Approval of Minutes for August 3, 2023, Traffic Commission Meeting CEQA: Not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act. 3. NEW BUSINESS A. Traffic Review of Hellman Avenue between Rockhold Avenue and Walnut Grove Avenue SUMMARY The City of Rosemead has received a resident request to evaluate installation of "no stopping" signs or red curb along Hellman Avenue between Rockhold Avenue and Walnut Grove Avenue. The resident expressed concern about vehicles parking along Hellman Avenue between the 1-10 Freeway ramp and Rockhold Avenue, making it difficult for vehicles to pass traveling westbound on Hellman Avenue. In response to this request and on behalf of the City, engineering staff completed a traffic review and recommended appropriate measures. After a thorough review of existing field and traffic conditions and per the guidelines in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CAMUTCD), California Vehicle Code (CVC), and based on engineering judgement, it was determined that the segment of Hellman Avenue between Rockhold Avenue and Walnut Grove Avenue would benefit from the installation of "No Stopping Anytime" Signage along Hellman Avenue between Rockhold Avenue and Walnut Grove Avenue. This segment along Hellman Avenue would also benefit from additional measures to improve the area. CEQA: Not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act. STAFF RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Traffic Commission take the following actions: 1. INSTALL "NO STOPPING ANYTIME" (R26S (CA)) SIGNAGE: Install "No Stopping Anytime" (R26S (CA)) Signage along Hellman Avenue between Rockhold Avenue and Walnut Grove Avenue for W13 traffic: a.
