Pursuant to your request for information concerning the additional traffic enforcement necessary should a commercial business be established in the vicinity of Whitmore and Driggs Streets in your City, I have asked Capt. C. H. Kuiper of my Temple Station to explore the matter He tells me the area of concern is bounded, generally, by Rosemead Boulevard to the east, Garvey Avenue on the south, Rosemead Place to the west and the San Bernardino Freeway to the north, and in order to reach this location it is necessary to travel via residential streets. The establishment of a commercial business in an area which has hereto- fore been residential will impose an additional burden on the traffic enforcement facilities, now minimal in your City, since it will be necessary for commercial vehicles, including possibly semi-trucks, to use streets designed and engineered for residential use. In addition to the commercial vehicle traffic, additional traffic congestion will be caused by personnel necessary for the operation of the plant. Sullivan and Whitmore Streets, both of which will likely be used for ingress and egress, are narrow streets without sidewalks and curbs. Therefore, it is necessary for any pedestrian to walk on the street. The natural increased vehicular travel on these streets is, of course, an added hazard because of the many children of school age and less who reside in the community. In summary, it has been the experience of this Department that when a commercial establishment is placed adjacent to a residential area, traffic congestion and the enforcement problem in the residential area increases. Sincerely, PETER J. PITCHESS, SHERIFF September 22, 1959 Mr. William Woollett, Jr., City Administrator City of Rosemead 3964 North Rosemead Boulevard Rosemead, California Dear Mr. Woollett: Subject: Request for Street Paving Information on Various Streets in the City of Rosemead • In compliance with your telephone request today to Mr. James Bandy of this Department, we are forwarding information relative to pavement and base material thickness on the following listed streets in your City: Street Paving Base Rosemead Place 3" 0" Sullivan Avenue - 500' south of Whitmore Street to Garrett Street 2" 0" -4- • • • " " Whitmore Street - Rosemead Place to Sullivan Avenue 2 0 Whitmore Street - Sullivan Avenue to Rubio Wash 1" 6" Sullivan Avenue - Garvey Avenue to 500' south of Whitmore Street 3" 4" Garrett Street 2" 9" Driggs Street 2" 6" Heglis Street 2" 6" • Under the provisions of Section 714 of the California Vehicle Code, which defines four inches of combined roadway material as being an improved roadway, weight reductions may be imposed on the first three streets of the above list of streets.
