PUBLIC COMMENT FROM THE AUDIENCE Please refer to public comment guidelines on the first page of this document. 2. CONSENT CALENDAR A. March 5, 2020 Minutes 3. NEW BUSINESS A. PARKING REVIEW ON MARSHALL STREET BETWEEN BARTLETT AVENUE AND MUSCATEL AVENUE SUMMARY Staff received a request from Traffic Commissioner Ornelas to review parking along Marshall Street between Bartlett Avenue and Muscatel Avenue. One of the concerns is that on the north side of Marshall Street between Muscatel Avenue and Dubonnet Avenue there is less than the required 18 feet of lane width to allow parking. In some instances, the lane is only 14'to 15' with no visible parking restriction signs. Parked vehicles create line of sight issues for residents exiting their driveway near the wash and disrupts the ability to see oncoming traffic. During drop off and pick up times for the school, parents are also parking along Marshall Street where there is insufficient lane width for parking and travel which essentially blocks visibility to approaching vehicles and potential pedestrians crossing the street. A traffic reviewwas conducted by Transtech Engineers, Inc. at the location and determined that red curb be installed along the north side of Marshall Street as well as parking restriction signs along the areas in the roadway where there is insufficient roadway width of 18 feet or more to allow for parking and a 10 foot travel lane. This will improve safety conditions for parked vehicles as well as improve visibility for pedestrians who may be crossing the street. STAFF RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Traffic Commission hold a public hearing and discuss the findings and direct staff to move forward with a recommendation to the City Council of: Installing red curbing on the North side of Marshall Street, from Muscatel Avenue West to Bartlett Avenue. B. LINE OF SIGHT REVIEW AT PALM MOTEL (8463 GARVEY AVENUE) SUMMARY Staff received a request from a business owner at Palm Motel to review visibility concerns in front of the Palm Motel's driveway, at 8463 Garvey Avenue. According to the business owner, there is restricted view of approaching vehicles due to parked cars next to the driveway when trying to exit the location. There is no existing red curb on either side of the parking lot exit. A line of sight review was conducted by Transtech Engineers, Inc. at the location and determined that red curb is recommended to be installed east of the driveway along the north side of Garvey Avenue in order to improve line of sight for vehicles exiting the Palm Motel. ROSEMEAD TRAFFIC COMMISSION STAFF RECOMMENDATION 6,2020 It is recommended that the Traffic Commission hold a public hearing and discuss the findings and direct staff to install the following improvements. 1. Based on AASHTO's guidelines for Stopping Sight Distance approximately 30' (feet) of red curb east of the driveway along the north side of Garvey Avenue is needed. This will allow vehicles exiting the Palm Motel driveway to see cars approaching WB on Garvey Avenue at 35 mph. This will remove approximately 1 parking space in front of the Palm Motel and still allow for 5 vehicles to park along of the curb in front of the adjacent business. 4. STAFF REPORTS 5. COMMISSIONER REPORTS 6. ADJOURNMENT The next regular meeting is scheduled for September 3, 2020 at the Rosemead City Hall, City Council Chambers, 8838 East Valley Boulevard.
