FROM: DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS

SUBJECT: TRAFFIC REVIEW OF PARKING CONDITIONS AT 2239 SAN GABRIEL
BOULEVARD
SUMMARY
The City of Rosemead received a request from a business to evaluate the existing parking
conditions adjacent to 2239 San Gabriel Boulevard. The business representative reported that due
to the existing curb marking parking conditions near the business driveway entrances there is
limited line of sight when exiting or entering the business. Currently due to no red curb, vehicles
are parking right up to the driveway approach making it difficult to see oncoming traffic and
maneuver in and out of the driveway, also sometimes blocking the entrances.
The business representative has requested the City to evaluate installation of either red or green
curb to address the issue and limit the time that vehicles can park in this area.
On behalf of the City of Rosemead, engineering staff completed a traffic review to evaluate the
parking conditions near the business entrances adjacent to 2239 San Gabriel Boulevard and
recommended appropriate recommendations in response to this request.
ANALYSIS
The traffic review included an analysis of the existing roadway conditions near the business at
2239 San Gabriel Boulevard. The placement of all traffic control devices and measures are dictated
by engineering judgment and based on guidelines found in the CAMUTCD (California Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices) and the CVC (California Vehicle Code). The installation of all
official traffic control devices and measures is also based on an engineering review with
justification.
Existing Roadway Conditions:
San Gabriel Boulevard is a north/south principal arterial roadway and is approximately 83-feet
wide, with two lanes in each direction with a posted speed limit of 40 MPH. The roadway has a
two-way left turn lane separating opposing traffic along San Gabriel Boulevard. Parking along
both sides (east and west sides) of San Gabriel Boulevard is restricted to 2-hour parking from
7:00am—6:00pm, except on Sunday. Land use through this segment of San Gabriel Boulevard is

a mix of Industrial/Commercial and Medium Density Residential.
Constance Street is an east/west local roadway and is approximately 34-feet wide, with one lane
in each direction and no marked centerline to separate opposing traffic along Constance Street.
Constance Street has a prima facie speed limit of 25 MPH. Parking along both the north side and
the south side of Constance Street is allowed, except on Fridays from 10:00am to 2:00pm due to
street sweeping. Constance Street does not allow Trucks over 3 Tons as specified by the modified
No Trucks(Symbol) Sign(R5-2).Land use through this segment of Constance is a mix of Medium
Density Residential and Industrial/Commercial. There is also an existing green curb painted on the
opposite side of Constance Street between the curb return and stop sign in front of the Tire Shop
business at 8130 Constance Street.
After a thorough review of existing conditions, it is recommended that the curb located between
the business driveways and the existing green curb be painted red to deter vehicles from blocking
access to the business driveways. Before repainting the existing green curb to red curb, it is
recommended that the City contact the Tire Shop located at 8130 Constance Street and inform
them of the recommendations.
The installation of red curb will help prevent vehicles from blocking access to both driveways and
still allow for 46-feet of available curb space west of the business driveway for vehicles to park.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
After a thorough review of existing conditions, it is recommended that the curb located between
the business driveways and the existing green curb be painted red to deter vehicles from blocking
access to the business driveways pending contact with the Tire Shop located at 8130 Constance
Street. The placement of all traffic control devices is dictated by engineering judgment and based
on guidelines found in the CAMUTCD (California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices)
and the CVC (California Vehicle Code). The installation of all official traffic control devices is
also based on an engineering review with justification
A detailed traffic report and proposed figure diagram is attached as Attachment A to this staff
report, please refer to Figure 3 of Attachment A for the proposed recommendations diagram.
Below is a detailed list of the recommendations:
1. Install approximately 17-feet of red curb along the northside of Constance Street,between
driveway 1 and driveway 2 at 2239 San Gabriel Boulevard, per CAMUTCD Section
3B.19.
• The installation of red curb to the east of this business driveway number 1 will help
prevent vehicles from blocking access to both of the driveways. 17 feet is less than the
recommended space of 19' to 20' for a parked car. There will still be 46-feet of
available curb space west of the business driveway for vehicles to park.
2. Install approximately 10-feet of red curb along the northside of Constance Street,just east
of the business driveway number 2 at the NW corner of Constance Street and San Gabriel
Boulevard, per CAMUTCD Section 3B.19.

• The 10 feet of red curb is essentially in the curve of the corner and any parked vehicles
should not be parked here. The installation of red curb in this location will prevent
vehicles from blocking access to the business driveway as well as being an obstacle to
vehicles making a right turn into the street.
3. The existing field review found that there is an existing green curb painted on the opposite
side of Constance Street between the curb return and stop sign (Approx. 14-feet). It is
suggested that this curb should be red and not green,per CVC Section 22500;CAMUTCD
Section 3B.19. It is recommended for the City to contact the Tire Shop located at 8130
Constance Street to inform the business of this suggested recommendation.
• Change the curb to red and repainted the 14-feet of curb to red curb,just east of the tire
shop driveway located at 8130 Constance Street. The red curb is recommended to be
installed along the southside of Constance Street between the corner of Constance
Street at San Gabriel Boulevard and the existing Stop Sign.
• Before repainting the existing green curb to red curb, it is recommended that the City
contact the Tire Shop located at 8130 Constance Street and inform them of the
recommendations.

INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND
The City of Rosemead received a request to review the parking conditions adjacent to a local business
located at 2239 San Gabriel Boulevard.The business owner is concerned with the problematic blocking of
his driveways and entrance ways located west of San Gabriel Boulevard along Constance Street. The
owner stated that his business has experienced numerous occasions where vehicles belonging to
neighboring businesses and residents have blocked the entrance and exit from his establishment. The
owner is requesting that the City of Rosemead install Green or Red Curb in order to limit the time that
vehicles can legally park along Constance Street adjacent to the entrance/exits of his business. On behalf
of the City of Rosemead,engineering staff has completed a traffic review to evaluate the parking concerns
when attempting to exit the business driveway.The review is done to recommend appropriate measures
that would improve the line of sight when exiting from the driveway. The review included an analysis of
the existing roadway conditions currently located at 2239 San Gabriel Boulevard. Please refer to Figure 1

RECOMMENDATIONS
The placement of all traffic control devices is dictated by engineering judgment and based on guidelines
found in the CAM UTCD (California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices) and the CVC (California
Vehicle Code).The installation of all official traffic control devices is also based on an engineering review
with justification.After a thorough review of existing conditions, it is recommended that the curb located
between driveway Number 1 and Number 2 be painted red to deter vehicles from blocking access to the
business driveways. Please refer to Figure 3 for the proposed recommendations.
Below is a detailed list of the recommendations:
1. Install approximately 17-feet of red curb along the northside of Constance Street, between
driveway 1 and driveway 2 at 2239 San Gabriel Boulevard, per CAMUTCD Section 38.19.
• The installation of red curb to the east of this business driveway number 1 will help prevent
vehicles from blocking access to both of the driveways. 17 feet is less than the recommended
space of 19'to 20'for a parked car. There will still be 46-feet of available curb space west of
the business driveway for vehicles to park.
2. Install approximately 10-feet of red curb along the northside of Constance Street,just east of the
business driveway number 2 at the NW corner of Constance Street and San Gabriel Boulevard,
per CAMUTCD Section 3B.19.
• The 10 feet of red curb is essentially in the curve of the corner and any parked vehicles should
not be parked here. The installation of red curb in this location will prevent vehicles from
blocking access to the business driveway as well as being an obstacle to vehicles making a
right turn into the street.
3. The existing field review found that there is an existing green curb painted on the opposite side
of Constance Street between the curb return and stop sign (Approx. 14-feet). It is suggested that
this curb should be red and not green, per CVC Section 22500; CAMUTCD Section 38.19. It is
recommended for the City to contact the Tire Shop located at 8130 Constance Street to inform
the business of this suggested recommendation.
• Change the curb to red and repainted the 14-feet of curb to red curb,just east of the tire shop
driveway located at 8130 Constance Street. The red curb is recommended to be installed
along the southside of Constance Street between the corner of Constance Street at San
Gabriel Boulevard and the existing Stop Sign.
• Before repainting the existing green curb to red curb, it is recommended that the City
