A .lnit Yr "a'C A GS A DATE: March 24, 1994 TO: THE HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE TRAFFIC AND PARKING COMMISSION FROM: Emilio M. Murga, Director of Public Works Paul Nguyen, Civil Engineering Associate SUBJECT: THREE WAY STOP SIGN REQUEST CARLIN AVENUE AND MILRACE AVENUE PURPOSE: To recommend that the Traffic and Parking Commission review the traffic data pertaining to the intersection of Carlin Avenue and Milrace Avenue and make a recommendation to the City Council. BACKGROUND: In an effort to reduce speeding on Carlin Avenue, area residents have requested through the City Council that the Traffic and Parking Commission investigate the possibility of providing three -way stop control at the intersection of Carlin Avenue and Milrace Avenue. Staff conducted a traffic investigation for three -way stop control, based on Traffic Engineering Practices Manual for Small Municipalities by DeLew, Cather and Company. The warrants in this manual are more liberal than the warrants used in the Caltran's Manual. Accidents (During past 2 years) Traffic Volumes: Carlin Avenue Milrace Avenue Street widths: Carlin Avenue Milrace Avenue Visibility: Carlin Avenue Milrace Avenue Unusual Conditions: Milrace Avenue: Carlin Avenue: one (1) 2/21/92 8:00 am Hit fixed object HNBD (Additional accidents could have occurred that were not reported to the Sheriff's Dept.) - both directions - both directions 4,897 vehicles /day 612 vehicles /day 76 feet 26 feet .... E .. None Curves wide towards the south ITEM 7 0 Type of Intersection: Posted Speed Limit: Critical Speed: Residential "T" intersection controlled by Stop sign on Milrace Avenue 35 mph 40 mph Other factors to be considered: 1. According to residents, additional accidents that were not reported to the Sheriff's Department have occurred in the area. Therefore no accident reports were filed. 2. Carlin Avenue from Bullis Road to Atlantic Avenue has two additional stop - controlled intersections. A. Carlin Avenue at Bradfield Avenue B. Carlin Avenne at Thorson Avenue 3. Additional Sheriff's Department selective enforcement to deter speeding has not had the results expected by the residents. ANALYSIS: The warrants for three -way stop controlled intersections are based on a point system. Points are assigned based on several criteria: accidents, volume of traffic, visibility and unusual conditions. A minimum of 28 points are needed for an Avenue and Milrace Avenue accumulates (2) points. Although it is advisable to follow established warrants guidelines, in certain cases, additional factors should be considered. In this case, two other stop - controlled intersections exist on Carlin Avenue (Carlin Avenue at Bradfield Avenue and Carlin Avenue at Thorson Avenue). According to residents, additional Sheriff's selective enforcement efforts to reduce speeding have not resolved the situation and that unreported automobile accidents have occurred at the subject intersection where the Sheriff's Department has not been notified. In view that the Sheriff's selective enforcement has not deterred speeding and that a hazardous situation persist in the area according to residents, who requested stop signs be installed, the Traffic and Parking Commission could consider the installation of stop signs on a trial basis. Therefore: 1. Install stop signs at the intersection of Carlin Avenue and Milrace Avenue and install a crosswalk across Carlin Avenue. 2. For the Sheriff's Department to conduct additional selective enforcement as it relates to speeding vehicles on this section of Carlin Avenue and report back to the Traffic and Parking Commission on the effect of this effort. • 3. That staff have had on report back (6) months. RECOMMENDATION: L] review the impact that the proposed measures the speeding problem on Carlin Avenue and to the Traffic and Parking Commission in six To recommend that the Traffic and Parking Commission review the traffic data pertaining to the intersection of Carlin Avenue and Milrace Avenue and make a recommendation to the City Council.

BACKGROUND In an effort to reduce congestion at the intersection of Long Beach Boulevard and Imperial Highway, City Council appropriated $20,000 to perform striping modifications at this intersection as part of the Capital Improvement Projects for FY 1993 -94. ANALYSIS Staff has prepared plans to alleviate the traffic congestion situation at the intersection of Long Beach Boulevard and Imperial Highway. The plans call for the restriping of Long Beach Boulevard to provide three (3) northbound lanes from Beechwood Avenue to Los Flores Boulevard, and three (3) southbound lanes from Los Flores Boulevard to the I -105 Freeway. The restriping will require the removal /modification of the median islands flares on Long Beach Boulevard at Imperial Highway. The addition of a third travel lane in each direction will increase the capacity of Long Beach Boulevard by by allowing more vehicles to go through the signalized interestion within the designated green phase. i The restriping will require the existing Two -Hour parking restriction be changed to No Stopping Anytime at various locations about the project limits. The implementation of No Stopping Anytime restriction will impact approximately seven parking spaces on the east side of Long Beach Boulevard from 11138 Long Beach Boulevard (E1 Pollo Loco Restaurant) to Los Flores Boulevard, as well as three parking spaces on the west side of Long Beach Boulevard from Los Flores Boulevard to Oakwood Avenue. ITEM 8 While parking sp s about the subject in section will be impacted, staff si*y has found that the bents realized from the traffic congestion reduction plan outweights the loss of on- street parking for the business establishments in the immediate area, as the affected businesses have on -site parking facilities for their patrons. Staff, therefore, recommends that the Traffic and Parking Commission concur with the staff recommendation to implement the striping and signing modifications for the subject intersection. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Traffic and Parking Commission support staff's recommendation to implement the striping and signing modification as shown on the Long Beach Boulevard/ Imperial Highway Restriping Project plans to relieve traffic congestion in the area. T94 -211 0 9 AGENDA ITEMS FOR FUTURE CONSIDERATION BY THE LYNWOOD TRAFFIC AND PARKING COMMISSION 1. Review and ranking of signalized intersections by number of accidents. 2.
