ROSEMEAD TRAFFIC COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
TO: TRAFFIC COMMISSION
FROM: BEN KIM, CITY MANAGER
DATE: AUGUST 3, 2023
SUBJECT: TRAFFIC REVIEW ALONG WILLARD AVENUE BETWEEN GARVEY
AVENUE AND DOROTHY STREET
SUMMARY
On behalf of the City of Rosemead, engineering staff completed a school crossing guard warrant
analysis and recommended appropriate improvements at the location Willard Elementary School.
The City of Rosemead requested an evaluation regarding the addition of an adult crossing guard
within the segment location of Willard Avenue between Garvey Avenue and Dorothy Street.
Additionally, the installation of a midblock crosswalk was asked to be reviewed. The request
reported that due to the amount of school children crossing Willard Avenue along with added
school congestion, pedestrians are vulnerable to approaching cars. In response to this request and
on behalf of the city, engineering staff has completed a review of existing conditions along the
segment, as well as the installation of a crossing guard, and crosswalk installation review.
ANALYSIS
As part of this traffic review, an analysis of the existing roadway conditions, a review of
approximately 3-years of available collision data, an average daily traffic count (ADT), 24-hour
speed survey and Field Observations during school start and end times along Willard Avenue
between Garvey Avenue and Dorothy Street were observed.
Existing Conditions:
Within the City of Rosemead, Willard Street is a north/south street that is considered a local road,
based upon the California Road System by Cal Trans. The segment of Willard Street has a prima
facie speed limit of 25 MPH, as well as a posted school speed limit of 25 MPH when children are
present. Willard Street is approximately 40-feet wide with one lane in each direction, and each

350-feet south of the intersection with Rockhold Avenue and Dorothy Street. Parking is allowed
on both sides of the street, except the street sweeping days on Friday, 2PM – 5PM. Along Willard
Avenue between Garvey Avenue and Dorothy Street, there are single-family residential homes, as
well as Willard Elementary School located on the eastside of Willard Avenue.
Within the City of Rosemead, Dorothy Street is an east/west street that is considered a major
collector road, based upon the California Road System by Caltrans. This segment of Dorothy Street
has a prima facie speed limit of 25 MPH. Dorothy Street is approximately 40-feet wide with one
lane in each direction. Parking is allowed on both sides of Dorothy Street. Along Dorothy Street,
there are single-family residential homes on both sides of the street.
Within the City of Rosemead, Garvey Avenue is an east/west road that is considered minor arterial
road, based upon the California Road System by Caltrans. This segment of Garvey Avenue has
posted a speed limit of 35 MPH. Garvey Avenue is approximately 76-feet wide with two lanes in
each direction, and a median marked by double yellow centerlines. Parking is allowed on both
sides of Garvey Avenue. Along Garvey Avenue, there is a car rental, restaurants, and a motel to
the west of the intersection at Willard Avenue, and a DMV, car repair shops are to the east of the
intersection at Willard Avenue.
Francis Willard Elementary school is located on the east side of Willard Avenue, south of Dorothy
Street and north of Garvey Avenue. The front of the school is facing west towards Willard Avenue,
and the back of the school is facing east towards Walnut Grove Avenue. The total student
population is approximately 331 students, and the school serves students from grades K-6. Student
age groups are ranging from 5 to 11 years old. The regular bell schedules for students at Francis
Willard Elementary School are as follows: Monday through Friday – Start time: 8:20am; Monday,
Tuesday, Thursday, Friday – End Time: 2:35pm; Wednesday – End Time: 1:35pm
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
After a thorough review of existing field and traffic conditions and per the California Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CAMUTCD), California Vehicle Code (CVC), based on the
traffic review and engineering judgement, it was determined that the segment along Garvey
Avenue between Garvey Avenue and Dorothy Avenue would benefit from an installation of 25
MPH speed limit sign (R2-1) and other improvements.
At this time, it is also recommended that a yellow school crosswalk and a crossing guard be
installed/assigned along Willard Avenue either north of Lumen Street, or further north in front of
the school frontage at Willard Elementary School. Given the number of pedestrians, specifically
City Traffic Commission Meeting
August 3, 2023
Page 3 of 4
student age, that cross midblock along Willard Avenue, it is recommended that the City consider
this option to improve pedestrian visibility and safety in the area. It should be noted that due to the
presence of several utility boxes, fire hydrants, and electric vaults in the immediate vicinity, an
engineering evaluation will need to be conducted in the field to locate the location of the crosswalk
and the feasibility and location of needed ADA ramps in the sidewalk areas. The final location of
the crosswalk will be dependent of this engineering evaluation. The school officials will also be
consulted in determining the most suitable location for this crosswalk.
Please refer to RECOMMENDATION EXHIBIT A in Attachment A for a conceptual exhibit
representation of the proposed recommendations.
These improvements include:
1. NEW SPEED LIMIT 25MPH: Install 25 MPH speed limit sign (24”x30”) (R2-1) as shown in
the recommendation Exhibit. Willard Avenue has a regular posted speed of 25 mph, the
SCHOOL 25 mph When Children are Present signs do not apply.
2. REPAINT CROSSWALKS: Repaint east leg and south leg crosswalks at the intersection of
Dorothy Street and Rockhold Avenue with yellow ladder striping.
3. REMOVE AND REALIGN SCHOOL SIGN (S1-1): Remove and Align Crooked School Sign
on west side of Rockhold Avenue.
4. REMOVE AND REPLACE SIGNS: Remove “25 MPH when Children Are Present” Sign
(SR4-1) and replace with 25 MPH Speed Limit Sign (24”x30”) (R2-1). Willard Avenue has a
regular posted speed of 25 MPH, the SCHOOL 25 MPH When Children are Present signs do
not apply.
5. INSTALL STOP AHEAD SIGN (W3-1): Install “STOP AHEAD” sign on existing light pole,
located on west side of Willard Avenue, approximately 350-feet north of Garvey Avenue for
SB direction of traffic.
6. INSTALL MIDBLOCK CROSSWALK ALONG WILLARD AVENUE: Install midblock
crosswalk along Willard Avenue, north of the school frontage of Willard Elementary School.
The Crosswalk should be painted yellow with either ladder or continental striping. The location
is to be determined by an engineering review of existing power vaults and existing power poles
along the sidewalks.
7. INSTALL PEDESTRIAN CROSSING SIGNAGE WITH DOWNWARD FACING ARROW
(SW24-2): Install School Pedestrian Crossing (SW24-2) Signage (36”x36”) at the new
midblock crosswalk will be installed along of the school frontage at Willard Elementary
School.

INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND
The City of Rosemead has received a resident request as well as a request by the school district to review
Willard Avenue between Garvey Avenue and Dorothy Street. The concern is about the amount of school
children crossing Willard Avenue and vehicles and congestion making these pedestrians vulnerable to
approaching cars. The request was multi fold asking to look into a crosswalk, school crossing guard as
well as other traffic calming measures to be installed along Willard Avenue between Garvey Avenue and
Dorothy Street. In response to this request and on behalf of the City, engineering staff has completed a
traffic review of this road segment. The traffic review included an analysis of the existing roadway
conditions, a review of approximately 3-years of available collision data, an average daily traffic count
(ADT), 24-hour speed survey and Field Observations during school start and end times along Willard
Avenue between Garvey Avenue and Dorothy Street.

SPEED SURVEY
To assess the speed at which vehicles were traveling along Willard Avenue between Garvey Avenue and
Dorothy Street, a speed sample was taken over a 24-hour period on March 23, 2023. Based on the Speed
Survey, the 85th percentile speed of vehicles along Willard Avenue south of Willard Elementary School
Grounds was determined to be 34 MPH. This translates to mean that 85 percent of the vehicles sampled
were traveling at 34 MPH or below, which is slightly above the prima facie speed limit of 25 MPH. 24 hour
speed samples were also taken on Rockhold Avenue south of Dorothy which is to the north of Willard
Elementary School, the 85th% speed was 28mph which is slightly above the posted 25 mph speed limit.
Table 3 below shows the March 23, 2023, speed survey results. The speed summary for both locations is
attached at the end of the report.

PEDESTRIAN COUNTS
To determine how many pedestrians are crossing Willard Avenue midblock at the front of Willard
Elementary School, pedestrian counts were taken on May 2, 2023, and on May 9, 2023, during school
drop off and school dismissal time for Willard Elementary School, between 7:30-8:30AM, and 1:45-
2:25PM. The counts were conducted at two separate locations, for Willard Avenue, midblock at the
frontage of Willard Elementary School and for the intersection at Dorothy Street and Rockhold Avenue.
The pedestrian counts shown in Table 4 and Table 5 tally the number of adult and school age pedestrians
in each leg of the intersection in the morning between 7:30-8:30AM during school drop off, and in the

FIELD OBSERVATIONS AT SAVANNAH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
An observation was conducted on Tuesday, May 9th, 2023, at the frontage of Savannah Elementary School,
as well as the intersection of Rockhold Avenue and Dorothy Street, to observe car and pedestrian
movements during student drop-off. Observations were conducted during student drop off times from
Willard Elementary School from 7:30-8:30AM. It was observed that many cars parked along both sides of
the street along Willard Avenue, south of the intersection of Rockhold Avenue and Dorothy Street.
Vehicles were parking on both sides of the street to drop off students and pedestrians crossed midblock
along Willard Avenue near the frontage of the school. As there is no marked crosswalk at the front of the
elementary school, parents and students crossed the street midblock close to where they parked their
cars along Willard Avenue. Only a few parents and students utilized the crosswalks at Rockhold Avenue
at Dorothy Street, because the closest crosswalk is located approximately 500’ north of Willard
Elementary School. There is no marked crossing located midblock along Willard Avenue. During the school
drop-off of students, it was also observed that the parking lot located south of the school frontage on
Willard Avenue, was used as a drop off spot, and several parents parked in the lot to drop off their
students. As the school start time got closer, a backup of cars quickly formed as vehicles waited on Willard
Avenue to drop off students along the curb as well as to drop off in the parking lot. Vehicle backup affected
northbound vehicles along Willard Avenue. Vehicle backup also occurred for southbound vehicles along
Willard Avenue, as many parents and students crossing midblock would cause traffic to stop while waiting
for pedestrians to cross the street.
An additional observation was conducted on Tuesday, May 2nd, 2023, at the frontage of Savannah
Elementary School, as well as the intersection of Rockhold Avenue and Dorothy Street, to observe car and
pedestrian movements during student drop-off. Observations were conducted during student drop off
times from Willard Elementary School from 1:45-2:45PM. It was observed that many vehicles parked on
both sides of the street to pick up students from the school and pedestrians crossed midblock along
Willard Avenue at the front of the school. There is no marked crosswalk at the front of the elementary
school, so parents and students crossed the street midblock close to where they parked their cars along
Willard Avenue. During the school dismissal of kindergarten age students, it was also observed that the
parking lot located south of the front of Willard Elementary School was used as a pick-up spot for vehicles,
and a backup of cars quickly formed as vehicles waited to turn into the parking lot. Vehicle backup affected
cars turning into the parking lot for pickup, as well as vehicle traffic along Willard Avenue for northbound
vehicles. Very few pedestrians used the crosswalks at Rockhold Avenue and Dorothy Street in the
afternoon. Most pedestrians crossed midblock south of this intersection closer to the school. During
school pickup, the school principal was present and expressed his concern for students crossing the street
midblock along Willard Avenue. He explained that a crosswalk and crossing guard were needed for the
school, and that the school would like them both placed north of the school frontage, to encourage
student and adult age pedestrians to safely cross the street going to school. Pedestrian counts were
conducted to determine if a crosswalk and crossing guard were warranted in this area.
Figure 4 below indicates the observed traffic movement of vehicles during the pick-up of students in the
afternoon from Willard Elementary School.

Pedestrian Safety
Pedestrian activity through the segment is taken into account when considering the installation of a
midblock crosswalk. Collisions between vehicles and pedestrians represent an important safety issue for
every country in the world. According to the National Safety Council, close to 20 percent of fatalities in
road accidents in the United States are pedestrian fatalities. Pedestrian collisions occur more often in
urban areas since pedestrian activity is much higher there.

To cross the street, the pedestrian will be in the travel way for a total of 14.43 seconds on Willard Avenue.
This is the amount of time a pedestrian will be unprotected within the street.
Midblock Crosswalk Guidance
The installation of all traffic control devices, including midblock crosswalks on public streets are guided
by the California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control (CAMUTCD) Section 3B.18, the California Vehicle
Code (CVC), and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Per the CAMUTCD, an engineering study
should be performed before a marked crosswalk is installed at any location. The engineering study
should consider the following factors in determining if the installation of a new crosswalk is justified:
• Number of lanes
• Presence of a median
• Distance from adjacent signalized intersections
• Pedestrian volumes and delays
• Average daily traffic (ADT) volume
• Posted or statutory speed limit or 85th-percentile speed

• Geometry of the location
• Possible consolidation of multiple crossing points
• Availability of street lighting, and other appropriate factors.
The installation of a midblock crosswalk typically occurs where there is shown to be significant
pedestrian desire and need. Uncontrolled crosswalks are marked crosswalks with no traffic control
device and is not recommended unless there is significant need and accompanied with other measures
to alert drivers to pedestrians crossing. Consideration of a pedestrian crosswalk depends heavily on
intensity of pedestrian activity at the location such as a high volume of pedestrians crossing, no other
crossing options within a walkable distance, and the vehicular speed along the route. The CAMUTCD
Section 3B.18 states Mid-block pedestrian crossings are generally unexpected by the motorist and
should be discouraged unless, in the opinion of the engineer, there is strong justification in favor of such
installation. Particular attention should be given to roadways with two or more traffic lanes in one
direction as a pedestrian may be hidden from view by a vehicle yielding the right-of-way to a pedestrian.
The US Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration “Executive Summary and
Recommended Guidelines” for crosswalks has guidelines of where uncontrolled crosswalk could be
considered? 1
• Two lane roadways
• Roadway speeds less than 30 mph
• No parking on street segment approaching crossing location
• High pedestrian volume
• Average daily traffic on roadway less than 9,000 vehicles
• Clear sight distance for pedestrian and approaching vehicle
• Well lighted area
• Used to discourage pedestrian crossing at undesirable locations
• Special consideration is given to those locations that are part of a safe route to school program
Some studies suggest that an uncontrolled marked crosswalk gives a pedestrian a false sense of security,
with the markings providing a barrier or some sort of protection. Contrary to pedestrians’ expectations a
marked crosswalk does not necessarily result in motorists stopping or yielding to pedestrians. In some
instances, pedestrians are more likely to step out in front of oncoming traffic in a marked crosswalk than
at an unmarked crosswalk. According to the US Department of Transportation Federal Highway
Administration “Executive Summary and Recommended Guidelines” for crosswalks, “motorists failing to
yield represented a large percentage of pedestrian crashes in marked crosswalks (41.5%) and unmarked
crosswalks (31.7%)”. There were several other contributing factors such as speed of traffic, number of
lanes and age of pedestrians that also contributed to the results.

Recommended Guidelines” for crosswalks, Table 1.

CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING IF A CROSSING GUARD IS WARRANTED
The City has received comments from the school district as well as parents of students who attend Willard
Elementary School regarding the installation of a crosswalk and a crossing guard along Willard Avenue,
midblock along the segment between Garvey Avenue and Dorothy Street. To access Willard Elementary
School in the City of Rosemead, there are crosswalks located at the intersection of Dorothy Street and
Rockhold Avenue, which is located 500’ north of the school. The frontage of Willard Elementary School
faces west towards Willard Avenue, and a large portion of vehicle and pedestrian traffic occurs next to
the front of the school. There are some concerns by parents as well as the school that a crossing guard
may be needed at the subject area of Willard Avenue at the frontage of the school. As a result of concerns
the City commissioned a Traffic Engineering study to assess existing conditions as well as determine if a
crossing guard is warranted. Two locations were considered in this assessment for Willard Elementary
School, which were midblock along Willard Avenue at the school frontage adjacent to Willard Elementary,
and at the intersection of Rockhold Avenue and Dorothy Street.
All Engineering studies and recommendations follow the guidelines found in the CAMUTCD (California
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices) and the California Vehicle Code. By following engineering
standards assures that all devices or measures placed in or on public streets have a universal meaning and
all drivers understand and can anticipate where signs or striping may be placed. This is also true in regard
to the criteria for Adult Crossing Guards. Our Traffic Studies are based on the guidelines found in the
California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CAMUTCD), California Vehicle Code (CVC), and
based on engineering judgement from a detailed traffic study.
Criteria for Adult Crossing Guards
Adult Crossing Guards normally are assigned where official supervision of school pedestrians is desirable
while they cross a public highway, and at least 40 school pedestrians for each of any two hours (not
necessarily consecutive) daily use the crossing while going to or from school. Table 7 outline the criteria
and findings. Since it was found that the intersection of Rockhold Avenue and Dorothy Avenue has very
little school age pedestrians this location would not be a candidate for a crossing guard. As found in the
CAMUTCD 7D.02 the following guidelines are provided.
Adult crossing guards may be used under the following conditions:
1. At uncontrolled crossings where there is no alternate controlled crossing within 600 feet; and
a. In urban areas where the vehicular traffic volume exceeds 350 during each of any two hours
(not necessarily consecutive) in which 40 or more school pedestrians cross daily while
going to or from school; or
b. In rural areas where the vehicular traffic volume exceeds 300 during each of any two hours
(not necessarily consecutive) in which 30 or more school pedestrians cross daily while
going to or from school. Whenever the critical (85th percentile) approach speed exceeds 40
mph, the guidelines for rural areas should be applied.
2. At stop sign-controlled crossing: Where the vehicular traffic volumes on undivided highways of
four or more lanes exceeds 500 per hour during any period when the school pedestrians are
going to or from school.
3. At traffic signal-controlled crossings:

a. Where the number of vehicular turning movements through the school crosswalk exceeds
300 per hour while school pedestrians are going to or from school; or
b. Where justified through analysis of the operations of the intersection.
TRAFFIC CALMING DEVICES AND STRATEGIES
Traffic calming is the process of reducing vehicle speeds using both passive devices, such as signs and
striping, and physical devices such as changes in road elevation or path. As part of this study, traffic
speeds, collisions and traffic volumes were used to assess existing conditions along this segment. The
type, design and placement of traffic calming devices depend upon the road classification, desired traffic
speed and types of traffic issues along Willard Avenue between Garvey Avenue and Dorothy Street. There
are various traffic calming measures that can reduce the flow and speed of traffic on a street.
The following is a list of common traffic calming measures that can be installed to aid in slowing traffic:
1) Traffic Education Campaign: This consists of flyers, neighborhood meetings, banners and other
notices to assist is making the public aware of the traffic conditions in a certain area.
2) Signage and Pavement Legends: Modifying the signage along the road or change the striping to
narrow travel lanes to effectively slows speeds by changing the travel environment. Signs alert the
Driver to their speed, such as larger speed limit signs or a speed feedback sign. Too many signs can

have an opposite effect on traffic. Therefore, usage of signs should be subject to careful consideration
and compliance with local and regional standards.
3) Targeted Police Enforcement: The police department deploys officers to perform enforcement on
residential streets for at least an hour a day.
RECOMMENDATIONS
After a thorough review of existing field and traffic conditions and per the California Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices (CAMUTCD), California Vehicle Code (CVC), based on the traffic review and
engineering judgement, it was determined that the segment along Garvey Avenue between Garvey
Avenue and Dorothy Avenue would benefit from an installation of 25 MPH speed limit sign (R2-1) and
other improvements. The improvements are listed below and shown on the Recommendation Exhibit.
At this time, it is also recommended that a yellow school crosswalk and a crossing guard be
installed/assigned along Willard Avenue either north of Lumen Street, or further north in front of the
school frontage at Willard Elementary School. Given the number of pedestrians, specifically student age,
that cross midblock along Willard Avenue, it is recommended that the City consider this option to improve
pedestrian visibility and safety in the area. It should be noted that due to the presence of several utility
boxes, fire hydrants, and electric vaults in the immediate vicinity, an engineering evaluation will need to
be conducted in the field to locate the location of the crosswalk and the feasibility and location of needed
ADA ramps in the sidewalk areas. The final location of the crosswalk will be dependent of this engineering
evaluation. The school officials will also be consulted in determining the most suitable location for this
crosswalk.
The City may also consider a Phase 2 installation for this location, for the crosswalk signage being
recommended at the school frontage of Willard Elementary School. At this time, it is recommended that
double sided pedestrian crossing signage, as well as advance pedestrian crossing signage, be installed
along Willard Avenue at the new crosswalk. However Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon signage (RRFB)
be added at these signs to further improve visibility along Willard Avenue. This may be considered as a
future improvement when grant funding is available for the City.
The following recommendations are shown in the Recommendation EXHIBITS A and B.
1. NEW SPEED LIMIT 25MPH: Install 25 MPH speed limit sign (24”x30”) (R2-1) as shown
in the recommendation Exhibit. Willard Avenue has a regular posted speed of 25
mph so the SCHOOL 25 mph When Children are Present signs do not apply.
a. Speed Limit 25MPH Sign to be installed on the westside of Willard Avenue, south
200-feet of Dorothy Street for southbound vehicles along Willard Avenue.
Figure A: 25 MPH
Speed Limit (R2-1)

2. REPAINT CROSSWALKS: Repaint east leg and south leg crosswalks at the intersection of Dorothy
Street and Rockhold Avenue with yellow ladder striping.
a. Repaint Eastbound Crosswalks at the intersection of Dorothy Street and Rockhold Avenue
b. Repaint Southbound Crosswalks at the intersection of Dorothy Street and Rockhold Avenue
3. REMOVE AND REALIGN SCHOOL SIGN (S1-1): Remove and Align Crooked School
Sign on west side of Rockhold Avenue.
a. Remove and align crooked School Sign on west side of Rockhold Avenue,
approximately 350-feet south of Dorothy Street (SB direction).
4. REMOVE AND REPLACE SIGNS: Remove “25 MPH when Children Are Present” Sign (SR4-1) and replace
with 25 MPH Speed Limit Sign (24”x30”) (R2-1). Willard Avenue has a regular posted speed of 25 MPH
so the SCHOOL 25 MPH When Children are Present signs do not apply.
5. INSTALL STOP AHEAD SIGN (W3-1): Install “STOP AHEAD” sign on existing light pole,
located on west side of Willard Avenue, approximately 350-feet north of Garvey
Avenue for SB direction of traffic.
a. Stop Ahead signage will alert southbound drivers of the stop sign at the
intersection of Willard Avenue and Garvey Avenue.
6. INSTALL MIDBLOCK CROSSWALK ALONG WILLARD AVENUE: Install midblock crosswalk along Willard
Avenue, north of the school frontage of Willard Elementary School. The Crosswalk should be painted
yellow with either ladder or continental striping. The location is to be determined by an engineering
review of existing power vaults and existing power poles along the sidewalks.
a. Installing a midblock crosswalk will improve pedestrian visibility along the segment for parents
and students crossing the street to get to Willard Elementary School.
7. INSTALL PEDESTRIAN CROSSING SIGNAGE WITH DOWNWARD FACING ARROW
(SW24-2): Install School Pedestrian Crossing (SW24-2) Signage (36”x36”) at the
new midblock crosswalk will be installed along of the school frontage at Willard
Elementary School.
a. Install the signage double-sided, so vehicles approaching from both
northbound and southbound directions can see the signage indicating the
presence of a pedestrian crossing. All school signs shall be fluorescent
yellow-green background.

8. INSTALL PEDESTRIAN CROSSING AHEAD SIGNAGE (SW24-3): Install School
Pedestrian Crossing Ahead (SW24-3) Signage (36”x36”) along Willard Avenue,
approximately 200’ north and 200’ south of where the new midblock crosswalk
will be installed along Willard Avenue.
a. Installing the new Pedestrian Ahead Signage will improve pedestrian and
vehicle visibility along Willard Avenue, and alert vehicles driving along
Willard Avenue of the pedestrian crosswalk. All school signs shall be
fluorescent yellow-green background.
b. Install SLOW SCHOOL XING pavement legends in advance on the yellow
crosswalk for NB and SB directions.
9. ASSIGN A CROSSING GUARD AT THE NEW MIDBLOCK CROSSWALK DURING DROP OFF AND PICK UP
HOURS TO BE DETERMINED BY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT: Assign a crossing guard to be stationed at the
new midblock crosswalk for Willard Elementary School, to help alert drivers of pedestrians crossing
the street to reach Willard Elementary School, on the east side of the street on Willard Avenue.
