CC - Item 5D - Approval of Traffic Commission Recommendations from the August 6, 2020 Traffic Commission Meeting for Curb MarkingsROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: GLORIA MOLLEDA, CITY MANAGER _b. -A
DATE: SEPTEMBER 8, 2020
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF TRAFFIC COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS FROM
THE AUGUST 6, 2020, TRAFFIC COMMISSION MEETING FOR CURB
MARKINGS
SUMMARY
At the August 6, 2020 Traffic Commission Meeting, staff presented the following two items for
review and consideration:
1. 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.
Both items are recommended for City Council approval by the Traffic Commission and are being
brought before City Council for final approval.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that City Council approve the 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.
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.
BACKGROUND
Below is a summary of each item, the detailed traffic study completed is attached to this staff
report accordingly:
1. Garvey Avenue Line of Sight Review at the Driveway for the Palm Hotel (8463 Garvey
Avenue
• Attachment A provides the detailed traffic study conducted for this item.
• Staff received a request from a business owner at Palm Hotel to review visibility
concerns in front of the Palm Motel's driveway at 8463 Garvey Avenue. According
to the business owner, parked cars next to the driveway restrict the view of
approaching vehicles for cars trying to exit the location, especially the curb lane.
There is no existing red curb on either side of the motel's driveway. A line of sight
review was conducted by Transtech Engineers, Inc., at the location and determined
that 30' of red curb is recommended to be installed east of the driveway along the
north side of Garvey Avenue in order to improve line of sight for vehicles exiting
the Palm Motel.
• Within the City of Rosemead, Garvey Avenue runs east/west and is considered a
major arterial per the City's General Plan with a posted speed limit of 35 MPH.
Garvey Avenue is approximately 76 -feet wide with two lanes in each direction
separated by a median at the studied location. Land Use along Garvey Avenue is a
mix of use of residential and commercial with 2 -hour parking restrictions from 7:00
a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and no parking on Tuesdays through Fridays from 2:00 a.m. to
6:00 a.m. due to street sweeping. The curb on either side of the Palm Motel
driveway is not painted red; therefore, vehicles continue to park right up to the
driveway apron.
• Staff reviewed the conditions in this vicinity in order to address the concerns
expressed. A line of sight review was conducted by Transtech Engineers, Inc. at the
location and determined that red curb is recommended to be installed east of the
driveway along the north side of Garvey Avenue in order to improve line of sight
for vehicles exiting the Palm Motel. Per AASHTO's guidelines, for a roadway with
a posted speed of 35 mph the required sight distance is 250 feet.
• Per Rosemead's Curb Marking Policy & Procedures, driveway red tipping is a
special type of red zone that is installed at driveways. Short sections of red curbing,
typically requested by property owners, can be installed on either side of a driveway
to promote better maneuverability into and out of the driveway and to improve
visibility from the driveway. The amount of red tipping will be installed in a way

that minimizes the loss of existing on -street parking spaces. Typically, this amounts
to 2 feet to 5 feet of red curb. However, there are situations where the length of red
curb installed at a location should be adjusted based on safety factors such as the
speed of approaching traffic, adjacent parking and operations at adjacent
driveways.
After a thorough review of existing field conditions and the above items, it is
recommended to install 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 at 35 mph. This will remove
approximately 1 parking space in front of the Palm Motel and will still allow for 5
vehicles to park along of the curb in front of the adjacent businesses.
2. Parking Conditions Review on Marshall Street between Bartlett Avenue and Muscatel
Avenue:
• Attachment B provides the detailed traffic study conducted for this item.
• Staff received a request to review parking along Marshall Street between Bartlett
Avenue and Muscatel Avenue. One of the concerns is that on the north side of
Marshall Street between Muscatel Avenue and Dubonnet Avenue there is less than
the required 18 feet of lane width to allow parking. In some instances, the lane is
only 14' to 15' with no visible parking restriction signs. Parked vehicles create line
of sight issues for residents exiting their driveway and disrupt the ability to see
oncoming traffic. During drop off and pick up times for the school, parents are also
parking along Marshall Street where there is insufficient lane width for parking and
travel which essentially blocks visibility to approaching vehicles and potential
pedestrians crossing the street. A traffic review was conducted by Transtech
Engineers, Inc. at the location and determined that red curb be installed along the
north side of Marshall Street between Bartlett Avenue and Muscatel Avenue where
there is insufficient roadway width of 18 feet or more to allow for parking and a 10
foot travel lane. This will improve safety conditions for parked vehicles as well as
improve visibility for pedestrians who may be crossing the street.
• Within the City of Rosemead, Marshall Street runs east/west and is considered a
collector road per the City's General Plan with a posted speed limit of 30 mph. This
section is in a school zone with a posted school speed limit of 25 MPH. There is
also posted 20 MPH for westbound traffic approaching the Rubio Wash. Marshall
Street is approximately 38 -feet wide with one lane in each direction separated by a
double yellow center line. Land use along Marshall Street is Low Density
Residential with parking permitted at all times except during street sweeping
restrictions, where there are red curb and near the wash.
• Muscatel Avenue runs north/south and is considered a collector road per the City's
General Plan with a posted speed limit of 30 MPH. Muscatel Avenue is
approximately 38 -feet wide with one lane in each direction with a double yellow
center line. Land use on Muscatel Avenue is Low Density Residential with parking

permitted at all times except during street sweeping restrictions and where there are
red curbs. Bartlett Avenue runs north/south and is considered a local road per the
City's General Plan with a prima facie speed limit of 25 MPH. Bartlett Avenue is
approximately 30 -feet wide with one lane in each direction with no center line.
Land use on Bartlett Avenue is Low Density Residential and public facilities.
Bartlett Avenue has parking permitted at all times except during street sweeping
restrictions and where there is red curb. There is reserved parking for school staff
south of the intersection with Marshall Street.
• Staff reviewed the conditions in this vicinity in order to address the concerns
expressed. A traffic review was conducted by Transtech Engineers, Inc. at the
location and determined that red curb be installed along the north side of Marshall
Street between Bartlett Avenue and Muscatel Avenue where there is insufficient
roadway width of 18 -feet or more to allow for parking and a 10 -foot travel lane.
This will improve safety conditions for parked vehicles as well as improve visibility
for pedestrians who may be crossing the street. Per NACTO Urban Design Guide,
"Lane widths of 10 -feet are appropriate in urban areas and have a positive impact
on a street's safety without impacting traffic operations and parking lane widths of
7 -9 -feet are generally recommended." Therefore, the north lane along Marshall
Street needs to provide for at least 18 -feet to allow parking as well as a sufficient
travel lane.
• After a thorough review of existing field conditions and the above items, it is
recommended to install red curb from Bartlett Avenue to Muscatel Avenue for
westbound traffic which will remove approximately 9 parking spaces, however it
will reinforce the existing no parking signage due to insufficient street width to
allow for parking and a travel lane. The segment from the wash to Muscatel Avenue
is already posted with No Parking. The red curb will serve to make it more visible
for no parking. 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.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City of Rosemead Public Works Department maintenance team under Street
Maintenance/Field Services Division can complete the approved recommendations under their
current budget. If necessary, additional materials and supplies may be purchased at a minimal
expense under the approved Fiscal Year 2020-2021 Traffic Signs & Markers (5660) or Curb &
Sidewalks Repair & Maintenance (5360) funds authorized by the Public Works Director.
STRATEGIC PLAN IMPACT
This item is consistent with the City of Rosemead's Strategic Plan of enhancing the City's public
infrastructure and public right of way and continuing to make Rosemead a safer and more secure
community.

INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND
The City of Rosemead received a request from a business owner to review visibility concerns in front of
the Palm Motel's driveway, 8463 Garvey Avenue. Accordingto the business owner, there is restricted view
of approaching vehicles due to parked cars next to the driveway when trying to exit the location. There is
no existing red curb on either side of the parking lot exit.

LINE OF SIGHT FOR THE PALM MOTEL - 8463 GARVEY AVENUE
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Garvey Avenue - Within the City of Rosemead, Garvey Avenue runs east/west and is considered a major
arterial per the City's General Plan with a posted speed limit of 35 MPH. Garvey Avenue is approximately
76 -feet wide with two lanes in each direction separated by a median at the studied location. Land Use
along Garvey Avenue is a mix use of residential and commercial use with 2 -hour parking restrictions from
7AM to 6PM and no parking on Tuesdays -Fridays from 2AM to 6AM due to street sweeping. The curb next
to the Palm Motel exit driveway is not painted red; therefore, vehicles are allowed to park right up to the
driveway.
LINE OF SIGHT AT INTERSECTIONS
The driver of a vehicle approaching or departing from an
intersection or driveway should have an unobstructed
view of approaching traffic, they should also be able to
clearly see any traffic control devices, and approaching
pedestrians with sufficient length along the highway to
permit the driver to anticipate and avoid potential
collisions (Maze and Plazak 2000). These unobstructed
views form triangular areas known as sight triangles. Any

object within the sight triangle that would obstruct a driver's view of an approaching vehicle should be
removed or modified or appropriate traffic control devices should be installed as per the Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Obstructions within sight triangles could be buildings, vehicles, hedges,
trees, bushes, tall crops, walls, fences or parked cars. A parked vehicle extends approximately 7 -feet from
the curb, so it's necessary to take Into account the width of a vehicle when determining the amount of
red curb needed to obtain a clear sight triangle. Per AASHTO's guidelines, for a roadway with a posted
speed of 35 mph the sight distance is 250 feet. Figure 3 below shows the calculated amount of clear sight
that is needed for vehicles exiting from the Palm Motels driveway onto Garvey Avenue,

Installed on either side of a driveway to promote better maneuverability Into and out of the driveway and
to improve visibility from the driveway. The amount of red tipping will be installed in a way that minimizes
the loss of existing on -street parking spaces. Typically, this amounts to 2'-5' of red curb. However, there
are situations where the length of red curb installed at a location should be adjusted based on safety
factors such as the speed of approaching traffic, adjacent parking and operations at adjacent driveways.
Parking restrictions for red curb at driveways is enforceable, just as any other no -parking zone in the City
(i.e. any vehicle can be cited for parking in a driveway red zone). Red curb is also enforceable per the
California Vehicle Code 21458,
RECOMMENDATIONS
After a thorough review of existing field conditions, it was determined that red curb should be Installed
east of the driveway along the north side of Garvey Avenue In order to improve line of sight for vehicles
exiting the Palm Motel. Please refer to Figure 4 for a visual demonstration of the proposed conditions.
1. Based on AASHTO's guidelines for Stopping Sight Distance approximately 30' (feet) of red curb
east of the driveway along the north side of Garvey Avenue Is needed. This will allow vehicles
exiting the Palm Motel driveway to see cars approaching WB on Garvey Avenue at 35 mph. This
will remove approximately 1 parking space in front of the Palm Motel and still allow for 5 vehicles
to park along of the curb in front of the adjacent business.

RECOMMENDATIONS
After a thorough review of existing field conditions, it was determined that red curb be installed along the
north side of Marshall Street as well as parking restriction signs along the areas In the roadway where
there is Insufficient roadway width of 18 feet or more to allow for parking and a 10 foot travel lane. This
will improve safety conditions for parked vehicles as well as improve visibility for pedestrians who may be
crossing the street. Per NACTO Urban Design Guide, "Lane widths of 10 feet are appropriate in urban
areas and have a positive impact on a street's safety without impacting traffic operation and parking lane
widths of 7-9 feet are generally recommended." Therefore, the north lane along Marshall Street needs
to provide for at least 18 feet to allow parking as well as a sufficient travel lane. Please refer to Figure 3
and Figure 4 for a visual demonstration of the proposed conditions. If residents on the north side of the
street are opposed to the parking restrictions, the City may want to consider Option 2 which would shift
the entire center line to the south by 2' to 4' to provide for each direction to carry the minimum lane
widths of 18'. This option would allow parking and travel on both sides of the street with 8' parking lane
and 10 'travel lanes.
Option 1:
1. install additional "No Stopping or Parking Anytime" signs west of Rubio Wash for westbound
traffic. This will remove approximately 9 parking spaces for residents in the area.
2. Replace the faded street sweeping parking restriction sign (R30A) at the southeast corner of the
Intersection of Marshall Street and Dubonnet Avenue,
Option 2:
1. To retain the parking on the north side of Marshall Street as well as the south side, the yellow
center lane from Bartlett Avenue to the wash could be shifted to the south so that the north as
well as the south side of Marshall Street provides for a minimum of 18' lanes (8' parking and 10'
travel lane) in each direction. This would require the yellow center lane to be removed and
repainted. The section of the Wash to Muscatel Avenue would remain as existing (with no parking

on the north side since there Is not sufficient room to shift the center line to the south and still
allow parking on both sides of the street. A new striping plan would need to be drawn up and
submitted to the City to make sure the transition of the center line and curves in the road are
taken into consideration on Marshall Street from Bartlett Avenue to Muscatel Avenue.

Commission discuss the item and recommend to the City Council the installation of red curbing on the north side of
Marshall Street, from Muscatel Avenue west to Bartlett Avenue.
Commissioner Ly commented that his concern is that when school starts parents will not obey the red curbs and will
continue parking in the areas not allowed when dropping off or picking up their kids. Mr. Ly asked if staff can talk with
school officials and ask if they can help direct traffic during school time, because the red curbs may not be effective
