That weight limit signs presently located at the inter- sections of Rosemead Place and Whitmore Street, Rosemead Place and Garrett Street, and Rosemead Place and Earls- wood Drive be removed. That these signs be reinstalled at the intersections of: 1.) Ramona Blvd. and Ivar Avenue to prevent heavy traffic from using the residential streets south of Ramona Blvd. as thoroughfares. This merely channels southbound heavy traffic coming off at the freeway over to Rosemead Blvd. and away from the residential streets that go through to Garvey Blvd. A vehicle under present circumstances can- not legally do this anyway since the existing sign at Earlswood Drive and Rosemead Place prevent further pas- sage south. The recommended change will eliminate the existing "trap" at-this location. 2.) Whitmore.Street and Sullivan Avenue to channel heavy traffic directly to the nearest major street (Garvey Blvd.) from the industrial area on Driggs Street. This traffic will have the right to access to the plant over local streets since no other exists. Costs for this work should be approximately $50.00. It was moved by Jackman, second by Stead, that the Council approve this recommendation and give authorization to proceed immediately. Roll call vote as follows: Ayes: Andersen, Jackman, Stead. Noes: None. Absent: Lowrey, Phinney. RESOLUTION NO. 60-78. CLAIMS AND DEMANDS.
