RE: REQUEST FOR INSTALL PARKING RESTRICTIONS AT 2525 SAN
GABRIEL BOULEVARD
Staff received a request from a business owner at 2525 San Gabriel Boulevard to install
time limit parking. The business owner claimed that some vehicles park in front of his
business all day and thus parking for his customers is not available.
Upon investigating this matter, staff recommended denying the business owner's
request as there is a shared parking lot on the north side of his building. The attached
Traffic Commission staff report provides a detailed analysis of the site.
After taking public comment on this matter, the Traffic Commission recommended
installing 40 feet of green curb, with a 20-minute limit, flanked by 8 feet of red curb as
shown on the attached exhibit.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Traffic Commission's recommendation to install green (20-minute time
limit) and red curb in front of 2525 San Gabriel Boulevard.

Staff Report
Rosemead Traffic Commission
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRMAN
AND MEMBERS
ROSEMEAD TRAFFIC COMMISSSION
FROM: JOANNE ITAGAKI, TRAFFIC ENGINEERING DEPUTY
DATE: December 28, 2005
RE: Request to Install Time Limit Parking at 2525 San Gabriel
Boulevard
REQUEST
Mr. Cesar Santos, owner of Casa De Liquor at 2525 San Gabriel Boulevard, has
requested time limit parking as his business (letter attached). Mr. Santos
indicates that some vehicles park in front of his business all day and his
customers cannot be accommodated.
Casa De Liquor is located on the northwest corner of San Gabriel Boulevard and
Garvalia Avenue. The front door is located on San Gabriel Boulevard. There is
a shared parking lot for Casa De Liquor and Long's Auto Sound to the north of
the building.
The shared parking lot has 6 parking stalls and 1 handicap-parking stall. It is a
one-way access parking lot with incoming access on San Gabriel Boulevard and
exiting access on Garvalia Avenue. There are signs in the parking lot identifying
customer parking for Casa De Liquor and Long's Auto Sound. Based on the
location of the signs, it appears that parking spaces immediately north of Casa
De Liquor are designated for their customers. Those spaces on the north
property line are designated for Long's Auto Sound customers.
Exhibit A depicts the general conditions surrounding 2525 San Gabriel
Boulevard. Pictures of the subject property will be available at the Traffic
Commission meeting.
DATA
The reported collision history in the vicinity of 2525 San Gabriel Boulevard was
reviewed for the period from January 1, 2002 to the present. There were 3
reported collisions occurring at the intersection of San Gabriel Boulevard and
Garvalia Avenue. None of these reported collisions appear to be associated with
parking along the west curb line of San Gabriel Boulevard. Exhibit B summarizes
the reported collisions.

Request to Install Time Limit Parking at
2525 San Gabriel Boulevard
Page 2 of 2
DISCUSSION
Field observations were made of 2525 San Gabriel Boulevard during the
afternoon hours. During this time, on street parking was available for customers
of the subject property. Most vehicles parked for a limited time, entered the store
and then drove away. There were also 3 vehicles parked in the parking lot
leaving 4 open spaces.
North of 2525 San Gabriel Boulevard there appears to be auto repair shops.
These shops do not appear to have sufficient on-site parking for customers. This
may lead to vehicles parking for long periods on San Gabriel Boulevard. City
staff has encountered similar concerns with long term on street parking at other
auto repair shop locations.
There may be times when the on street parking in front of 2525 San Gabriel
Boulevard is occupied. However, this business has a parking lot that can
accommodate its customers and there is ample on street parking on Garvalia
Avenue. The parking lot may not be as convenient as on street parking but it still
offers customers a parking location.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on field observations
change recommended for on
Boulevard.
Attachments
and the availability of a parking lot, there is no
