I am submitting this letter in order to request that you consider my reappointment as a member of
the Rosemead' Tiaf f c Commission. My term expired in April, 2001.
As you know, I have served on the Commission for many years, dealing with various issues
relating to traffic safety. Additionally, being a resident, I am concerned with the future of
Rosemead. All decisions that I make have been based upon what I feel would be best for the
City.
With these thoughts in mind, I respectfully request that I be reappointed a member of the
Rosemead Traffic Commission.
Respectfully submitted,
VICTO RUIZ

CC-A REQUEST FOR RED CURB ON THE WEST SIDE OF SAN GABRIEL.
BOULEVARD IN FRONT OF DIAMOND SQUARE
Councilman Taylor stated that he cannot vote for this item. Mr. Taylor stated that this is
good commercial property along San Gabriel Boulevard. Mr. Taylor explained that the residents
on Pine Street elected not to have the City install No Parking signs on that street. San Gabriel is
a gathering spot for day laborers to try and find work and the red curbing will move the problem
back to Pine Street, Mr. Taylor continued that he realizes there is a problem in that area, but the
red curbing will take away much needed legitimate and needed parking spaces for commercial
businesses.
Councilmember Clark suggested that this item be reviewed again as she agrees with
Councilman Taylor that the day laborer problem will be shifted back to Pine Street and other
residential streets. Mrs. Clark stated that the Diamond Square parking lot impacts parking on
surrounding streets because of lack of parking spaces.
Mayor Pro Tern Bruesch suggested also that this item be returned to the Traffic
Commission for further review and for an update of the parking situation at Diamond Square.
