CC - Item 4F - Request of Additional Traffic Controlsi 0
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR
AND MEMBERS
ROSEME CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BILL CR E, CITY MANAGER
DATE: JUNE 7, 2005
RE: REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC CONTROLS AT ANGELUS
AVENUE/KLINGERMAN STREET AND ANGELUS AVENUE/FERN
AVENUE
Councilmember Clark received a letter from several Angelus Avenue area residents
concerned with the number of Rice Elementary School students crossing in the area of
Angelus Avenue/Klingerman Street and the lack of centerline striping at the Angelus
Avenue/Fern Avenue curve.
School children cross in the area of Angelus Avenue/Klingerman Street on their way to the
bridge over the Alhambra Wash that leads to the area of Rice Elementary School. The
Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices states that school warning assemblies may be
posted up to 500 feet in advance of a school boundary. The intersection of Angelus
Avenue/Klingerman Street is within 500 feet of the school.
Field observations confirmed that there is no striping on the curve of Angelus Avenue and
Fern Avenue.
Based on the above, the Traffic Commission recommended installing a school warning
assembly for southbound Angelus Avenue north of Klingerman Street and for westbound
Klingerman Street east of Angelus Avenue, and double yellow centerline striping with
reflectors on the curve of Angelus Avenue and Fern Avenue.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Traffic Commission's recommendation to install a school warning assembly for
southbound Angelus Avenue north of Klingerman Street and for westbound Klingerman
Street east of Angelus Avenue, and double yellow centerline striping with reflectors on the
curve of Angelus Avenue and Fern Avenue.

Staff Report
Rosemead Traffic Commission
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRMAN
AND MEMBERS
ROSEMEAD TRAFFIC COMMISSSION
FROM: JOANNE ITAGAKI, TRAFFIC ENGINEERING DEPUTY
DATE: May 2, 2005
RE: Request for Additional Traffic Controls at Klingerman Street
and Angelus Avenue
REQUEST
Councilmember Clark received a letter (attached) regarding traffic controls at the
intersection of Klingerman Street/Angelus Avenue and Angelus Avenue/Fern
Avenue. Several residents in the vicinity of the intersection signed the letter.
The residents were concerned with the number of children crossing in the area of
Klingerman Street and Angelus Avenue that attend Rice Elementary School. In
addition, some residents of Angelus Senior Housing walk in the neighborhood.
The residents also expressed concern that there was no striping through the
curve at Angelus Avenue and Fern Avenue.
Klingerman Street is a 62-foot wide roadway east of Delta Avenue. At this point,
the roadway provides 2 lanes of traffic in each direction separated by a double
yellow centerline. The roadway then narrows to approximately 36 feet wide with
one lane in each direction separated by a double yellow centerline.
Angelus Avenue intersects Klingerman Street at an "L" intersection. Angelus
Avenue continues with the 36-foot roadway width and double yellow centerline
striping. The double yellow centerline ends approximately 50 feet beyond the
end of the curve.
Fern Avenue is a 36-foot roadway with no striping. Fern Avenue intersects
Angelus Avenue at an "L" intersection.
The speed limit on Klingerman Street, Angelus Avenue and Fern Avenue is 25
mph.
Photos and exhibits of the subject locations will be` available at the Traffic
Commission meeting.

May 5, 2005 Traffic Commission Meeting
Request for Additional Traffic Controls at
Klingerman Street and Angelus Avenue
DATA
The reported collision history at these two intersections will be available at the
Traffic Commission meeting.
DISCUSSION
Field observations were made during the early afternoon hours. During that time,
a few seniors were walking in the area but no school age pedestrians were
observed. However, discussions with City staff confirm that school age
pedestrians do cross in the area of Klingerman Street and Angelus Avenue to
access the bridge to Rice Elementary School.
Field observations also confirm that there is no striping on the curve of Angelus
Avenue and Fern Avenue. The installation of double yellow centerline striping is
recommended to assist motorists in negotiating this turn.
The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) is the state of
California's "traffic manual". The MUTCD is the source the City uses when
determining if the installation of traffic control devices satisfy the guidelines
provided in the MUTCD.
The MUTCD states that a school warning assembly may be posted up to 500
feet in advance of a school boundary. The intersection of Klingerman Street and
Angelus Avenue is less than 500 feet from the boundary of Rice Elementary
School.
Install school warning assembly (S1-1 and S4-3 signs) for southbound Angelus
Avenue north of Klingerman Street and for westbound Klingerman Street east of
Angelus Avenue. Install double yellow centerline striping on the curve of Angelus
Avenue and Fern Avenue. Exhibit 1 will be available at the Traffic Commission
meeting to identify these recommendations.
