DATE: JULY 28, 1988
TO: THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD
TRAFFIC AND PARKING COMMISSION (�
FROM: JOSEPH Y. WANG, P.E., DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC'WORKS/�� p�a '(�•"
CITY ENGINEER ���� �T ll
_ SUBJECT: REMOVAL OF EXISTING UNCONTROLLED CROSSWALK
ABBOTT ROAD AND SAN GABRIEL AVENUE
PURPOSE
To recommend that the Traffic and Parking Commission support
staff's recommendation to remove the existing uncontrolled
crosswalk at Abbott Road and San Gabriel Avenue. (see attached
sketch).
BACKGROUND
In an effort to evaluate the existing uncontrolled crosswalk
throughont the City, staff has conducted a study at the subject
location. The study reveals the following 'facts:
o Abbott Road - San Gabriel Avenue is a"T" intersection
and is controlled by a stop sign at San Gabriel Avenue.
o The existing crosswalk is not a designated school crossing.
o The total right-of-way width is 100 ft.
o The curb to curb width is 70 ft.
o The speed limit is 35 mph
0 85 percentile speed is 38 mph
o Peak hour pedestrian count is 8
o Average daily traffic on Abbott Road is 4000 directional vpd
' o There are no reported accidents at the location for the
past three years.
ANALYSIS
,
In'general, pedestrian crosswalk markings may be installed where '
they are required to channelized pedestrians into the proper path ,
at intersections when the intended course is not readily apparent
or when their presences would minimize pedestrian suto conflicts.
Non-intersectioned (mid-block) pedestrian crossings are unexpected
by the motorists and should be discouraged unless, in the opinion
of the engineer�, there is strong justification in favor of such
, installation. Extensive studies regarding crosswalks and
pedestrian safety particularly the ones completed by the City of
Long Beach and the City of San Diego, characterize the
non-intersectioned (mid-block) pedestrian crossint�s as �iving
a false sense of security to the pedestrian due to the prominent
� appearance of the crosswalk, resulting in a lack of caution.
T03.390
, •
� �
As to the subject crosswalk, it interfers with the traffic
progression from the intersection of Century Boulevard and Abbott
Road and traffic emerging from the adjacent shopping center drive
,. approach. This interference increases the likelihood of conflicts
betweem vehicular traffic and pedestrian.
1
As recommended by DeLew and Cather in order to qualify for a
marked crosswalk, a location must meet 4 basic warrants and rate
- a minimum of 16 points under the designated point system as
discussed mentioned below:
Basic Criteria
Existing
' Warrant Condition Comment
Pedestrian must be a 16 warranted
volume: minimum of

Visibility: Motorist must have more than warranted
an unrestricted view 200 feet
of all pedestrians visibility

a distance of not
less than 200 feet

points out of a minimum required 16, this crosswalk is not
warranted and should be removed.

Gardens trash
fees to ��se
Hawaiian Gardens residents
will get a 75cent hike in their
trash rates, a move necessary to �
pay for iising fees at county
dumps and.iransfer stations, said
city council members who
appioved the increase Tuesday
night. Cesena Disposal owner
Ralph Cesena said the hike will
mean residents of single-family
homes: will pay, $8.75 for twice-
weekly service,:apartment rates
will go to $8:50, mobile-home
parks to $425,.and commercial
rates will. range from $57 'for
weekly pickups to �172.75 for six
times a week. Cesena said dump
rates have risen to �9.50 a ton,
and added that the firm received i,
no cost-of•living increase in 1987. I
In taking the action, the City
Council ended a �26,500 subsidy �i
that prevented a raise in 1987-88, I
but also voted to consider an . �
ordinance exempting senior citi- '
zens from paying trash fees. I
