CALENDAR A. October 7, 2010 Minutes B. Request for Red Curb at 8747 Loftus Drive C. Encinita Avenue – Installation of Marked Parallel Parking T’s 3. NEW BUSINESS A. LOWER AZUSA ROAD/ROSEMEAD
BOULEVARD – WESTBOUND RIGHT TURN ONLY LANE SUMMARY A request was received to review the intersection of Lower Azusa Road/Rosemead Boulevard. The request was for the installation of a
westbound right turn only lane on Lower Azusa Road at Rosemead Boulevard. Since this intersection is under the jurisdiction of Caltrans (and shared with the City), it is appropriate
to initiate discussions with Caltrans to accommodate any lane or signal modifications. Staff Recommendation It is recommended that the Traffic Commission: 1. Recommend to Caltrans that
a westbound right turn only lane be installed at Lower Azusa Road/Rosemead Blvd (including the development of a signal modification plan, encroachment permit for lane modifications,
relocation of existing signal detector loops and “cat-track” striping through the intersection); 2. Recommend to the City Council that the westbound right turn only lane, adjusted lane
widths, and red curbing be installed to accommodate a dedicated right turn only lane. B. ROSEMEAD BOULEVARD/INTERSTATE 10 OFF RAMP MAINTENANCE ISSUES SUMMARY Commissioner Lewin requested
that an item be agendized to discuss maintenance issues along the Interstate 10 Freeway/Rosemead Boulevard. He is interested in developing a request to Caltrans for signage and street
marking improvements. Prior to making a written request, he is interested in discussing with the Commission to determine if additional maintenance items should be included in this request.
ROSEMEAD TRAFFIC COMMISSION November 4, 2010 Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the Traffic Commission provide further direction related to maintenance issue at the Instate 10
Freeway/Rosemead Boulevard. 4. STAFF REPORTS 5. COMMISSIONER REPORTS 6. ADJOURNMENT The next regular meeting is scheduled for December 2, 2010 at the Rosemead City Hall, City Council
