and was run down by a car driving on Emerson
and died in the hospital a few days later. This happened just across from Master's house which is next
door to the temple parking lot.
The major problem is that there's a stretch of several blocks on Emerson Place, where there are no stop
signs and drivers race downhill going east(there's a slight decline)to get to the light at Del Mar. To
complicate matters, there is now and will continue to be, additional foot traffic and cars coming into this
intersection, as we move all of our activities to our new temple. We have limited parking available and
people will have to park nearby on the residential streets and walk over. We need motorists in all 4
directions, to come to a full stop as people cross the road to worship.
We are very concerned for the safety of our neighbors and our community and feel strongly that
something must be done to curb reckless driving at this intersection. Could you please direct us as to how
to proceed with our request?
Thanks so much for your assistance.
With our very best,
Vickie Sprout
on behalf of Master YongHua and Bodhi Light International
PS: Please see attached list of name and signature of our concerned citizen in the City of Rosemead and
from the surrounding city who comes to this temple for worship.

STAFF REPORT

TO: TRAFFIC COMMISSION
FROM: CHRIS DASTE, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
DATE: OCTOBER 3, 2019
SUBJECT: REVIEW OF TRAFFIC CONDITIONS AT THE INTERSECTION OF
EMERSON PLACE AND EVELYN AVENUE
SUMMARY
Staff has received requests to review the traffic conditions at the intersection of Emerson Place
and Evelyn Avenue. The request is for installation of Stop signs on the eastbound and westbound
directions of Emerson Place at Evelyn Avenue. A study was conducted by Willdan Engineering
at the location. The study included a Stop warrant analysis to determine if the installation of an
all-way Stop control is appropriate. The intersection did not satisfy the warrants; it did not meet
the minimum thresholds for the installation of an all-way Stop controlled intersection.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends utilizing both option 1 and option 2 which is:
Option 1-
Install fluorescent yellow green (FYG) Ped Xing signs at the crosswalk (WI1-2 with W16-7P
signs) with Yield Here to Peds signs (R1-5 sign) and yield lines to help alert drivers of the
pedestrian crossing. This installation would be for both the eastbound and westbound
approaches of Emerson Place at Evelyn Avenue
Option 2-
Install FYG Ped Xing signs (W11-2) in advance of the crosswalk with PED XING pavement
markings. These signs would provide advanced warning of the pedestrian crossing. This
installation would be for both the eastbound and westbound approaches of Emerson Place at
Evelyn Avenue. Option 1 could be implemented with this option.
DISCUSSION
Emerson Place and Evelyn Avenue is a residential intersection that is within walkable proximity
to Duff Elementary School, Garvey Park, Emerson Elementary School and spiritual institutions.
Traffic Commission Meeting
October 3, 2019
Page 2 of 6
Emerson Place is approximately 36 feet wide and has a white crosswalk on the western leg of the
intersection with Evelyn Avenue. This crosswalk is identified with yellow pedestrian crossing
signs at the intersection of Evelyn Avenue. There is a double yellow centerline stripe on the east
leg of Emerson Place while the west leg provides a single yellow skip striping. On-street
parking is generally allowed on Emerson Place except during street sweeping times. The posted
speed limit on Emerson Place is 30 miles per hour(mph).
Evelyn Avenue is approximately 36 feet wide and is Stop controlled in both the northbound and
southbound directions at Emerson Place. There is no pavement striping on Evelyn Avenue. On-
street parking is generally allowed on Evelyn Avenue except during street sweeping times. The
prima facie speed limit on Evelyn Avenue is 25 mph.
There are sidewalks on both sides of the streets with ADA ramps on all four corners of the
intersection of Emerson Place and Evelyn Avenue. Attachment 1 provides and aerial view of
the intersection of Emerson Place and Evelyn Avenue.
Warrant Study Analysis
A field investigation and counts were conducted at the intersection of Emerson Place and Evelyn
Avenue on May 30, 2019 while school was in session. Both turning movement counts and
pedestrian activities were collected at the intersection. Based on the analysis of these counts, the
peak hour of traffic movements are as follows:

Recommendation Options
The intersection of Emerson Place and Evelyn Avenue did not satisfy the minimum volume,
collision, nor other criteria that would warrant an all-way Stop control per CA MUTCD. Since the
crosswalk on Emerson Place is used moderately with one reported pedestrian collision between
2015-2018,there are several options to consider:
1. Install fluorescent yellow green (FYG) Ped Xing signs at the crosswalk (W11-2 with W16-
7P signs)with Yield Here to Peds signs (R1-5 sign) and yield lines to help alert drivers of
the pedestrian crossing. This installation would be for both the eastbound and westbound
approaches of Emerson Place at Evelyn Avenue.
2. Install FYG Ped Xing signs (W11-2)in advance of the crosswalk with PED XING
pavement markings. These signs would provide advanced warning of the pedestrian
crossing. This installation would be for both the eastbound and westbound approaches of
Emerson Place at Evelyn Avenue. Option 1 could be implemented with this option.
3. Remove the white crosswalk and yellow pedestrian crossing signs. Based on the number of
pedestrians crossing the intersection, consideration could be made to remove this marked
crosswalk. It should be noted, studies have shown that pedestrians are generally more
aware of vehicles when crossing a street without a marked crosswalk. The removal of the
crosswalk does require the City to notice the removal to the public for their input. See
California Vehicle Code Section 21950.5.

STAFF REPORT
.....:
TO: TRAFFIC COMMISSION
FROM: GLORIA MOLLEDA, CITY MANAGER
DATE: FEBRUARY 6, 2020
SUBJECT: REVIEW OF TRAFFIC CONDITIONS AT THE INTERSECTION OF
EMERSON PLACE AND EVELYN AVENUE
SUMMARY
Staff received requests to review the traffic conditions at Emerson Place and Evelyn Avenue. The request
was for the City to install all-way stop Signs at the intersection in order to improve the safety. A Traffic
Study was conducted by Willdan Engineering at the location and the results were presented to Traffic
Commission on October 3, 2019. The study did not recommend the installation of all-way stop because
it did not meet the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Device (MUTCD) requirements and was not
warranted. At the October meeting the commissioners requested staff to expand the study to include
analysis to determine if the lighting is adequate or it could be improved.
Willdan Engineering evaluated the lighting conditions at the intersection and determined that the lighting
can be upgraded to improve the visibility of pedestrians and bicyclists crossing the Emerson Place.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended the Traffic Commission hold a public hearing and discuss the findings and direct staff
to install the following improvements at the intersection of Emerson Place and Evelyn Avenue:
1. Install two additional street lights on the northeast and southeast corners of the intersection, as
shown on attachment 2. Street lights cost approximately $5000 a piece to install.
2. Install signing and pavement markings as shown on attachment 2 to improve the advanced
awareness of the crosswalk for traffic on Emerson Place.
DISCUSSION
Emerson Place is a two-lanes (one lane in each direction) residential collector with a posted speed limit
of 30 mph. Evelyn Avenue is a residential local road with a prima facia speed limit of 25 mph. The
intersection of Emerson Place and Evelyn Avenue-is within walkable proximity to Duff Elementary
Traffic Commission Meeting
February 6,2020
Page 2 of 6
School, Garvey Park, Ralph Waldo Emerson Elementary and spiritual institutions. Both streets are 36
feet wide.
Evelyn Avenue is stop controlled and has a crosswalk on the western leg of Emerson Place which
pedestrians utilize in order to reach the amenities on either side of the intersection. The photo on the next
page presents the existing conditions. As shown on the photo, there are three existing street lights that
provide lighting at the intersection.
Based on the industry standard,the recommended average-maintained illumination on the pavement at an
urban intersection for this type of roadway ranges between 0.8- and 1.8-foot candle and uniformity of 6
to 1. Willdan Engineering analysis indicate that the average illumination are as follows:

• In the middle of the intersection the average foot candle is 0.38 and uniformity is 9.5 to 1;
• At the west leg of the intersection the average foot candle is 1.14 and uniformity is 9.2 to 1;
• At the north leg of the intersection the average foot candle is 1.03 and uniformity is 5.7 to 1;
• At the east leg of the intersection the average foot candle is 0.85 and uniformity is 5.7 to 1;
• At the south leg of the intersection the average foot candle is 0.10
Traffic Commission Meeting
February 6,2020

Attachment 1 presents the illumination distribution at various points at the intersection. It should be noted
that uniformity of lumens on the pavement is the key for a good lighting. We propose to install two
additional street lights; one on the northeast corner of the intersection and one on the southeast corner of
the intersection as shown on attachment 2.
SUMMARY
The intersection of Emerson Place and Evelyn Avenue does not meet the minimum criteria that would
warrant an all-way stop control as per CA MUTCD. However,staff recommends installation of additional
street lights, signing and pavement marking to improve the visibility at the intersection.
