STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: GLORIA MOLLEDA, CITY MANAGER VA
DATE: JANUARY 11, 2022
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS
FOR RED CURB NEAR THE BUSINESS ENTRANCES ADJACENT TO
2239 SAN GABRIEL BOULEVARD
SUMMARY
On June 3, 2021, a traffic study with several recommendations was presented to the Traffic
Commission to improve the existing parking conditions near the business entrances adjacent to
2239 San Gabriel Boulevard. After discussion and presentation of the item, the Traffic
Commission approved the staff recommendations for the area. Public Works Field Services staff
will complete all the recommended items. If necessary, additional materials and supplies may be
purchased at a minimal expense to complete the recommended work, and staff may utilize the
approved Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Traffic Signs & Markers available funds.
BACKGROUND
On behalf of the City of Rosemead, engineering staff completed a traffic review and recommended
appropriate measures to improve and evaluate the existing parking conditions near the business
entrances adjacent to 2239 San Gabriel Boulevard. These recommendations will address resident
visibility concerns when exiting or entering the business.
Currently, vehicles are parking right up to the driveway approach, making it difficult to see
oncoming traffic and maneuver in and out of the driveway. A representative for the business
requested that the City install a red or green curb to address the issue and limit the time that vehicles
can park in this area.
After a thorough review of existing conditions, it was recommended that the curb located between
the business driveways and the existing green curb near 8130 Constance Street be painted red to
deter vehicles from blocking access to the business driveways and improve the line of sight. 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.
AGENDA ITEM 5.E
City Council Meeting
January 11, 2022
Page 2 of 4
DISCUSSION
During the June 3, 2021, Traffic Commission Meeting, Jana Robbins, Traffic Engineer for
Transtech Engineers, gave a presentation regarding the existing parking conditions near the
business entrances adjacent to 2239 San Gabriel Boulevard. The traffic review included an analysis
of the existing roadway conditions near the business at 2239 San Gabriel Boulevard.
Ms. Robbins recommended the following improvements:
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.
a. The installation of a red curb to the east of this business driveway 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 2 at the NW comer of Constance Street and San Gabriel
Boulevard, per CAMUTCD Section 3B.19.
a. The 10 feet of red curb is essentially in the curve of the corner, and any parked
vehicles should not be parked there. The installation of a 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.
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 (approximately 14 feet). It
is suggested that this curb should be red and not green, per CVC Section 22500;
CAMUTCD Section 3B.19. The Public Works Inspector contacted the Tire Shop located
at 8130 Constance Street to inform the business of the change in the colored curb.
a. Change the curb to red and repaint the 14 feet of curb red, 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.
The Traffic Commission voted 4-0 to approve staff's recommended measures near the business
entrances adjacent to 2239 San Gabriel Boulevard.
RECOMMENDATION
The Traffic Commission recommends the City Council authorize approval for the following
measures near the business entrances adjacent to 2239 San Gabriel Boulevard:

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.

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:OOpm due to
street sweeping. Constance Street does not allow Trucks over 3 Tons as specified by the modified

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.

Avenue between Garvey Avenue and Ramona Boulevard during the November 5, 2020, Traffic
Commission meeting.
Commissioner Ly explained that the City painted a double yellow line and has received questions
from residents about making U-turns on the solid double yellow lines.
Commissioner Ly commented that the recommendation made to paint a white strip along both
sides of the street did not help reduce the flow and speed of traffic.
