ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: OLIVER CHI, CITY MANAGER &t;- G•
DATE: DECEMBER 11, 2007
SUBJECT: REMOVAL OF STOP SIGN ON JACKSON AVENUE AT WHITMORE
STREET
SUMMARY
Mr. Andy Loi, who resides at 3120 Jackson Avenue, expressed his concerns that the
new stop sign installed immediately north of his driveway had created an unsafe
condition for his family. At the November 20, 2007 City Council meeting staff was
directed to remove the stop sign and re-design the intersection for City Council
approval.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council approve the removal of the stop sign on Jackson
Avenue at Whitmore Street and the installation of advanced warning signs, rumble
strips, "Slow School Xing" markings, and a wheel chair ramp and ladder striping to the
crosswalk per the engineering plan (Attachment A).
ANALYSIS
The option of removing the stop sign north of Mr. Loi's driveway was selected to
alleviate his concerns of safety. However, additional engineering measures need to be
implemented to address safety of the crosswalk. Installation of advanced warning
signs, school crossing markings and rumble strips will make motorists slow down and
pay attention to the crossing. In addition, installation of ladder striping to the cross walk
makes it more visible to the motorists. The estimated cost of the proposed changes will
be $ 6,250.
