TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BILL R. MANIS, CITY MANAGER,4,c-;\
DATE: SEPTEMBER 12, 2017
SUBJECT: REQUEST TO INSTALL RED CURB— 1060 WALNUT GROVE AVENUE
SUMMARY
The Traffic Commission received a request from a resident living at 1060 Walnut Grove Avenue
to review traffic conditions and access to this property. The resident's complaints described a
lack of visibility when exiting and entering the property to and from Walnut Grove Avenue. On
August 3, 2017, the Traffic Commission reviewed the traffic conditions and recommended the
installation of an additional 10-feet of red curbing to the south of the driveway apron at 1060
Walnut Grove Avenue, along with the repainting of all existing red curbing within the area.
DISCUSSION
A resident living at the Park View Greens community located at 1060 Walnut Grove Avenue
submitted a request for additional red curbing to be installed on the east side of Walnut Grove
Avenue, south of the community's driveway entrance and exit. The residents stated that the
noted curb is currently non-colored and vehicles parked along the curb significantly block the
view of northbound traffic, which makes it difficult when exiting the community.
Walnut Grove Avenue is a north-south arterial street that is approximately 60-feet wide and
allows for two way traffic and restricted parking on both sides of the street. The posted speed
limit is 45 miles per hour (mph). Traffic volume in this location is moderate to heavy at times
due, in part, to it being an arterial street as well as its proximity to major corporate centers,
commercial areas, and the State Route 60 Freeway.
Staff reviewed the request with Transtech Engineering, a City approved Traffic Engineering
consulting firm. Based on a Line of Sight Analysis and Speed Survey conducted by Transtech
Engineering, it was determined that the approximate 77-feet of existing red curb south of the
resident's driveway and the existing 94-feet of red curb to the north of the driveway is within the
recommended distance to be clear of obstructions. Transtech Engineering recommended all of
the existing faded red curb along both sides of Walnut Grove Avenue and 12-feet on the north
side of Landis View Lane be repainted so they are more visible and clear. Upon discussion at
the Traffic Commission meeting, it was recommended to increase the 77-feet of existing red curb
ITEM NUMBER: 5,c

(south of the resident's driveway) to 87-feet. By adding the additional 10-feet of red curb,
visibility and accessibility issues will be further mitigated without any significant parking
implications.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the Traffic Commission's recommendation to
add 10 additional feet of red curb to the south of the driveway apron at 1060 Walnut Grove
Avenue and repaint all existing red curbing within the area.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for this type of roadway improvement is included in the Annual Maintenance and
Operations Budget for Fiscal Year 2017-18, under the Public Works Department, Field Services
Division.
STRATEGIC PLAN IMPACT—None
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Section 15301 (C) of the CEQA Implementing Guidelines.

STAFF REPORT
/NCORFORATEU 1069
TO: TRAFFIC COMMISSION
FROM: MICHELLE G. RAMIREZ, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
DATE: AUGUST 3, 2017
SUBJECT: INSTALLATION OF RED CURB — 1060 WALNUT GROVE AVENUE
SUMMARY
On December 05, 2013 and February 06, 2014, the Traffic Commission reviewed a request
from a resident regarding traffic conditions and access to the property at 1060 Walnut Grove
Avenue. The resident's complaints described a lack of visibility when exiting and entering
the property to and from Walnut Grove Avenue, which creates hazardous conditions. It had
been requested that parking restrictions (red curbing) be installed in order to increase
visibility for vehicles that are entering and exiting the driveway. At the meeting of December
05, 2013, the Traffic Commissioners motioned to table the item to the next Traffic
Commission meeting to allow for additional outreach to nearby residents due to the number
of residents present at the meeting being opposed to the additional parking restrictions that
would result in the net loss of one parking space on Walnut Grove Avenue as well as
restrictions to parking on the adjacent street, Landis View Lane. The item was brought back
to the Traffic Commission meeting of February 06, 2014, where the Commission motioned
that the item be tabled in order to allow staff to conduct a radar speed survey to determine
the speed vehicles are traveling at and, if necessary, come up with possible traffic calming
solutions.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Traffic Commission take no further action on this request based
on the results of all studies conducted at this site. Staff will ensure all existing red curbing
within the area is repainted accordingly.
ANALYSIS
A resident living at the Park View Greens community located at 1060 Walnut Grove Avenue
submitted a request for additional red curbing to be installed on the east side of Walnut Grove
Avenue, south of the community's entrance and exit driveway. The residents stated that the
noted curb is currently non-colored and vehicles parked along the curb significantly block the
view of northbound traffic, which makes it difficult when exiting the community.
f Walnut Grove Avenue is a north-south arterial street that is approximately 60-feet wide and
allows for two way traffic and restricted parking on both sides of the street. The posted speed
limit is 45 miles per hour (mph). Traffic volume in this location is moderate to heavy at times
due, in part, to its being an arterial street as well as its proximity to major corporate centers,
commercial areas, and the State Route 60 Freeway.
Traffic Commission Meeting
August 3, 2017
Page 2of10
A request was received to investigate traffic conditions and accessibility at 1060 Walnut
Grove Avenue. As it passes this property, the northbound traffic on Walnut Grove Avenue is
coming down a slight decline in the road and it is traveling at a 85th% speed of 40 mph,
according to the Speed Survey conducted in this area, 5 mph slower than the posted speed
limit of 45 mph. There is 77-feet of existing red curb south of the driveway apron to prevent
vehicles from parking too close to the driveway and blocking the view of approaching traffic.
Staff has reviewed the site and determined that the approximate 77-feet of existing red curb
is within the recommended distance to be clear of obstructions according to the line of sight
analysis. Staff will have the existing faded red curbing along Walnut Grove Avenue and
Landis View Lane be repainted so they are more visible and clear.
Line of Sight
The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) "A Policy
on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets" and other engineering resources have set up
guidelines and standards for estimating line of sight at intersections.
Improving Sight Lines at Crosswalks and Crossing Vehicles
At pedestrian crossings and at side street crossings, generous sight distances and
unobstructed sight lines allow motorists and pedestrians to detect each other in time to avoid
collisions. Sight lines should be designed so that the motorist can observe the movement of
the pedestrian or a crossing motorist for a long enough period of time to accurately determine
the approaching vehicles or pedestrians speed. If the motorist has only a brief glimpse of a
waiting pedestrian or car, then they cannot observe their speed and may not sufficiently slow
their approach to the crosswalk or anticipate a crossing vehicle in time to stop. A vehicle's
driver needs to be able to have room to stop before colliding with something in the roadway,
such as a pedestrian in a crosswalk, a stopped vehicle, or road debris.
To allow drivers to perceive, react, and safely stop, a minimum stopping sight distance must
be available. Stopping sight distance is defined as the sum of two distances (AASHTO,
Green Book):
1. Reaction distance — the distance traveled by the vehicle from the instant the driver
sees an object necessitating a stop to the instant the brakes are applied; plus
2. Braking distance — the distance traveled by the vehicle from the instant brake
application begins to the instant when the vehicle has come to complete stop.
The reaction distance is based on the reaction time of the driver and the speed of the vehicle.
The braking distance is dependent upon the vehicle speed and the coefficient of friction
between the tires and roadway.
Traffic Commission Meeting
August 3, 2017
Page 3 of 10
AASHTO (AASHTO Table 3-1 Stopping Sight Distance on Level Roadways) lists minimum
recommended stopping sight distances based on design speed and the sum of reaction
distance and braking distance. For example, at 45 mph (Walnut Grove Avenue) 165.4 feet
is needed for brake reaction distance and 194.4 feet is needed for braking distance. When
these numbers are added and rounded, the total distance is rounded to 360 feet. Walnut
Grove Avenue has a posted speed of 45 mph.

To determine whether an object is a sight obstruction, both the horizontal and vertical
alignment of both roadways is considered, as well as the height and position of the object
(AASHTO, Green Book). For passenger vehicles, it is assumed that the driver's eye height
is 3.5 feet and the height of an approaching vehicle is 4.25 feet above the roadway surface.
At the decision point, the driver's eye height is used for measurement. Any object within the
sight triangle that would obstruct the driver's view of an approaching vehicle (4.25 feet in
height) should be removed or modified or appropriate traffic control devices should be
installed as per the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Obstructions within
sight triangles could be buildings, vehicles, hedges, trees, bushes, tall crops, walls, fences,
etc. The figure above shows a sight triangle and the clear view triangle.
See attachment 3 for the line of sight triangle for Walnut Grove Avenue and the driveway
intersection and the distance recommended to keep clear of obstructions. According to the
line of sight triangle approximately 74-feet of curb should be kept clear of any obstructions
on the south side of the driveway apron and approximately 28-feet of curb should be kept
clear of any obstructions on the north side of the driveway apron.
Staff has reviewed the site and determined that the approximate 77-feet of existing red curb
south of the applicant's driveway and the existing 94' of red curb to the north of the driveway
is within the recommended distance to be clear of obstructions according to the line of sight
analysis. All of the existing faded red curb along both sides of Walnut Grove Avenue and
the 12' on the north side of Landis View Lane should be repainted so they are more visible
and clear.
RADAR SPEED SURVEY
To determine actual speeds along Walnut Grove Avenue, a radar speed survey was
conducted on Tuesday, February 14, 2017, on Walnut Grove Avenue between La Madrina
Drive and Landis View Lane from 10:00 am to 11:00 pm. The radar measurements followed
guidelines and procedures outlined in the CVC Sections 627, 21400, 22358 and the
CAMUTCD 2B.13. Speed samples were taken from an unmarked vehicle so as not to alter
or impede the free flow of traffic.
The table below shows the 2017 speed survey results:

As shown in the table above, the speed samples taken on February 14, 2017, show that the
85th percentile speed of vehicles is at 39.5 mph for Walnut Grove Avenue between La
Madrina Drive and Landis View Lane in both directions, which is below the posted speed limit
of 45 mph. The speed samples determined that there is no speeding issue along Walnut
Grove Avenue between La Madrina Drive and Landis View Lane.

Dear Ms.Garcia,
First t would like to wish you a happy new year;I hope you had a wonderful holiday season.
i am writing to you today as a concerned home owner to ask if the city may consider changing color of
the curb zoning for the 1032 to 1096 block on the south bound of Walnut Grove Avenue.
•
Currently the 1032 to 1096 block on the south bound of Walnut Grove Avenue is a non-colored curb,
cars parked along that curb significantly blocks the view of the vehicles exiting the Park View Greens
community.The ability to see on coming cards traveling south bound is severely blocked,combining that
with vehicles traveling southbound at relatively high speed is potentially a catastrophe waiting to
happen.
Thank you for listening.I'm sure you'll do the right thing. l w ►assist in any way that 1 can.
Feel free to contact me with anything.My phone number is(626)321-2224.

Subject: traffic safety public hearing on 8/3/17 at 7pm
To: City of Rosemead, Public Works Department
Location: 1050-1090 Walnut Grove Avenue, Rosemead, CA 91770
Description: There is a red curb a few feet away from the fire hydrant and cars tend to park along this entire side of the
street at all times, including in front of the fire hydrant and red curb. I, along with the entire Park View Greens community
exit the Park View Greens complex at 1050-1090 Walnut Grove Avenue on a daily basis. It makes it very difficult to exit
the driveway safely, as the vehicles parked along the street impair a clear view of oncoming traffic traveling northbound on
Walnut Grove. There have been accidents along with daily instances where accidents were avoided.
My neighbors in the PVG community(1050-1090 Walnut Grove Avenue), my family, friends and I are constantly in danger
when exiting the complex. The only way to exit the complex, is by blocking the sidewalk and driving into the first lane and
blocking the nib lane closest to the curb. This is due to the vehicles parked along the south side of the street, which
obstruct and impair a clear view of oncoming traffic
The possibility and attention to install additional parking restrictions (red curbing) on the south side of
the driveway at 1050 Walnut Grove Avenue will help solve this traffic safety issue in this area. It will
provide a clear and safe view of oncoming traffic for vehicles attempting to exit the complex, prevent
t- suture accidents and maintain our community safe.
The Park View Greens (1050-1090 Walnut Grove)community and I appreciate your attention to this public safety matter.
Kind regards,
cecy lopez
