a complaint from a resident on California Avenue. The resident
complained, at the Cit,y Council meeting, that California Avenue between
Imperial Highway and Platt Avenue has traffic congestion problems
and asked the Council, at that time, to consider restricting parking
on the street. Staff completed a stuc�y and reco�mnended parking
restriction on the east side of California Avenue to relieve the
traf£ic congestion problem. Parking will be restricted on the east
side of the street from 7:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and,3:30 p.m. to

DATE: MAY 25, 1989
TO: THE HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE
TRAFFIC AND PARKING COMMISSION
FROM: JOSEPH Y. WANG, P.E., DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/
CITY ENGINEER
SUBJECT: REVIEW OF TRAFFIC CONGESTION PROBLEM ON CALIFORNIA AVENUE,
BETWEEN IMPERIAL HIGHWAY AND PLATT AVENUE
PURPOSE:
To recommend that the Traffic and Parking Commission review
staff's report on the congestion problem on California Avenue,
from Imperial Aighway to Platt Avenue.
BACKGROUND:
On April 4, 1989, as a result of a citizen's complaint, the City
Council directed staff to investigate the congestion problem on
California Avenue, between Imperial Highway and Platt Avenue. A
traffic study was completed, however, due to the time restriction,
a resident survey was not completed. However, field observations
revealed the following facts:
1. The congestion problem mostly occurs during the morning and
evening peak hours.
2. On the east side of California Avenue, between Platt Avenue and
Imperial Highway, 41 on-street parking spaces are available, and �
on the west side of the street, 48 spaces are available.
3. The roadway, curb to curb width varies between 31 to 34 feet.
Per the City of Lynwood Municipal Code (Section 19-112) when
the roadwa,y width does not exceed 40 feet; the "No Parking"
signs could be installed on one side of the street. �
Based on the above information and considering that by restricting
parking on the east side of the street, the least number on-street
parking would be eliminated. Staff recommended the restriction of
parking on the east side of California Avenue, between Platt Avenue
and Imperial Highway during peak hours. On April 18, 1989, the i
City Council adopted the resolution to install a"No Parking, I
Tow-Away Zone" parking restriction between the hours of 6:30 a.m. �
to 9:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. (Attachment 'B'). This �
item was presented to the Commission on its meeting of April 27, 1989.

ANALYSIS
After the City Counci.l's decision regarding this matter on
April 18, 1989, staff was contacted by Mr. Nathaniel Davis of
11314 "A", California Avenue, stating that the residents on
California Avenue between Platt Avenue and Imperial Highwa,y are
requesting "No Parking at Any Time" instead of no parking just
during the peak hours.
Based on this request, staff prepared and circulated a survey form
(see Attachment "A") inquiring residents/owners on both sides of
California Avenue to express their opinion regarding the issue o£
"No Parking Any Time, Tow-Away Zone" on the east side of California,
• between Platt Avenue and Imperial Highway. It must be noted, staff's
decision on selecting the east side of street for restriction was
simply based on the Engineering fact that restriction of parking on
the east side would eliminate (41) on-street parking spaces as
opposed to the forty-eight (48) spaces on the west side.
A total of seventy-three (73) survey forms were distributed among
all of the residents on both sides of California Avenue. Forty-three
(43) residents responded to the survey with the following results:
� � �
� � �
; In favor of ; Opposed to ;
; No Parking Any Time ; No Parking Any Time ;
; East Side of the Street ; East Side of The Street ;

; Total 28 ; Total 15 ;
� � �
� � �
Staff has been contacted again by Mr. Davis, expressing that the
residents are now requesting, "No Parking At Any Time, Tow-Away 2one," I
preferably on both sides of the street and if not on both sides, on
the west side of the street but not on the east side alone. I
RECOMMENDATION:
I
Staff recommends that the Traffic and Parking Commission review staff's �
report regarding the congestion problem on California Avenue, and �
recommend parking restrictio❑ on California Avenue between Platt Avenue �
and Imperial Highway, to the City Council. �

TRAFFIC AND PARKING COMMZSSION
FROM: JOSEPH Y. WANG, P.E., DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/
CITY ENGINEER
SUBJECT: ON-STREET HANDICAP PARKING REQUEST - 3152 PLUMA STREET
(AGAPE IN HOME CARE)
PURPOSE:
To recommend that the Traffic and Parking Commission consider
granting an On-Street Handicap Parking space in front of
3152 Pluma Street.
B9CKGROUND:
A request for a handicap street parking space has been received �I
from Mr. Don Freeman, the Director of a caring home facility
at 3152 Pluma Street. ,.The request is £or picking up the
adult/elderly patients daily in front of the facility.
ANALYSIS:
Per City Council Resolution 79-89 (Attachment "A") which outlines the �
£ollowing warrants for assigning on street handicap parking; in order �
to assign an on-street handicap parking space all of the following I
warrants must be met:
1. Applicant or guardian must be in possession of a valid
license plate for "Disabled Person" or "Disabled Veteran"
issued by the California Department of Motor Vehicle on the
vehicle.
i
2. The proposed disabled parking space must be in front of the
disabled person's place of residence.
3. Subject residence must not have off-street parking I
available or off-street space that may be converted into
disabled parking. I
4. Applicant must provide a signed statement from a medical
doctor.
5. Applicant must pay an initial fee of $15.00. �
�
6. Applicant must pay an annual fee of $10.00. �
Based on the request received £rom Mr. Freeman, staff has I
completed a field survey, the results are reflected on the
attached exhibits (Attachments "B" and "C"), i
I
�
_ � � �
All of the above mentioned warrants are met, except for one. The
subject residence does have a driveway and a garage. Therefore, by
adhering strictly to the ordinance, the on-street handicap space
cannot be granted. However, the facility provides services to
handicap adult patients and the existing driveway is only 10 feet wide
which makes loading and unloading of handicap patients very difficult.
Therefore, under these special circumstances, staff recommends that
the Traffic and Parking Commission consider granting an on-street
handicap parking space in front of 3152 Pluma Street.
RECOMMENDATION:
To recommend that the Traffic and Parking Commission consider
granting an On-Street Handicap Parking space in front of
3152 Pluma Street.

� 1 � �DISABLED PERSONS ON-STREET PARKING IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS �
� -� � INSTRUCTIONS �
' I
The City of Lynwood does not provide on-street parking for private
individuals. It must be emphasized that even "disabled parking
` zones" do not constitute "Personal reserved parking," and, that
a� person with valid "disabled persons^ license plates (DP or
VT plates) may,park in such stalls. Persons parking in such stalls
witho�t valid DP or VT plates may be cited and towed away as
resolved by City Council Resolution No, 77-89. �
Normally, in establishing on-street parking facilities for the �
.. disabled�there shall be a reasonable determination made that the ��
facility will serve more than one disabled person and that the �
� need is of an on-going nature. The intent is to prevent the pro-
� liferation of special parking stalls that may be installed for a �
� �short-term purpose"Gut later.are seldom used. Unjustified
installatian of such parking sta2ls vnnecessarily increases the �

TRAFFIC AND PARKING COI�7MISSION
FFZOM: JOSEPH Y. WANG, P.E. , DIRECl'OR OF P[JBLIC WORKS/
CITY INGINEEE7
S[JB,7ECf: REQUEST FOR AN ADULT CROSSING GUARD -
LINDBERGH SCHOOL - CIDAR AVIIJUE
PURPOSE:
To recommend that the Traffic and Parking Coimnission support staff's
recommendation not to assign an adult crossing guard in front o£ Lindberg
School on C,edar Avenue, also to remove an undesignated crosswalk in front of I
the sch000l on Cedar Avenue.
I
BACKGftOLJND : I
Department of Public Works has been contacted by Ms. Gloria Alvarez of the
L,ynwood Unified School District requesting the assignment of an adult crossing
guard in front of the school at Cedar Avenue between Nevada Avenue and
L,ongvale Avenue.
Per the School District's request, staff has completed a traffic stucly based
on the City Council's Resolution No. 79-106, (Attachment "A"). Crossing Guard
Policy for the City of Lynwood.
DISC[JSSION
1. Description:
I
Cedar Avenue is a local street with an east/west alignment. i
2. Cedar Avenue Width: I
Property line to Property line. 51 feet I
(,1arb to curb: 42 feet I
�
I
�
.. � �
3. �7tisting parking restrictions:
a. Cedar Avenue (south side):
Street 'sweeping: Lindbergh Avenue to Long Beach Boulevard
6:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m., 'I�esday
b. Cedar Avenue (north side):
Street sweeping: Alpine Avenue to Lindbergh Avenue
5:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. ,'I4�esda,y
Others:
Red curb - Longvale Avenue to Lindbergh Avenue
' 4. Accidents;
No accidents during 1987 and 1988 related to pedestrians.
5. �isting crosswalk:
'Itao cross-walks are located on Cedar Avenue between Nevada Avenue
and Longvale Avenue. The most easterl,y crosswalk is desi�ated on
the suggested safest school route as a school crossing, however, the
westerly crosswalk is not.
5. Controlled Intersection:
The intersection of Cedzr Avenue at Lindbergh is controlled by a
` four-way stop.. This intersection is located 450 feet awa,y from the
designated crosswalks.
6. The school crossing sign fW66) and school speed limit, 25 mph (W65 and R2)
signs are in place on the West and East sides of the street.
The City Council Resolution 79-106, describes conditions;and the �
warrants for assigning adult crossing guards.
Adult crossing guards normally are assigned where official supervision
of elementary school children is desirable while they cross a public
� street or highway, and where the following warrants are met:
a. At least 20 elementary school age pedestrians, per hour, for �
each of two hours, utilize the crossing on the way to or from
school,(based on approaching speed, 40 mph).
. �. � •
b. In case of the uncontrolled crossings on the suggested safest
route to school under urban conditions, the vehicular traffic
� volwne should be in excess of 350 vehicles per hour for each of
any two hours which 20 or more school children noru�ally cross
while traveling to or from school. Staff has completed a traffic
volume count and a pedestrian count, with the following results:
1. Pedestrian Count -(Elementary School Children)
Highest Count:
1:00 p,m. - 2:00 p.m.: 55 children
2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.: 142 children
2. Vehicular Traffic Volume Count:
Voliune :
1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.: 163 vehicles
2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.: 305 vehicles
ANALYSIS
Based on the above data (also see Attachment "B" and "C") although the ,
pedestrian count is well above the minimum required nimiber (20 for each hour
of a 2 hour period) as specified by the warrants, however, since the vehicular
` voliune does not meet the warrant (350 vehicles per hour for each of bhe two
subject hours) the assignment of an adult crossing guard in front of the
Lindbergh Elementary School is not warranted. '
F�rthermore, since the crosswalk to the west of the designated crosswalk, is
not a desigttated crossing, it should be eliminated. By eliminating the
undesignated crosswalk, the children crossings will be concentrated on the
designated crossing, therefore, mitigating the congestion problem that occurs
during the peak hours.
F�rthermore, it should be noted that, presently, Lindbergh School does not
,have any on-site facilities for the purpose of loading and imloading of
passengers_ Such as on-site parking facility is the best solution for
eliminating problems associated with loading and imloading of school children. i
Also, the intersection of Cedar Avenue at Lindbergh Avenue (west side of �
school) is a controlled by Four-Way Stop sign, which is only 450 feet away
. from the designated crossing, which could be safely utilized by school
' _ children crossing (',edar Avenue.
_ .. � �
Staff has also observed parents parking and sometimes double parking on the
north side of Cedar Avenue, between Longvale Avenue and Nevada Avenue, which
' has a red curb restriction loa,d/unload their children at the crosswalks and
between them without supervision. Therefore, enforcement of parking
restrictions by the Sheriff's Department will be helpful in mitigating the
congestion problem at the peak hours.
RECOf�hIENDATION •
Staff recommends that the Traffic and Parking Cormnission support staff's
recommendation not to assign an adult crossing gtiard in front of Lindbergh
Elementasy School, and remove the uncontrolled, undesignated crossing in front
of the Lindbergh School.
