Recommendation: That the City Council approve the second reading and adoption of Ordinance No. 995 by title only, entitled: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD, COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, FOR THE APPROVAL OF MCA 20-01, AMENDING TITLE 17 (ZONING) OF THE ROSEMEAD MUNICIPAL CODE TO COMPLY WITH NEW STATE PROVISIONS FOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS (ADUs) 3 Rosemead City Council, Successor Agency and Housing Development Corporation Regular Joint Meeting Agenda September 8, 2020 D. Approval of Traffic Commission Recommendations from the August 6, 2020, Traffic Commission Meeting for Curb Markings At the August 6, 2020 Traffic Commission Meeting, staff presented the following two items for review and consideration: Garvey Avenue Line of Sight Review at the Driveway for the Palm Hotel (8463 Garvey Avenue); and 2. Review of Parking Conditions on Marshall Street between Bartlett Avenue and Muscatel Avenue. Recommendation: That the City Council approve Traffic Commission recommendations for the following items: 1. Garvey Avenue Line of Sight Review at the Driveway of the Palm Hotel (8463 Garvey Avenue): Installation of approximately 30' (feet) of red curb east of the driveway along the north side of Garvey Avenue. This recommendation is based on AASHTO's guidelines for Stopping Sight Distance. The red curb will improve line of sight and will allow vehicles exiting the Palm Motel driveway to see vehicles approaching westbound on Garvey Avenue in the curb lane traveling 35 mph. This will remove approximately one parking space in front of the Palm Motel and will still allow for 5 vehicles to park along the curb in front of the adjacent businesses; and 2. Review of Parking Conditions on Marshall Street between Bartlett Avenue and Muscatel Avenue: Installation of red curb from Bartlett Avenue to Muscatel Avenue on the north side of Marshall Street. This will remove approximately nine parking spaces; it will reinforce the existing no parking signage due to insufficient street width needed to allow for both parking and a travel lane in the WB direction. The segment from the wash to Muscatel Avenue is already posted with No Parking. The red curb will serve to make the "No Parking" segment more visible. Installation and replacement of the faded street sweeping parking restriction sign (R30A) at the southeast corner of the intersection of Marshall Street and Dubonnet Avenue. E. Approval of Partial Street Closure of Olney Street and Other Traffic Engineering Counter Measures In 2017, the City received requests to evaluate traffic conditions and traffic calming options on Olney Street between Rio Hondo Avenue and Temple City Boulevard due to reports of speeding and pass-through traffic of vehicles using this segment to access the westbound I-10 Freeway on-ramp on Temple City Boulevard. This item was reviewed and discussed at previous Traffic Commission Meetings. In response to various traffic concerns that were raised by the community at previous traffic commission meetings, staff recommended incremental measures that include a combination of enhanced traffic signage and pavement markings. In addition, many residents also expressed a greater preference to close the east end of Olney Street at Temple City Boulevard and eliminate the westbound I-10 freeway on - Rosemead City Council, Successor Agency and Housing Development Corporation Regular Joint Meeting Agenda September 8, 2020 ramp access from Olney Street as well as the access to Olney Street from southbound Temple City Boulevard. Based on community input and feedback received from the previous Traffic Commission meetings, this item was presented to City Council for direction. Based on this at the December 11, 2018 City Council Meeting, City Council directed staff to conduct a comprehensive Traffic Analysis Report to review all traffic movements impacting Olney Street and explore the feasibility of closing the east end of Olney Street. A Traffic Analysis Report was completed and presented to the Traffic Commission at the November 7, 2019 Traffic Commission Meeting. Based on the Traffic Analysis Report for Olney Street between Rio Hondo Avenue and Temple City Boulevard, the Traffic Commission recommended partial street closure of Olney Street, closing eastbound Olney Street to the I-10 Freeway WB on-ramp as well as installing radar speed feedback signs, warning signs, and larger speed limit signs on Olney Street to assist with traffic calming. At the December 10, 2019 City Council Meeting the recommendations from the Traffic Commission's November 7, 2019 meeting was presented to City Council. At that City Council Meeting, City Council recommended for staff to proceed with preliminary design and estimates of the recommendations and bring back to City Council for final consideration. Recommendation: That the City Council approve and direct staff to complete the construction plans and proceed with the project which includes a partial street closure of Olney Street by closing the east end of Olney Street to the westbound I- 10 Freeway on-ramp, installing radar speed feedback signs, larger speed limit signs, warning signs and message boards on Olney Street to assist with the new traffic flow and traffic calming.
