ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: OLIVER CHI, CITY MANAGER
DATE: DECEMBER 11, 2007
SUBJECT: ROSEMEAD BOULEVARD RELINQUISHMENT
SUMMARY
Recently, members from the City Council have asked staff to research the possibility of
relinquishing Rosemead Boulevard from the State of California. A similar request was
made of staff in February 2002 after Caltrans approached the City to discuss the
possible relinquishment of Rosemead Boulevard to the City. As part of that request,
Willdan and Associates prepared a relinquishment study that analyzed the current
condition of the road including any corrective measures that must be reconciled prior to
the City's acceptance of relinquishment of the roadway.
Rather than duplicating the information from the initial staff report dated June 22, 2005,
it is attached to this report for the City Council's reference (Attachment A). The original
Rosemead Relinquishment Study prepared by Willdan dated June 2005 is also attached
to this report (Attachment B).
The June 22, 2005 staff report to the City Council provides a brief summary of the
relinquishment study and a detailed analysis of the overall relinquishment process.
If it is the City Council's desire to proceed with the relinquishment process, a formal
resolution acknowledging the City's interest must be brought back for City Council
approval at a future meeting.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council provide direction regarding the relinquishment
of Rosemead Boulevard.
LEGAL REVIEW
The agreement has been reviewed as to form by the City Attorney.

FROM: BILL CR WE, CITY MANAGER
DATE: JUNE 22, 2005
RE: ROSEMEAD BOULEVARD RELINQUISHMENT STUDY
Attached for City Council's review is the Rosemead Boulevard Relinquishment Study.
This is a physical study of the Boulevard that documents current conditions, damage
and deficiencies, including - general substandard conditions, and other corrective
measures, that must be reconciled prior to the City's acceptance of relinquishment of
the roadway should that be the City Council's desire.
This study was commissioned by the Rosemead Redevelopment Agency in February
2002, after Caltrans staff approached the City to discuss the possible relinquishment of
Rosemead Boulevard from the State to the City. Upon reviewing all considerations,
staff determined that a relinquishment study should be performed, as there are
considerable advantages to locally controlling the operation and maintenance of
Rosemead Boulevard, a highway that bisects the heart of the City's central business
district.
The State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has an ongoing
program whereby the State relinquishes the jurisdiction over local highways to the local
agencies. Local agencies benefit from this program in that they have complete control
over development along that route and future improvements do not have to comply with
Caltrans standards but can satisfy local standards. In addition, it no longer becomes
necessary for the local agency to obtain a Caltrans permit to construct improvements
along the affected highway. However, relinquishment would not proceed until Caltrans
and the cities involved agreed on an amount of funds to be paid by Caltrans for
necessary repairs or rehabilitation of the highway leaving the highway in a "state of
good repair."

As shown in the Rosemead Boulevard Relinquishment Study, it would cost
approximately $12.5 million to bring Rosemead Boulevard up to City standards. This
would include reconstructing the roadway, upgrading traffic signals, adding sidewalk
and parkway trees, installing street lights, and narrowing medians in certain areas to
allow for a third lane of travel should that be necessary in the future, and ADA and
storm drain improvements. There will likely be debate between Caltrans and City staff
as to what constitutes improvements to bring the boulevard up to a "state of good
repair".
It has been learned that Caltrans generally uses a figure of $100,000 per lane mile as
their starting point in negotiating a settlement offer. For Rosemead Boulevard, that
amounts to approximately $856,000. Other cities have been able to negotiate
settlement offers at least as much as $500,000 per lane mile. For Rosemead Boulevard
that amounts to amounts to approximately $4,300,000. Until staff negotiates with
Caltrans, settlement numbers are only speculative.
Relinquishment Process
The relinquishment program generally proceeds on two fronts: the legislative process
that has to be followed in Sacramento and the cooperative agreement entered between
Caltrans and the local agency.
In the legislative process, the City would involve its state representative or senator to
draft the necessary state legislation that allows Caltrans to delete this portion of
Rosemead Boulevard from the State Highway system. However, the jurisdiction would
not actually transfer to the City until a cooperative agreement is entered into between
Caltrans and the City. The City Council must pass a resolution indicating that there is at
least an interest in pursuing the relinquishment process. Such a resolution would not in
any way commit the City as far as following through with the process. Once the
legislation is passed, the City could proceed with the relinquishment process.
Passing this resolution merely keeps the City's options open on the relinquishment
issue.
On State highways deleted by legislative enactment, Caltrans places the highway in a
"state of good repair" prior to the date the relinquishment becomes effective, however,
the city or county may elect to pay for improvements whose costs exceed what is
required to place the existing facility in a "state of good repair." Such relinquishment
becomes effective upon the first day of the next calendar year or fiscal year, whichever
first occurs after the effective date of the legislative enactment.
The City must prepare a project report for a State highway deleted by legislative
enactment and include specific recommendations for placing the existing highway in a
"state of good repair" prior to relinquishment. Rehabilitation work proposed as a
condition of relinquishment must be justified. In no case is the pavement rehabilitation
design life to be in excess of 10 years.
Prior to completion of the project report involving rehabilitation of distressed asphalt
concrete pavement, a pavement deflection study should be performed to determine the
June 22, 2005
Page 3
need for an overlay and/or other pavement rehabilitation treatment. It will be used for
project scope and cost estimating purposes in the project report.
Following receipt of the deflection study recommendations and before completion of the
project report, a joint field review with Caltrans should be conducted to eliminate any
misunderstandings and to resolve any differences usually due to Caltrans' denial of
requested improvements. An attempt is made to reasonably accommodate the
concerns of the City through contact with the City's decision makers. A solution to a
protest or potential protest is preferable at this time.
Section 73 of the Streets and Highway Code, requires that the relinquishment of roads,
streets or highways must be made by a California Transportation Commission (CTC)
resolution. Relinquishment action is required by Caltrans when a route location is
deleted from the State Highway System by legislative enactment and includes collateral
facilities that were acquired or built as part of a project. These would include frontage
roads, relocated streets, new streets to maintain service, cul-de-sac adjustments, and
bicycle and pedestrian trails. The goal is to get CTC approval and recording of the
relinquishment within one year from the usual time of initiating a relinquishment action.
Generally, Caltrans will commit to a negotiated amount of money, which, in theory,
would be used for improving the section of highway to be transferred to the City. The
amount of funds committed by Caltrans would depend on the amount and type of
improvements negotiated between the two agencies based on the project report
recommendations. Once the agreement is signed, Caltrans would provide a check to
the City. These funds would come to the City with no strings attached.
As told to you in a previous correspondence, Staff has been in contact with Los Angeles
County Department of Public Works and the City of West Covina, both of whom have
been working on the relinquishment of Rosemead Boulevard (near Huntington Drive)
and Azusa Avenue, respectively. Both have confirmed that the negotiation process with
Caltrans was lengthy, but they were able to reach a settlement on the amount of money
that the State would provide each jurisdiction to bring the roadways up to a state of
good repair. Staff has also been told that Caltrans may not be willing to provide funding
for upgrades such as ADA and NPDES in the future.
Both the County and West Covina indicated that Caltrans is willing to relinquish the
roads, but, due to the ongoing budget crisis, the State may not pay the agencies the
settlement amounts that were agreed upon.
RECOMMENDATION
If it is City Council's desire for staff to proceed with the relinquishment process, direct
staff to bring back to City Council, at a subsequent meeting, the necessary resolution
formally acknowledging the City Council's interest in the relinquishment of Rosemead
Boulevard.

Rosemead Boulevard
Relinquishment Study
1. INTRODUCTION
This Study was conducted for the City of Rosemead in preparation for diocussions with
the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) regarding the State's proposed
relinquishment of Rosemead Boulevard to the City.
This Study was prepared in accordance with Section 73 of the California 5treets and
Highways Code which outlines the 5tate's highway relinquishment procedures. 5eotion
73 states, in part, that "the (California Transportation) Commission shall not relinquish
to any county or city any portion of any state highway until the Department (Caltrans)
has placed the highway in a state of good repair." The intent of this Study is to conform
to this criteria and provide a cost-effective rehabilitation plan that will bring about a
reasonable condition state.
This study documents the current conditions on Rosemead Boulevard. The extent of the
damages or deficiencies is delineated on aerial photos (Appendix A) and located by
address or other Site-specific description. In addition, a summary discussion of the
existing conditions is provided. A thorough field investigation was performed to identify
the damages andlor deficiencies in the roadway, including recurring maintenance
problems, general Substandard conditions, and other corrective measures, that must be
reconciled prior to the City's acceptance of the relinquishment. Some pavement testing
was performed to investigate the underlying structure, including coring of the pavement
section and sampling of base and soil. Non-destructive deflection testing was
performed in all travel lanes. All of this data was compiled and analyzed to determine
the need for rehabilitation.
This Study provides recommendations for needed rehabilitation, accompanied with a
detailed cost estimate.
As-built street and storm drain plans obtained from Caltran5 and the Loo Angeles
County Department of Public, Works were thoroughly reviewed. The City also reviewed the
adequacy of the exioting drainage system based on historical performance and street
drainage capacity calculations.

Relinquishment Study
11. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In preparation for relinquishment discussions with Caltrans, the City of Rosemead
conducted this Study to assess the existing condition of Rosemead Boulevard within the
City's territorial limits. There is a need to determine what improvements are required to
bring Rosemead boulevard to a "state of good repair," the minimum standard
established by State Code. This study identifies the damages and deficiencies in the
roadway, and recommends needed rehabilitation. This study establishes a plan to
complete rehabilitation in an efficient and cost-effective manner that corresponds to
the anticipated construction phasing. These costs may be lesser or greater depending
on the integration of all the roadway elements into the overall project.
Available record drawings were reviewed. The existing pavement, curb & gutter,
driveways, curb ramps, parkway trees, sidewalks, storm drains, utilities, traffic signals,
and street lighting were inspected, and detailed data recorded. The deficiencies were
documented on aerial photographs for ease of locating and to quantify the extent of the
repairs. 5oil investigations and pavement deflection tests were performed to analyze
pavement needs.
This study determined that the pavement will require full reconstruction. The existing
base pavement, which was constructed 50 to 70 years ago, is severely deteriorated.
The existing pavement has clearly outlived its usefulness and constructing new pavement
over this old pavement is highly impractical with traffic loading about 30 times that in
1950.
New bus lanes in both directions are needed to address the severely damaged pavement
and corresponding traffic loading in the slow lanes. The bus lanes should be constructed
of Portland cement concrete (FCC) to provide the durability required to sustain the bus
axle loads, which are now legally exceeding 20,000 pounds. Further, the heavy and
increasing traffic is forcing the need for an additional lane in each direction. The new
lane adjacent to the curb will also need to be replaced with concrete pavement. This will
avoid accelerated deterioration arising from both bus traffic in the new lane and also a
pavement joint of dissimilar materials, which will be driven across frequently by bus and
truck traffic. To avoid the same problems at the pavement joint with the fast lane, it i5
reasonable to construct the remaining 11-foot fast lane pavement with FCC as well, for a
roadway of uniform material.
In order to provide sufficient width for the additional lanes, the existing median islands
will need to be narrowed and the existing 3-foot-wide gutters north of Valley boulevard
2
Rosemead Boulevard
Relinquishment Study
will need to be replaced with 2-foot gutters. To provide the proper grade to match the
existing frontages in the Segment with 3-foot gutters and concurrently repair damaged
Sidewalk sections, rehabilitation work must include full Sidewalk replacement in that area.
Also, at the major pedestrian crossings, the median island noses provide essential
pedestrian refuge. Therefore, additional width will be needed along left-turn pockets at
ouch locations.
Driveways have the came. grade matching and repair problems, but must also meet ADA
accessibility Standards. Most driveways will need to be reconstructed for these
reasons. Likewise, the majority of the existing curb ramps do not meet current
standards and need replacing.
Traffic Signals need considerable improvement to meet acceptable standards for
relinquishment, and the existing streetlights are entirely outdated and insufficient.
Replacing the old lights with modern energy efficient units is the appropriate measure.
Finally, a survey for street trees indicated there were none within the parkway. However,
there iS adequate space for approximately 60 trees to be planted north of the 10
Freeway. South of the 10 Freeway, the parkway can accommodate uniform Spacing of an
additional 56 trees.
The rehabilitation project will Significantly impact traffic flow and commercial Site access
during the construction. However, Some of the rehabilitation items may actually
facilitate and decrease the costs of other items. For example, underground conduits for
traffic signals, streetlighting, and landscape irrigation can be installed when Surface
improvements are being replaced. The coordinated construction was factored into the
overall rehabilitation plan and resultant cost estimates.
The total coot of the improvements is estimated to be $12,500,000.
The rehabilitation work will provide the following benefits:
• Improved pedestrian and traffic safety,
• Reduced liability exposure,
• Extended street life,
• Optimal traffic circulation,
• Reduced need for future repairs and long-term maintenance costs, and
• Enhanced use and efficiency of public transportation.

Rosemead Boulevard
Relinquishment Study
111. BACKGROUND
Rosemead [5oulevard from the South City limit just north of Garvey Avenue to the 10
Freeway (approximately 0.6 miles) i5 a 3-lane arterial on each Side, with a 6-foot-wide
median island, that eerve5 a5 a link between the 60 and 10 Freeways and the
neighboring cities to the north. Only the western half of this roadway (the Southbound
lance) iS within the City of Rosemead's boundaries. The other Side of the roadway, or
northbound lanes, iS within the City of El Monte. This study applies only to the
relinquiohment of the portion of Rosemead Boulevard within the City of Rosemead. From
the 10 Freeway to the northern City limit (approximately 1.2 miles), Rosemead Boulevard
i5 a heavily traveled 4-lane arterial with two Striped lanes in each direction, a 16-foot-
wide median island, and curbside parking in most areas. The peak rush-hour commute iS
constantly congested ae the average daily traffic generally exceeds 50,000 vehicles,
with growth expected to continue. Traffic South of the 10 Freeway tends to be less
congested due to the 3-lance in each direction. The posted maximum Speed limit i5 35
miles per hour north of the 10 Freeway and 45 MPH south of the 10 Freeway. The
properties adjacent to Rosemead Boulevard are a mixture of residential apartments,
industrial and commercial developments, with Storefronts adjacent to the Sidewalk
between Valley Boulevard and Mission Drive.
The following general areas of deficiency on Rosemead Boulevard have been noted in the
past:
• Moot of the existing roadway Surface i5 in extremely poor condition.
• The existing Street lighting is very old and outdated.
• Curb ramps are frequently either mioeing or do not meet current Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) etandards.
• The 5i4ewalko are aged and broken at numerous locations.
• Curb and gutter io essentially missing on the Segment from the South City limit
to the 10 Freeway.
• The gutter north of Valley Boulevard iS not monolithic with the curb and,
therefore, i5 failing in many locations.
• The traffic Signal System does not meet current City Standards or other
commonly applied national Standards, and in Some aspecte iS very old and
deteriorated.

IV. EXISTING CONDITIONS AND
MITIGATIONS
A visual inspection of Rosemead Boulevard was conducted and documented on aerial
photographs which are included in Appendix A. The aerial photographs Show the damage
to perimeter concrete (i.e., curb and gutter, driveways, curb ramps, and Sidewalk, etc.).
Missing Sidewalk and curb and gutter io also indicated, along with locations where curb
ramps do not conform to current ADA requiremento. Other appendices include the
Deflection Analysis Report (Appendix B), and f arkway Tree and Sidewalk Conditions
(Appendix C). The extent of the deficiencies on Rosemead Boulevard io discussed in this
section, with rehabilitation measures described ao applicable to complete the overall
rehabilitation plan.
& PAVEMENT
Existing Conditions
The existing pavement conditions are described in detail in Appendix B. To summarize, it
io necessary to divide the length of the roadway into four segments. Each of these
segments has a different construction history. With the exception of the short segment
of P CC pavement at the very north end of Rosemead boulevard, the conditions are
similar.
From the south City limit to the 10 Freeway, the pavement in the No. 2 and No. 3
lanes io failing rapidly despite a two-inch overlay that was installed about nine
years ago. The wheel paths of these lanes are alligator cracked, and in the No. 3
lane the wheel paths are developing base failure in many areas.
Based on this progression, it io estimated that all lanes will be alligator cracked
within a few years, with the No. 2 and 3 lanes having high levels of base failure. In
Figure 1 we see clear evidence that the underlying pavement structure io weak and
badly deteriorated. Core samples revealed three inches of asphalt concrete (AC)
on native soil under the overlay. Deflection test results show a six-inch overlay io
needed in the No. 3 lane, and with the rapid deterioration, similar demands will
develop in the No. 2 lane.

•
2. From the 10 Freeway to Valley Boulevard, a relatively thin maintenance blanket
overlay was installed about 25 years ago based on a records Search. The original
pavement, constructed in 1950, was three to four inches thick. The pavement
received an asphalt rubber chip Seal in 1988, which io the primary factor holding
the roadway Surface together. Widespread alligator cracking can be Seen
reflecting through the chip Seal, and potholes and patches are evident in many
areas along the pavement ao Shown in Figures 2 and 3.
It io clear that the original pavement was highly deteriorated at the time the
maintenance blanket was installed. Again, the underlying base pavement 15 weak
and highly deteriorated. The maintenance overlay and chip Seal only extended the
Service life without improving the Structure Significantly. Deflection analysis in
Some lanes Shows requirements for a five-inch overlay.

3. From Valley Boulevard to 500 feet north of Lower Azusa Road, the conditions are
Similar to that South of Valley Boulevard, though considerably worse on the
northbound side. On the southbound Side, an additional 1-'/2-inch overlay of
asphalt rubber hot mix was installed to protect the asphalt rubber chip Seal,
which was being torn apart by hot temperatures and high truck traffic back in
1989. Although this asphalt rubber overlay iS not cracking, it iS rutting Severely,
basically becoming too fluid to crack and instead, iS flowing out of the wheel
paths.
The pavement underlying the asphalt rubber chip Seal in both lanes in both
directions is in essentially the Same condition with widespread alligator cracking,
and numerous potholes developing along the northbound side. The alligator
cracking can be seen in the asphalt rubber chip seal on the northbound side.
These conditions are hidden by the fluid asphalt rubber overlay on the southbound
Side, but construction records and pavement cores revealed the Same Section
and conditions on both sides of the street. The rutting asphalt rubber pavement
will need to be removed due to its unstable behavior. Evaluating the stability of
the base pavement found on the northbound Side (actually the side with lesser
traffic), the highly deteriorated section of 2 to 2'/z-inches of AC overlaid on 2'/2-
inch AC with no base material, yields deflections demanding an overlay
approaching six inches thick.

Figure 4 - Typical Failing Pavement North of Valley 131vd.
Rosemead Boulevard
Relinquishment Study
Once again, the underlying pavement io clearly not a viable base for the pavement
Structure of a major highway route.
4. From 500 feet north of Lower Azusa to the north City limit io a Short Segment
consisting of four lanes of FCC pavement with asphalt concrete shoulders a5
Shown in Figures 4 and 5. Unfortunately, the travel lanes are only 11 feet wide and
truck wheel paths generally drift onto or across the joint with the AC shoulders,
causing pavement failure along that joint. The concrete pavement was
constructed in 1937, and the slabs are breaking down into Smaller Sections after
years of increasing traff=ic.
North of Lower Azusa Road, Rosemead Boulevard begins to descend down under
the Union Pacific Railroad Bridge. The bridge does not lie within the City of
Rosemead. Concrete embankments line the roadway along the approach to the
bridge. The slopes in this area appear stable, with the concrete appearing to be
sound. A pipe railing exists at the top of the western embankment adjacent to
Rosemead Boulevard Frontage Road. The rail needs to be replaced with standard
guardrail.

Relinquishment Study
Deflection studies and pavement cores indicate the need for excessive overlay
thickncooco, generally four to six inches on all 5egment5 with existing AC Pavement. All
of the medians have reduced curb heights from pact overlays. Cold milling to maintain
the median height will only weaken the Structure back to the original highly deteriorated
2'/z to 3-inch AC Section and increase the overlay requirements substantially.
10
Figure 6 - Typical Pavement South of North City Limit
Rosemead Boulevard
Relinquishment Study
It i5 simply not viable to consider using an overlay to provide restructuring on pavement
constructed in an era of light traffic between 1937 and 1950, and thereafter left to
deteriorate to a Severe condition. Therefore, another overlay I5 not an option, except
maybe on the FCC Segment at the north City limit. Even there, the construction
required to force the pavement Structure into grade conformance with the existing
median, and provide reasonable rcoiotance to crack reflection on this Small area of
pavement, will likely yield a coot approaching the coot of full reconstruction. The
reconstruction would be part of the economy of Scale achieved with the remainder of the
roadway, whereas using Specialized asphalt rubber products for crack reflection in this
Small area would increase costs dramatically.
The decision, therefore, i5 between reconstruction with FCC pavement or AC pavement.
it is widely accepted that a FCC pavement can be designed to provide an excellent
service life under the severe traffic conditions on Rosemead Boulevard. This roadway is a
major truck and bus highway route, and the concept of a truck/bus lane definitely
appears to be warranted. Based on traffic counts and growth rates, the roadway will
need to be expanded to six lanes, at least during peak hours, in the not too distant
future. It is likely that the 6-lane configuration would only be effective during peak hours,
11
Figure 7 - 51ab 5yotem breakup 5outh of North City Limit

Relinquishment Study
so both the No. 2 and No. 3 lanes will need the Same basic Structural Section. During
off-peak hours, trucks will use the No. 2 lanes. The uniformity of materials in these lance
will alleviate the inherent instability that would exist at the joint of dissimilar materials
(between the No. 2 and No. 3 lanes). However, the Same Stability concerns exist if a
joint were created between the No. 1 and No. 2 lanes. Furthermore, the maintenance
issues involved in sustaining a joint between the AC No. 1 lane and PCC truck and bug
lane are also difficult.
Basically, the No. 2 and No. 3 lanes will constitute the truck/bus lanes, a5 buses will
drive across the joint between lanes frequently, as well as trucks to some extent. Heavy
bus and truckload deformations along the joint would occur on the AC side in general.
Discontinuities of deflection and Support at a joint of dissimilar materials will inevitably
lead to nonconforming grades along the joint, structural failure of the AC at the
unsupported joint edge, added maintenance costs and inconvenience of Sealing and
maintaining the joint, and ride quality igsuco. All of these concerns apply to the No. 1
lane joint as well; therefore, a FCC design Should include the No. 1 lane and extend to the
full width of roadway.
AdG_Itbj1a1_i-anc9
The roadway width for travel will need to be increased to Six lanes, since traffic already is
extremely congested during some periods. The roadway is already six lanes South of 10
Freeway, extending to the 60 Freeway and beyond. To provide continuity through the
segment north of the Freeway, which actually carries higher levels of traffic, additional
roadway width will be required. The least expensive alternative io to reduce the width of
the median to 12 feet. This will provide an additional 4 feet to allow 11-foot-wide No. 1 and
No. 2 lanes, and 12-foot-wide No. 3 lane. It Should be noted that the existing 3-foot
gutters in the No. 3 lanes north of Valley Boulevard takes away 2 feet of usable roadway
width that would be available with 2-foot gutters.
Reducing the median width to less than 12 feet essentially eliminates the median along
left-turn pockets, which to a large extent eliminates the effectiveness of the median as
a traffic control device, and certainly as a pedestrian refuge. Basically at intersections,
there would only be a 2-foot-wide Strip of raised concrete along the left-turn pockets.
Therefore, north of Valley Boulevard, it will be necessary to remove and replace the curb
and non-monolithic 3-foot gutter with a 2-foot curb and gutter in order to provide the
same lane configuration ag south of Valley Blvd.
The resulting 2-foot median along left-turn pockets is not really adequate for a
pedestrian refuge at most intersections, and io not ideal for motor vehicle Safety.
12
•

Rosemead Boulevard
Relinquishment Study
Experience has Shown that ouch a narrow median can be deceptive to the motoring
public and counterproductive to traffic Safety. To provide a 3-foot median at key
pedestrian crossings, the outside curb will need to be widened by 1 foot along left-turn
pockets at ouch locations (on the Side of the Street with the pocket).
A Special situation exists at Mission Drive, which io adjacent to Rosemead High School.
(see discussion under Medians, below.) The large number of young pedestrians at that
location makee a 4-foot median essential. The Street will need widening by 1 foot on both
Sides along the length of the left-turn pockets at thie intersection to accommodate
pedestrian capacity.
Proposed Rehabilitation
The proposed PCC Section for the roadway as detailed in the pavement report in
Appendix B io 9 inches of FCC on 5 inches of Lean Treated Base (LTB).
A detailed coot estimate io provided in 5eotion VI.
B. CONCRETE IN PERIMETER AREAS
Curbs
The existing FCC curbs along Rosemead Boulevard appear to be in fair condition, except
for the non-monolithic curb north of Valley Boulevard constructed in 1935. Cracked curb
damage was not Significant between Valley Boulevard and the 10 Freeway. The curb
damage north of Valley boulevard was generally related to failure of the 3-foot non-
monolithic gutter that was Severely damaged in many areas.
Replacement of the existing 3-foot curb and gutter with a 2-foot curb and gutter to
provide the extra 2-foot roadway width and 6-lane configuration, will be necessary north
of Valley boulevard regardless, and will Solve both the width and damage problems at
once.

settlement and expansive soil. This factor by itself makes installing curb against
existing sidewalk impractical. In addition, all of the cutting and patching required to
repair damaged sidewalk amplifies the need for full replacement as the most effective
and efficient option north of Valley Boulevard. One other factor supporting the efficiency
of full sidewalk replacement is the cost savings from avoiding the cutting and patching
of large slab areas that are required for reasonable stability of the sidewalk patches and
to match construction joints or scorelines. Installation of streetlight and street tree
irrigation conduit and other repairs would require extensive work at much higher costs if
the sidewalk was not removed. Removal of the sidewalk will allow for unobstructed
installation of streetlight and interconnect conduit in the sidewalk area. The new
sidewalks would also replace mismatched, stained, and otherwise old deteriorated
sidewalk sections required for a reasonable level of uniformity. Obviously, new sidewalk
patches on top of the existing patches as part of relinquishment rehabilitation work
would be a severe impact on uniformity.
South of the 10 Freeway, there is very little sidewalk. In fact, at one point pedestrians
must enter on to the AC shoulder to continue between the freeway and Whitmore
Street. It is necessary to construct at least a 5-foot sidewalk to fill in the length, and
provide minimum pedestrian access along a transportation corridor, and also satisfy
ADA requirements.
The most northerly segment, just south of the north City limit, has only a 2'/2-foot
sidewalk on each side of the street. This clearly must be rectified for pedestrian safety,
.ADA and general viability concerns. The roadway is wide enough for the 6-lane
configuration, even if 2'/2 feet is taken to widen the sidewalk on each side. Therefore, the
existing 3-foot curb and gutter needs to be replaced with 2-foot curb and gutter with
curb face on an alignment 2'/2 feet closer to the median. New 5-foot sidewalk should then
be installed. The existing median could remain as is at 6-foot width to provide a 6-lane
configuration, the same as to the south.
Driveways
Some of the driveway 'Wo" and portions of adjacent curb were damaged due to vehicles
repeatedly running over them, especially heavy delivery vehicles. Many of the ")Co" also
are substandard in width, especially for commercial entries. In addition, most of the
driveways do not provide adequate ADA-compliant pedestrian passage, as shown in
Figure 10.

• • Rosemead Boulevard
Relinquishment Study
Driveways pose all of the Same problems presented for sidewalks, i.e. damage and grade
matching, but most important for driveways io the need to establish ADA compliance
across the backs of those driveways. With the importance of the roadway for both
pedestrian and vehicle traffic, ADA compliance is clearly a matter of necessity at
driveways. There i5 really no viable patching fix that solves the ADA problem, while full
replacement of the driveway solves all of the problems at once. Basically, all driveways
north of Valley Boulevard will need to be replaced, as will any non-conforming driveways
South of Valley Boulevard.
Damaged and ADA substandard driveways are shown in Appendix A.
ADA Curb Ramps
Naturally, ADA compliant ramps at intersections must be established.
Curb ramps at many locations were either missing or did not meet ADA minimum slope
requirements, as shown in Figure 11.
The substandard curb ramps are shown in Appendix A.

C. STORM DRAIN ELEMENTS
Storm Drain Pipes
In general, Rosemead Boulevard drains in a Southerly direction towards the Rubio Wash
and Rio Hondo Channel. The Storm drain system in Rosemead Boulevard consists of the
following:
1. Caltran5 Drains. A5 part of the State Highway improvements for Rosemead
Boulevard between Garvey Avenue and Valley Boulevard constructed in the early
1950'5, Caltran5 installed two Storm drains to Serve this reach. One of the
drains extends from the Rio Hondo Channel, just north of Garvey Avenue, to the I-
10 Freeway underpass, serving both the City of Rosemead on the west half of
Rosemead Boulevard and the City of El Monte on the east half (see Figure 12).
The other drain extends from the Rubio Wash, just south of the 1-10 Freeway, to
Ralph Street. The two drains combined create a network of 38 catch basins
linked in Series by 15- to 36-inch RCP. However, excluding the catch basing in the
City of El Monte and on the freeway ramps (and those intercepted by Glenmead
Drain described below), only 14 catch basins are actually located within Rosemead
Boulevard in the City of Rosemead.
17
Figure 11- 5ubotandard curb ramp.
Rosemead Boulevard
Relinquishment Study
2. Glenmead Drain, Line "A". The Loo Angeles County Department of Public Works
(LACDPW) constructed this Storm drain in 1995. The drain was designed to
capture Storm runoff along Rosemead Boulevard and from Several Side 5treet5
between Marshall Street and Valley Boulevard. The drain outlets to Rubio Wash a
few blocks west of Rosemead Boulevard via Marshall Street, intercepting a
portion of Caltran5' Storm drain (7 catch basins between Marshall 5treet and
Ralph Street) along the way. A total of 17 catch basins within Rosemead
Boulevard and the immediate Side streets are connected to the mainline.
3. Project No. 6801, Unit 1, Line "A". The Loo Angeles County Flood Control District
(LACFCD) constructed this drain a5 part of the 1964 Storm Drain Bond 155ue.
The drain runs from west to east in Valley Boulevard, crosses Rosemead
Boulevard, and outlets to LACFCD Project No. 524 approximately a half-mile
east. Four catch basins located at the intersection of Valley Boulevard and
Rosemead Boulevard capture Storm runoff generated between Valley Boulevard
and Mission Drive.
4. Project No. 524, Line "A". The LACFCD constructed this drain a5 part of the
1958 5torm Drain Bond 155ue. The drain runs from west to east in Mission Drive,
cro55e5 Rosemead Boulevard, and outlets to the Eaton Wash approximately one
mile southeast. Six catch baoin5 located at the intersection of Mio9lon Drive and
Rosemead Boulevard capture Storm runoff generated between Mission Road and
Lower Azusa Road.
5. Rudell Pump 5tation. A5 part of the 5tate Highway improvements for Rosemead
Boulevard in the vicinity of the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) crossing
constructed in the late 1930'5, Caltran5 built the Rudell Pump 5tation. The pump
5tation i5 designed to drain the Sump area below the UPRR cro55ing, also known
a5 the Rudell Underpass (see Figure 13). 5torm runoff i5 generated from the
areas immediately north (City of Temple City) and South (City of Rosemead) of
the underpa55. The pump 5tation conoiot5 of two catch baoin5 at the underpa55
and a pump house located atop the roadway embankment in the City of Temple
City (see Figure 14).

Historically, the Storm drain System in Po5emead Boulevard has performed adequately.
The City of Rosemead has experienced few incidents of Street flooding during the life of
the System. Caltrano and LACDPW have provided routine maintenance of their
respective Storm drains. With the exception of one damaged catch basin north of
Mi55ion Drive (see Figure 15), all the catch basins are in relatively good condition.
Upon the 5tate'S relinquishment of Rosemead Boulevard to the City of Rosemead, the
City intends to transfer all former Caltrano drains to LACDPW for maintenance.
However, the Caltran5-built Storm drains do not meet LACDPW 5 current design
Standards, a5 required for acceptance of maintenance. Specifically, all 15-inch RCP
connector pipes would need to be upgraded to 18-inch RCP, and each catch basin Should
be connected to a Storm drain "mainline" (minimum 24-inch RCP) that includes several
manholes for maintenance acce55. Furthermore, in compliance with NPDE5 Permit
requirements, each catch basin along Rosemead Boulevard (43 counted) Should be
outfitted with a filter insert (or Similar DMP) to capture and reduce the amount of
debris and pollutants entering the Storm drain System. These are Significant
considerations for the City in accepting relinquishment.
21
Figure 15. Damaged catch basin just north of Mi55ion Drive
Rosemead Boulevard
Relinquishment Study
Given the fact that the drainage system in Rosemead Boulevard has performed
satisfactorily and the catch basins and Street Slopes on the Side Streets are
functioning, an extensive investigation of the overall hydraulics and hydrology was not
performed. An evaluation of the depth of design storm flow in Rosemead Boulevard
upstream of both Valley Boulevard and Mission Drive found that storm drain laterals
branching off of Project Nos. 6801 and 524 would not be required.
Catch Basins
The drainage on Rosemead Boulevard historically has been Satisfactory. Evidently the
catch basins and slopes are ouch that drainage including from side otreete ie managed
quite well. AS a result, an extensive investigation of hydraulico and hydrology wao not
performed.
D. TRAFFIC CIRCULATION ELEMENTS
Traffic Signals
The traffic oignals were evaluated from field oboervationo and the following deficiencies
were identified.
The existing 170 controllers inotalled in 1978 ohould be replaced with 2070 controllers.
The current City otandard for new inotallationo io the 2070 controller or equivalent.
When the City taken over maintenance it expects a controller with IT5 and major
communications capabilities that will serve the City's future citywide traffic oignal
system until the year 2020. The controllers should continue to run on the coordinated
system for Rosemead Boulevard until incorporated into the citywide system. There are a
total of 7 locations.
The intersection of Rosemead at Lower Azusa Road Should be upgraded with 2 new Type
26 otandarde with 35 to 40' mast arms to accommodate protected left-turn oignale
and through-movement oignalo. The median-mounted Signals can then be removed along
with the Type 1-A and Type 17 poles. It io accepted practice on new irite roectiono to place
all left-turn signals on the overhead maot arm. This hao become the standard due to
median-mounted signals being damaged or destroyed by traffic accidents and for better
visibility. Therefore the City would like to bring the intersection up to current design
standards. Further, all existing 8" signals Should be replaced by 12" signals ao all
modifications in recent years in the City have provided. All of the combination 8" and 12"
Signals are presently being replaced by all 12" sectiono under separate contract leaving
22
Rosemead Boulevard
Relinquishment Study
three 8" 5ignalo to be replaced. The street name signs and luminaires Should be replaced
due to age.
Both the internally illuminated Street name signs and luminaires are at least 5,5 years
old and have faded Sign panels and degraded refractors in the luminaires which would
require immediate maintenance or replacement.
The intersection of Rosemead Boulevard at Glendon Way Should be upgraded with 2 new
Type 26 standards with 40' mast arms to accommodate protected left-turn 5ignal5
and through-movement 5ignal5. The median-mounted 5ignal5 and 1-A poles would be
removed along with the current Type 17 standards. Further, any existing 8" 5ignal5
Should be replaced by 12" 5ignal5. The combination 8" and 12" 5ignal5 are presently being
reconfigured to all 12" Sections under Separate contract leaving five 8" 5ignal5 to be
replaced by 12" 5ignal5. The Street name 5igno and luminaires Should be replaced due to
age. Both the internally illuminated Street name Signs and luminaires are at least 38
years old and have faded Sign panels and degraded refractors in the luminaires.
All pedestrian pushbuttons Should be removed from median locations for Safety rea5on5.
They Should match the existing conditions at Rosemead Boulevard and Valley Boulevard
There are approximately 9 pedestrian pushbuttons at 5 locations, which Should be
removed.
All of the pedestrian pushbuttons on traffic Signal 5tandard5 at all locations will have to
be upgraded to ADA mushroom-type pushbuttons and pedestrian ramps installed where
required.
Generally the rest of the traffic 5ignal5, poles and Signs on Rosemead Boulevard look
good and are acceptable.
The Street light system on Rosemead Boulevard needs to be replaced with a more
adequate oy5tem using marbelite poles with underground feed and 150 W H125 Street
lights installed on both 5ide5 of the Street at regular intervals. The present lights with
the exception of 3 locations are all on one side of the arterial mounted on wood power
poles. This creates deficient lighting due to the width of the Street and the center
median divider. The present lighting will not extend beyond the median.
There are numerous Sign poles that need to be changed from Uni5trut to round Steel
poles to meet the City of Rosemead round pole Standard. Approximately 42 Sign poles
have to be changed to round Steel poles.
23
Rosemead Boulevard
Relinquishment Study
The striping and loops will have to be replaced after the street i5 resurfaced. The
Striping will match the existing Striping at Valley Boulevard and Rosemead Boulevard.
Everything i5 thermoplastic except for the Detail 9 Skip lines, the Detail 25 left edge
lines and the 50' Stripes at each intersection at the end of the kip line.
Medians
The high level of traffic, much of it non-local and pass-through towards the 10 and 60
Freeways, which io anticipated for this roadway, demands attention to any means
available to mitigate the potential for accidents caused by confused or reckieos drivers
in these crowded conditions. The traffic calming effect, Separation of opposing traffic
and Solidly defined traffic flow patterns are extremely beneficial attributes provided by
the raised medians. Fully functional medians Should be a part of the establishment of
an acceptable roadway for relinq,uiohment due to the extreme demands to be made on
the roadway and on those responsible for providing Safety for the traveling public.
There io also much to be gained in terms of pedestrian Safety at croooingS, where
median noses provide important refuge for wayward pedestrians in a busy wide street
such a5 Rosemead Boulevard. This is one. reason why providing medians including a
minimum width along left-turn pockets to crucial. The other reason is to maintain
through circulation near crowded intersections and avoid crossover into on-coming
traffic.
Two-foot wide median widths along left-turn pockets that will occur without Street
widening are very narrow for pedestrian refuge and actually dangerous if a pedestrian
loot footing or balance along the edge. A fall into traffic could be disastrous. However,
considering the generally low volume of pedestrian traffic, this ohould suffice, except at
the intersection of Mission Avenue adjacent to Rosemead High School. The high volume
of young pedestrians makes a wider 4-foot pedestrian refuge important at that
location.
The median widths south of the 10 Freeway and at the most northerly Segment at the
north City limit are 6 feet. This does not provide a reasonable space for typical
landscape. These medians are considered deficient in this regard. A width of 8 feet is
considered the absolute minimum for landscaping to be viable. Widening the median in
both oegmento iS possible, while maintaining the 3-lane configuration and the perimeter
concrete improvements. The northern segment would be widened one foot on each Side
oymmetrically. The segment South of the 10 Freeway Should be widened on the west Side
by 2 feet. The City of El Monte may eventually widen the other half of the median when
24

north of Valley and South of the 10 Freeway. Luminaires and ballasts will also need to be
replaced ao part of this work because of non-conforming voltages, the general concern
for energy efficiency, and basic compatibility between the old and new hardware. The City
has a Standard that includes a photocell on each light.
E. PARKWAY TREES
Street Trees
Over the length of Rosemead Boulevard, there are no Street treee. There is easily room
for 60 trees as noted on the field Survey by our arborist. This would certainly be
considered a deficiency in an urban environment, as Rosemead Boulevard i5 today. It
appears that Since 1950, when construction was completed, lack of Street trees was
not recognized as an oversight. It is common to See street trees along similar highway
settings throughout Southern California. The City of Rosemead has trees on all of its
streets and arterials, and considers it to be an important element in the overall street
infrastructure. City standards mandate that street trees be added in any event, when
the roadway becomes City right-of-way.
A complete listing of available locations, including any relevant interferences is included
in Appendix C.
In the ongoing battle to forestall upheaval of sidewalks and curbs by tree roots, the City
has learned the hard way that only a comprehensive strategy can mitigate the problem
to an acceptable level. Otherwise, tree roots inevitably seek the surface where moisture
can be found, causing displacement of surface improvements. Even the best root control
barriers have proven incapable of resisting this action, though they delay it
Substantially. The additional element needed, beyond common root control devices and
deep watering, is keeping the predominant soil moisture below ground. This can be
accomplished by a technique commonly referred to as structural soil. This is a design
soil mix, that is good for roots and tree support, and also quickly percolates water to
the bottom strata. It needs to be protected from infiltration of fine particles by using a
geotextile fabric. This complete Strategy comes as close to eliminating concrete surface
upheaval by roots as is presently possible. The ultimate responsibility to repair damaged
sidewalk, which will inevitably occur regardless, will be borne by the City after
relinquishment. 5uch responsibility will be acceptable if all reasonable measures are
applied to neutralize the problem.
26
Rosemead Boulevard
Relinquishment Study
Finally, to ensure the Short- and long-term success for the Street tree planting, an
irrigation system will be needed; Something that will not be very costly when installed
when the Sidewalk or pavement io removed.
F. UTILITIES
The electric utilities in Rosemead boulevard are Still overhead on wooden poles. A major
administrative effort will be required to achieve underground utilities prior to
construction of roadway pavement or Sidewalk. There will also be considerable utility
coordination and construction management involved in implementing the proposed utility
undergrounding and other utility work, in conjunction with the rehabilitation work. Some
utilities will likely desire to upgrade their facilities before surface rehabilitation is
completed, so the need for careful coordination is clear. The impacts of utility work in
terms of contractor scheduling will likely be significant. Reasonable contingencies for
such interference are built into the cost estimates for relevant items.
G. ADMINISTRATIVE/ENGINEERING
Traffic Control Plans
Work area traffic control plans will have to be developed and work area control devices
installed before work can commence. The work will involve numerous phases and will be a
major design effort; proper advance planning will save major costs as part of an overall
rehabilitation plan. Scheduling work in phases while maintaining good traffic circulation
is extremely important and must be balanced with the needs of the contractor to
expeditiously perform construction. Quality work by a team of traffic and construction
engineering specialists will be necessary to optimize the approach.
Utility Coordination
As discussed in the Utilities section, the utility situation is complicated. There are
issues related to the relocation of interfering facilities, scheduling of utility upgrades in
coordination with rehabilitation construction work, gathering utility information and
disseminating notifications to utilities, and field coordination during construction. As
such, utility coordination will be a significant cost.
As-Built Drawing Establishment
A substantial amount of research will be needed to establish a reasonable Oct of record
drawings for the infrastructure in Rosemead Boulevard. Fortunately, most of this will be
addressed during the course of preparing plans for the rehabilitation work. 5till,
27
Rosemead Boulevard
Relinquishment Study
elements such a5 traffic signal plane or piano for other facilities not fully rehabilitated
will need to be researched and acquired or drafted. Eotimates of these coots need to be
included to provide for relinquishment of Rosemead Boulevard ao a facility, just as
elements of a commercial building are documented to provide effective maintenance.
Reconciliation of On-Going Permits
It io expected that there will be existing permits either in process or with work underway,
which need to be adopted by the City of Rosemead, both adminiotratively and
procedurally. The adminiotrative work will be quite Significant and the costs of
inspection to catch up with current circumstances will be duplicative of the work already
performed by Caltrans.
Design Engineering/Surveying
The coot of design Survey and engineering will be approximately 12 percent of the
construction cost. Quality construction plans and Specifications are crucial to
obtaining oolid low bids and avoiding change orders during construction.
Construction Engineering
Construction Surveying, construction management, testing and inspection will also be
coots incurred in the rehabilitation construction. These coots will tend to be at leaot 15
percent of the construction costo. The quality and durability of the rehabilitation work
will depend on good construction engineering.

V. SUMMARY OF REHABILITATION PLAN
Based on the thorough evaluation of conditions and necessary remediationS described
earlier, a rehabilitation plan evolved that io expeditious and coot-effective in bringing
about an acceptable roadway for relinquishment. This plan integrates all aspects into a
series of construction procedures that avoids conflicts between elements, and leads to
major coot savings by performing each element in a particular Strategy and sequence.
Overall Rehabilitation Plan
1. Excavate perimeter concrete north of Valley Boulevard.
2. Install conduits under excavated Sidewalk area and other areas with no Sidewalk
at present - Street light, interconnect (by others), irrigation and traffic Signal.
3. Install curb and gutter north of Valley boulevard and where not existing at
present (south of the 10 Freeway).
4. Install Structural Soil, root control devices, traffic Signs, and streetlights.
5. Install driveways, Sidewalk and ADA ramps.
6. Excavate Slow loner, and install pavement Section and conduit crossings.
7. Install remainder of conduit under reconstructed roadway pavement along where
Sidewalk is to remain.
8. Install reconfigured median and Street trees.
9. Excavate foot lanes and install pavement Section and conduit croooinoo.
10. Install finish central pavement and Striping.
11. Establish record drawings for all facilities.
There are many advantages to this plan where full Sidewalk removal occurs, as opposed
to a out and patch Strategy for sidewalk deficiencies. The coots are dramatically
reduced for removal and construction by allowing the continuous, uniform operation by a
contractor's workforce. Items ouch ao conduits and root control devices can be easily

installed when Sidewalks or pavement are removed, avoiding expensive and extensive
patching. Selective sawcutting and over-cutting to Score lines; localized excavations
with small, less effective equipment; and isolated construction zones with inefficient
access for hauling and delivery are eliminated.

1.0 PROJECT INFORMATION
Rosemead Boulevard extends from the railroad bridge grade separation at the northern city boundary
to the Rio Hondo channel bridge located south of the 10 Freeway at the southern city boundary.
South of the freeway, the portion of Rosemead Boulevard within the city limits includes only the
southbound side of the median. Three lanes exist on this side of the median with a shoulder and no
parking. North of the 10 Freeway there are two lanes in each direction with parking in most areas,
with the full roadway within the City. The full-length is approximately 1.5 miles, with the portion
south of the 10 Freeway approximately 0.6 mile.
The purpose of this report is to address the pavement conditions based on coring investigations, soils
testing, and deflection testing. A thorough visual assessment of conditions, in conjunction with the
data gathered through testing procedures, were very important to this study. The potential for
rehabilitation through structural overlay or other structural improvements for an extended service life
will be analyzed, with recommendations provided. Traffic data was provided by the City that
extended a traffic index (TI) of 10.5 based on about 50,000 vehicles per day, relatively high truck
traffic and moderate growth rates. It seems clear that the roadway will need to be increased to three
lanes in each direction in the near future. Once these additional lanes are provided, the growth rates
are likely to increase quite dramatically. Therefore a TI of 11.0 was also applied as a point of
reference.
2.0 SCOPE OF NVORK
The work described below is sequential in nature. Work performed in each task may have dictated
the steps, which were necessary in subsequent tasks. in some cases, additional tasks, not specifically
described in this scope of work, may have become required as a result of preceding work. The
following is a detailed description of the originally proposed services:
l) Mark core locations appropriate to determine existing structural sections and provide a log of
locations for coring crew and exhibit for Caltrans permit.
2) Provide coring and 3 R-value tests.
3) Prepare a detailed log of core results.
4) Coordinate deflection testing for selected wheel paths in various lanes, based on core
information and evaluation of field conditions.

5) Perform deflection testing at 50-foot intervals in lanes with evident weakness and 100-foot
intervals in other lanes.
6) Provide graphical representations of deflections in the various lanes.
7) Provide typical photographs of conditions on various segments in similar condition, and
describe the conditions on the roadway pavement in the various segments.
8) Calculate overlay requirements for AC and ARAM strategies, based on Caltrans Method 356.
9) Prepare tables showing development of overlay requirements and a summary of
recommended strategies for structural upgrade.
10) Provide structural sections for concrete and AC reconstruction sections.
11) Provide descriptions of overlay or reconstruction strategies appropriate to the pavement
conditions, including general information (not precise locations; only example locations)
about areas requiring reconstruction.
12) Prepare recommendations for miscellaneous preparation measures, such as crackfrlling,
leveling course, etc.
13) Compile the report into appropriate sections, including appendices of all data used in the
analysis.
14) Provide two copies of a preliminary draft, and four copies of the final report after requested
revisions, plus a reproducible unbound original.
3.0 GENERAL FINDINGS
Rosemead Boulevard in the City of Rosemead has provided an arterial route for the region since at
least the early 1920s. Some of that original roadway section still exists as the base layer of pavement
in the nor-them area of the City. In 1937, the portion North of Valley Boulevard was widened, with
one lane in each direction constructed of concrete, with the original AC pavement in the middle of the
roadway, and wide AC shoulders were added on each side of the street. Medians were added in this
segment probably around 1950. The segment south of Valley Boulevard was fully reconstructed in
1950. The portion of this segment south of the 10 Freeway had shoulders constructed sometime
thereafter to allow for three lanes in each direction.
In all of these cases, the original pavements, whether constructed in l 920s, 1937 or 1950, still exist as
the base layer of pavement. The thicknesses of those original AC base pavements are generally 3

Wildun - Puvetnent Investigation Report Page 3
mACTEC Project 7013110359-6
inches or less, predominantly on local native soil without any base material. In some areas an overlay
was placed, but these reached a state of high fatigue long ago. An asphalt rubber chip seal was
provided to protect the deteriorating pavement north of the freeway in 1988, but now potholes are
developing in many locations on that segment. The first overlay was placed on the portion south of
the freeway fairly recently, most likely within the past five years, but appears to be failing quite
rapidly at this time.
The most important general finding is that the asphalt pavement structure is so thin and deteriorating
that it cannot support the demands placed on this roadway under the present traffic loading. The one
obvious exception of course is the portland cement concrete (PCC) intersection at the Valley
Boulevard, which is a recent addition and is in excellent condition. There is also a segment of
concrete pavement at the north end of the project, which was constructed in 1950. It is quite narrow
for 2-lane traffic in each direction, and the outer truck wheel paths tend to encroach into the AC
shoulder. The concrete slab system is well along into a gradual breakup into smaller pieces.
In summary, the asphalt pavement is in poor condition with two exceptions. The number one lane of
the three lanes south of the freeway is not cracked, however it was overlaid only about five years ago.
All the other lanes in this segment are failing rapidly. The other segment is the southbound lanes
north of Valley to just north of Lower Azusa Road, which has an asphalt rubber hot mix overlay on
the asphalt rubber and aggregate membrane. However, the overlay is severely rutted and will continue
to worsen in this regard as a time passes. Rutting pavement is so fluid that the cracks underneath do
not reflect up, however, the underlying deterioration still exists, and the rutted areas will need to be
removed, since it is unstable pavement.
4.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS
The existing conditions of the pavements were based on close visual assessment and core sampling at
locations selected based on the appearance typical of the overall pavement in the area. R-values for
soils are relatively constant at approximately 70 over the length of the street.

4.1 RIO RONDO BRIDGE TO 10 FREEWAY
Existing Structural Section
Aside from a segment of transitioning in the vicinity of the on/off ramps at the 10 Freeway, the street
consists of a narrow 6-foot median and three lanes of pavement on either side. The median appears to
be part of the original construction with a 2-percent cross slope indicated on the original as-built
drawings. An AC shoulder of variable width exists along the edge of the travel way with no parking.
On the southbound side, a V-gutter exists at the edge of the shoulder from the bridge north to about
halfway between the two cross streets, Telstar Avenue and Whitmore Street. North of the V-gutter is
an asphalt berm. The roadway was widened to the present 3-lane configuration from the original two
lanes sometime in the past. All wheel paths are encompassed by the original pavement section of 3 to
3 '/.-inches of AC on native material, shown on the original as-built plans, dated 1950. These original
plans indicate cement treated base, but evidently the soil was of such good quality at this location
near the Rio Hondo River alluvial zone, that the cement treated base was not used along this length of
the roadway. This structural section extends 36 feet out from the median curb on both sides of the
median. The additional width was added at a later time to create a shoulder. The shoulder is in good
condition.
Core Results
Based on cores, overlays have been installed on the original section as follows:
A single overlay of 2'/.- to 21/2-inch thickness was placed on the 3 to 3'/.-inch original AC
pavement. The same section was encountered in both No. 2 and No. 3 lanes. The overlay
appears to have been placed fairly recently, most likely within the past 5 years.
Unfortunately, the overlay seems to not be well bonded to the existing original surface, since
the core in the No. 2 lane was completely disbonded and very wet at the interface between the
layers.
The median curb face was reduced in the last overlay.
Visual Structural Condition
The existing condition has severe alligator cracking developing in the No. 3 right wheel paths. The
left wheel path is in slightly better condition but very similar.
The same situation exists on the No. 2 lane, where conditions are somewhat better, but alligator

S
MACTEC Project 7013110359-6 Page 5
cracking still exists in both wheel paths.
The No. 1 lane is essentially free of cracks at present.
All of the cracking is reflecting through the relatively recent overlay, placed within the past 5 or 6
years.
4.2 10 FREENVAY TO VALLEY BOULEVARD
Existing Structural Section
This segment of roadway has two lanes in each direction with parking on both sides. Originally a 16-
foot median was constructed with 32 feet from median curb to a 2-foot curb and gutter on both sides.
The original median configuration and curb and gutter are still in place.
Basically, the same original structural section appears on the as-built drawings, dated 1950, as for the
pavement south of the 10 Freeway, i.e., 4-inches AC on 8-inches cement treated base. However, in
this case, some cement treated base was actually installed, but only on the southbound side based on
the cores. The addition of cement treated base corresponds with what appears to be a slightly lesser
quality of soil north of the freeway.
Core Results
There is a difference in pavement section on the roadway based on core sampling as follows:
Both sides of the street have an asphalt rubber and aggregate membrane on the surface that
was installed in 1988.
The southbound side had a pavement thickness of 5 to 5'/. inches, most likely with an overlay
that was difficult to discern. It is possible that the overlay was so well bonded and of the
same mix type, so that the interface was not detectable. Based on as-built plans, the general
pavement section in other areas, and the reduction in curb face, it seems clear that an overlay
was actually performed. This pavement was placed on 6 inches of cement treated base.
The northbound side had a '/.-inch wear course on 1'/2-inch overlay that was on a wet,
disbonded and badly decomposed layer l '/z-inch thick in the No. 1 lane. The core in the No.
2 lane was a 3-inch overlay on a 2-inch layer of AC. Both of these pavements were placed on
12-inch decomposed granite sub base.

14 ildun - Pavement lnvestigution Report
AdACTEC Pro/ect 7013110359-6 Page 6
Visual Structural Condition
All wheel paths in all lanes have relatively severe alligator cracking. The cracking tends to be more
extensive and more severe in the No. 2 lanes. Potholes are developing and have been patched in
numerous locations. The severity of cracking is at least as bad if not worse in the northbound No. I
lane as in the northbound No. 2 lane, possibly due to median irrigation water intrusion. The
southbound lanes are in better condition than the northbound side. The severity of existing cracking
is to a great extent masked by the asphalt rubber chip sea] membrane that was installed in 1988. In
most areas except near potholes, the cracks are visible, but have healed over due to the high
percentage of asphalt rubber binder in the membrane.
43 VALLE), BOULEVARD TO 500 FEET FORTH OF LOWER AZUSA ROAD
Existing Structural Section
North of Valley Boulevard, medians did not exist in the first overlay section constructed in 1937.
Medians were added about 1950. The central 28 feet of pavement was originally constructed, prior to
the structural upgrade performed in 1937. In 1937, the plans called for the central 28 feet to be
overlaid with 2 inches of AC along with construction of the outer 23 feet of pavement on either side
of this central strip. These outer areas consist of an 11-foot width of 61/2-inch concrete with edges
thickened to 9 inches over the outer 2 feet of the slab on both sides. Dowels were installed on joints.
The concrete strips were installed adjacent to and on both sides of the central 28-foot strip, which are
shown on the original plans to be placed at matching grades to the top of the 2-inch AC overlay over
the central strip of AC. Cores revealed a change that was made as discussed under Core Results
below. The outer strips of pavement on both sides of the street consist of an approximately 12-foot
width of 3-inch AC on native subgrade, originally constructed with the concrete pavement in 1937.
A 14-foot median was later installed on this se-ment. This created the present lane configuration of
number one lanes with left wheel paths on AC next to the median and right wheel paths comfortably
within the concrete pavement strip. The No. 2 lanes have left wheel paths well within the concrete
area with the right wheel paths fully on the AC strip between thegutter and the concrete strip.
Core Results
Cores indicate that the street was constructed generally corresponding with original plans with some
significant changes. An asphalt rubber and aggregate membrane was installed on both sides full-

length and an overlay of asphalt rubber hot mix was added on the membrane on the southbound side
in 1988. The ARHM overlay was terminated at the north and of the left turn pocket north of Lower
Azusa Road. The cores revealed the following underlying pavement structure:
A core in the area between the concrete strip and the median northbound revealed a 2%z-inch
laver on another 21/2-inch layer, which were disbonded from each other and wet at the
interface. This corresponds with the as-built plans of the original pavement overlaid at the
time of the placement of the concrete strip.
A core in the No. 2 northbound lane outside of the concrete strip revealed 2-3/8-inch
pavement, again corresponding with the as-built plans for widening adjacent to the concrete
strip.
A third core in the concrete strip in the No. 1 lane southbound revealed that a 2 3/8-inch
overlay had been placed on the PCC indicating that the entire width received a 2 3/8- to 2'/2-
inch lift at the time of completion of the PCC strip. The PCC was evidently constructed on
grade with the previously existing central roadway, rather than on grade with the top of the
overlay elevation.
A core in the southbound No. 2 lane north of the left turn pocket at Lower Azusa Road had
the asphalt rubber and aggregate membrane on a 11/2-inch AC overlay on 7-inch thick PCC,
corresponding with the original as-built plans, with the addition of the AC overlay and
membrane. The asphalt rubber hot nvx overlay was evidently terminated north of Lower
Azusa Road. This short segment also had one other difference, because it was constructed
with the top of the PCC strips on grade with the top of the AC constructed in the same
project, corresponding to the plans for the project in 1950. The AC overlay was installed
sometime later apparently for uniformity with the southerly segment, which had a full asphalt
surface. This condition exists in a short segment beginning about 500 feet North of Lower
Azusa to the beginning of this segment of PCC pavement described in the next segment
below. This 120 feet of transition segment was actually constructed with the PCC segment,
but is included here to minimize confusion by keeping it with adjoining pavement of the same
basic type.
Another core, in the No. 2 lane (right wheel path) northbound north of Lower Azusa, was a
disbonded 2'/.-inch overlay on 33/-inch original pavement over 12-inch decomposed granite
sub base, a similar section to the northbound near Valley Boulevard. This original pavement
appears to have been constructed with the project described in the previous core.
Visual Structural Condition
Northbound, with the exception of the l 1-foot strip of concrete partially in both lanes, the asphalt
appears to be seriously cracked. Again, the asphalt rubber chip seal generally masks the cracks, but
thev are still visible. There are very severely cracked areas in the wheel paths adjacent to the median

where irrigation water has saturated the subgrade. Potholes are developing in these areas.
On the southbound side, the asphalt rubber overlay on the asphalt rubber interlayer has largely
resisted cracked reflection. There is severe rutting developing, however. Some PCC joints are
beginning to reflect through the surface layers.
Median curb height has been reduced by previous overlays.
4.4 500 FEET NORTH OF LONVER AZUSA ROAD TO CITY LimiT
Existing Structural Section
The pavement in this area was constructed as a quite different structural section overall than south of
this length, and is PCC pavement in all travel lanes (except for the 120-foot transition segment
described with the previous two cores). The travel lanes Iota] less than 21 feet in width on either side
of the median. This has pushed the right wheel paths in the No. 2 lanes over onto the shoulder for
much of the truck traffic. There is a variable width shoulder of AC pavement 3-inches thick
constructed on native material, based on the as-built plans. There is a 6-foot median with 1-foot drain
away gutter in the center of the roadway. There is a 3-foot gutter on each side of the roadway.
Vistial Structural Condition
The travel lanes are slabs average l I feet in width and length. The shoulder is block cracked with
alligator cracking along the joint with the PCC central pavement. This alligator cracking is failing, as
truck wheel loads are drifting onto the shoulder. The PCC slab system clearly is approaching the end
of its lifespan, since approximately one-third of the slabs have broken into smaller pieces.
5.0 REHABILITATION METHODS
It should be noted that a wide range of possible methods were considered to provide an overlay for
the purposes of structural rehabilitation:
• Pavement fabric was considered, but has potential flushing under heavy traffic with resultant
rutting and skid resistance problems. If not enough binder is used, on the other hand, the
pavement has a tendency to delaminate in the latter part of its lifespan. Basically, the
advantages did not outweigh the uncertainties for this product. Also, to be effective, a
•

leveling course is necessary, which creates increased cost and difficulties with grade
constraints.
• Glassgrid is a fairly stiff network of fiberglass plastic netting used between an overlay and a
leveling course. There was some potential for use of this treatment, but the cost of the
Glasgrid plus a leveling course was prohibitive. Properly applied, Glasgrid is effective in
preventing reflection of alligator and block cracks.
• Asphalt rubber hot mix (ARHM) was considered, and is recommended as a potential
strategy in selected areas.
• Asphalt rubber and aggregate membrane (ARAM) interlayer was considered, and is
recommended as a potential strategy in selected areas
• Paveprep, a thick rubberized mastic with woven fabric on both sides is highly effective on
singular joints and cracks. It was considered as an option in lieu of an asphalt rubber and
aggregate membrane, but was cost prohibitive.
• Special asphalt mixes were considered, and a special asphalt rubber mix was also considered
as the base layer for reconstructed pavement. This mix would have an increased binder
content to make the bottom layer more flexible to extend the lifespan before cracking. It is
recommended that if the roadway is reconstructed with AC pavement, the bottom lift be such
a material.
6.0 DEFLECTION TEST RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
6.1 SOUTH OF 10 FREEWAY
Southbound
This segment has 3 inches of AC in the original section on native soil. The original pavement was
evidently highly deteriorated when the roadway was overlaid with 2'/2 inches about 4 or 5 years ago.
This is indicated by the wet interface between the generally disbonded original pavement and the
overlay in the No. 3 lane. Deflections are very high on the No. 3 lane requiring an overlay
approaching 6 inches. On the No. 2 lane, conditions are a little better, but the overlay requirement
still is approaching 5 inches.
Recommendations
Alligator cracking is rapidly returning to the No. 2 lane, and is well progressed in the No. 3 lane with
indications that base failure is beginning to occur in many areas of this lane. This is a clear indication
that overlay of this pavement is not really practical. The underlying original pavement of a highly
deteriorated 3 inches on native soil is just not an adequate base for pavement on this major arterial.
The No. 1 lane was overlaid in the last project and the median curb face height was dramatically
Wildan - Pavement Invesrigurion Report Ma 29, 2003
MACTEC Project 7013110359-6 Page 10
reduced in the process. Additional overlay in this lane would not be possible, if curb height and cross
fall drainage were to be sustained. The entire roadway would need to be profiled and this would take
the pavement back to the original highly deteriorated 3-inch AC constructed in 1950. Again, this is
not viable for an arterial roadway of modern traffic volume. Therefore, we recommend reconstructing
this segment of the roadway in all lanes.
6.2 VALLEY BOULEVARD TO 10 FREEWAY
Northbound
The northbound No. 2 lane requires a 4'/2- to 51/2-inch overlay.
Northbound No. I lane has a similar pavement structure with lesser deflections and lesser overlay
requirement.
Southbound
Southbound No. I lane has a much larger requirement for overlay than the No. 2 lane. This is likely
caused by the need to limit overlay thickness along medians to sustain cross fall. As a result, the
outer lane has a thinner section recommended for overlay and lesser deflections. The overlay
requirements register at 11/2 inches in the No. I lane and about '/z inch the No. 2 lane.
Recommendations
On the northbound side, the pavement consists of two layers or more with a total thickness of 4 to 5-
inches placed on decomposed granite. Based on cores, some of the original or bottom layer is
actually decomposing, since its construction in 1950. As indicated by as-built plans and cores, an
overlay was installed, which has reduced the median curb height. Basically, to install a sufficient
overlay would not be possible under these conditions.
On the southbound side, due to a cement treated base layer, the deflections are substantially less than
on the northbound side. Still, the need for an overlay is quite significant, and the concept of cold
milling enough depth to provide relief from reflective cracking and also make up for the thickness
removed by milling is not really viable. Potholes developing in many areas where the cement treated
base is evidently breaking down are scattered along the length of various wheel paths. As a result,
reconstruction repairs of such areas are not practical. The deflection readings did not generally

Wildon - Pavement Invest4ofinn Report Page 11
MACTEC Project 7013110359-6
coincide with these locations, but the structural weakness is quite evident. The extra thickness that is
supporting the No. 2 lane would be removed in a uniform profiling and the median provides a rigid
constraint, since curb height is already diminished. Due to the frequency of alligator cracking and
potholes in the No. 2 lane and the very significant overlay requirement in the No. 1 lane, such an
approach is unlikely to be successful on this roadway with its heavy traffic loading. Naturally,
matching grades with the reconstructed northbound side is also a complication, and therefore we
recommend reconstruction of the southbound side.
6.3 VALLE), BOULEVARD TO PCC NORTH OF LOWER AZUSA AVENUE
Northbound
The northbound No. 2 lane deflection results indicate need for an overlay of 4'/z inches or more. This
would be entirely impractical to implement, because previous overlays have already decreased the
median curb height and have left thick edges above the edge of gutter.
The northbound No. 1 lane generally requires a 1'/s- to 2-inch overlay based on the deflection
analysis. There is severe deterioration and some potholes that indicate a very weak condition.
Southbound
Deflections in the southbound No. 1 and No. 2 lanes both show the need of an overlay, even though
both of these lanes received an extra l''/z-inch overlay of asphalt rubber hot mix, which is uncracked at
present. Indications are that the underlying support for the ARM overlay is the same as on the
northbound side, as confirmed by core information. The excessive rutting in these lanes means the
ARNM overlay and interlayer will need to be removed, which will result in the pavement section and
condition being similar to the northbound lanes.
Recommendations
Overall, adding overlay thickness is not possible on this segment without deep cold milling, which
would leave the pavement section at approximately the thickness that existed for the original nominal
2 '/s-inch pavement placed in 1950 without any aggregate base. Based on reflective cracking in both
northbound lanes, the potholes, which are occurring in the northbound No. 2 lane, and the high
deflections on the northbound side, the original pavement is in highly deteriorated condition. Since it
is clearly inadequate to support the demands of this major arterial, which has evolved as the
• 0 Mav?9, 2003
Wildan - Pavement lnve.vigalion Report Pace 17
MACTECProjeci 7013110359-6
Rosemead Boulevard of today, it will be necessary to reconstruct this roadway segment.
6.4 PCC NORTH OF LON'G'ER AZUSA TO NORTH CITY Lim IT
As discussed in Section 4.0, Existing Conditions, a central PC concrete slab system exists, which is
narrow with the outside wheel paths of the truck lanes on the AC shoulder joint. The slab system is
53 years old and is gradually breaking up. There exist two methods to upgrade the. pavement
structural system, either by overlay or by reconstruction. In any case, the shoulders will need
reconstruction to support the left truck wheel paths and to also provided for the future third lanes,
which as previously indicated will be needed for the heavy and increasing traffic volumes.
Recommendations
With the joint between shoulder and the central slab system in the No. 2 lane wheel paths, any
overlay would need to provide special measures to avoid the effects of differential support across the
joint, and prevent joint reflection tendencies in general. Reconstruction of this shoulder with dowels
along the joints would be the most dependable way to eliminate differential support difficulties. This
would leave the full roadway as a slab system, with the general need to provide for elimination of
joint reflection through the overlay provided to strengthen the central area. Unfortunately, an overlay
structure with enough stability to resist joint reflection would be a little over 4 inches thick. This
would reduce the curb height on the median to about 2 inches. Reconstruction of the median is a
viable option to raise the curb height to accommodate the overlay. In any case, the time for joint
reflection to occur cannot be accurately estimated. The 4'/2-inch overlay system as discussed above
would consist of joint filling, a '/s-inch leveling course, an ARAM interlayer, and a 31/2-inch asphalt
rubber hot mix overlay. This system could provide many years of service (possibly up to 20) without
reflective cracking based on past experience with similar circumstances, but this is difficult to
determine with any degree of certainty. There exist no direct quantification methods to evaluate the
tendency for PCC joint reflection through an overlay.
The other option is reconstruction as recommended for the remainder of Rosemead Boulevard in this
study. This may actually prove to be the most cost effective approach, considering the small
quantities of ARM and ARAM interlayer and the need to reconstruct the median. Economy of scale
will apply if the same approach of reconstruction is applied as for the remainder of the roadway, but
the inverse will impact the costs of asphalt rubber materials and mobilizations. In other words, the
0 •

small quantity of asphalt rubber materials could increase their unit costs, such that the cost of overlay
is close to the cost of reconstruction.
7.0 STRUCTURAL SECTIONS
Project site subgrade R-value of minimum 70 was determined and Traffic Index of 10.5 and 11
extended the following structural sections using the Caltrans design procedure outlined in the Caltrans
Highway Design Manual.

As discussed in Section 6.0 Deflection Test Results and Recommendations, overlay of pavements is
generally not feasible except for the segment of PCC pavement north of Lower Azusa, which could
be overlaid as outlined below, assuming the shoulder was reconstructed in PCC pavement as
described in Section 6.0.

8.0 CONCLUSIONS
The age and condition of the roadway in conjunction with the high traffic loads that must be sustained
by the pavement in the modem time frame, ]ends itself strongly to full pavement reconstruction. The
original underlying pavement and limited base layers are simply insufficient to provide support for an
upgrade of the structure by overlay. The recommendations for full structural section replacement
outlined in Table 7.1 should by used in designing the roadway structural improvement.
Wildon - Pavement Investigation Reporl May19, ?003
MACTEC Project 7013110359-6 Page 14
The importance of providing quality asphalt concrete mix and good compaction for overlays cannot
be overstated. This is a matter of some basic materials approvals and testing. It is, therefore, highly
recommended that basic compaction testing and plant inspection be performed. Nonconformance
with specifications in either of these crucial areas can dramatically shorten the time before cracking
occurs in the pavement and could possibly lead to other deleterious performance. Likewise, basic PC
concrete testing is necessary to verify a quality product for concrete pavement. Cylinder breaks for
compression, and verification of mix and slump are minimal requirements for these purposes.
