Cunningham made a motion to accept the minutes as corrected and was seconded by Commissioner Bright. The minutes were approved as corrected unanimously. PUBLIC ORAL COMMUNICATION There were no Public Orals SCHEDULED MATTERS Item 6. ONE WAY STREET /OVERNIGHT PARKING SURVEY RESULTS AND PROGRESS REPORT The Commission was given an overview of the results to the survey that included, flow charts, overheads, list of streets proposed for one way streets /overnight parking and advantages and disadvantages. 0 Commissioner Cunningham gave the other Commissioners some background information as to why the Commission was reviewing the possibility of introducing one way streets /overnight parking restrictions in the City of Lynwood. Commissioner Cunningham said he would like staff to proceed with changing Burton Avenue and Cedar Avenue into a one way streets. Commissioner Pacheco asked how many streets were being proposed for one way streets and was informed that there were only eight (8) streets being proposed. Pacheco was concerned about the streets adjacent to the proposed one way streets and was informed that the residents of the affected streets would be polled to get their input before anything was done. Commissioner Bright added that the Commission was not going to choose what streets to do first but rather that'a more intense survey would be done to determine which street could be converted to one way streets. Commissioner White questioned how, if a street like Tenaya only received six (6) votes for and four (4) against converting to a one way street, why was it put on the list? Commissioner Cunningham explained that the list was made up from those that replied and that a second, thorough survey of all the residents on the affected streets would be done before any action would be taken. Commissioner White suggested that everyone be told the advantages and disadvantages of one way streets to make sure that the residents understand- how changing the streets into one way streets will or will not benefit them. Commissioner Cunningham commented that congestion on some streets is occurring primarily during the evening, and suggested the possibility of making some streets one way only during peak evening times (4 -6 pm). Regarding overnight parking, the commission agreed that problems do exist in some parts of Lynwood due to the fact that some families have more that two cars and due to some single family residences having more than one family living there. Commissioner Cunningham answered Commissioner Brights question, and stated that a more intense survey of the proposed streets would be done similar to the one that would be done for the one way street survey before any overnight parking restrictions would be implemented. There being no further discussion on the item, the Commission moved to Item. No 7. Item 7. REVIEWING AND SETTING OF FINES FOR THE REVISED OVERWEIGHT /OVERSIZE VEHICLE ORDINANCE ADOPTED ON JULY 5, 1994. The Commission was given a copy of the newly adopted Overweight /Oversize vehicle ordinance. Commissioner White asked whether or not recreation vehicles were excluded from the provision and it was noted that the City Council reviewed the Commission's recommendation and made a change to include all vehicles (including recreational vehicles) over six feet in height. Commissioner Pacheco asked if any other agency has a similar charge for overweight /oversize ordinance and was informed that the County has a similar ordinance and the current fine for a violation is $40.00. Margaret Bright was told she was correct in saying that the fine being requested was being increased from $25.00 to $40.00. It was suggested that Lynwood charge more than $40.00, perhaps $45.00 or $50.00. Chairman Pacheco moved to recommend a fine of $45.00 and was seconded by Commissioner Bright. It was moved, seconded and approved unanimously to recommend a fine of $45.00. REVIEW OF UP COMING ITEMS AND INFORMATIONAL ITEMS The Commission was told of upcoming items: 1. Review Traffic Safety Evaluation, Enforcement and Engineering analysis by Institute of Transportation Studies. 2. Review and ranking of signalized intersections by number of accidents. 3. Proposed Alley vacations. 4. Review of pedestrian /traffic safety on Long Beach from MLK to Tweedy Blvd. 5. Review of Traffic safety on Long Beach Blvd and Los Flores. 6. Review protected left turn phasing at traffic signals citywide. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS The Commission was given a brief report on the status of the Public Works Department Capital Improvement Projects. The Department of Public Works monthly report for June, 1994 was attached for the Commission's review. COMMISSIONER ORALS Commissioner White - He said he would like staff to look into the possibility of putting up signs on Wright Road as you approach Pelleur (Abbott School). He said that there is a crosswalk for school children but there are no stop or school crossing signs. He said the same situation exist on Beechwood at Pine (Washington School). Commissioner White also had a questions as to how the new Overweight /Oversize Ordinance was going to be enforced (weekends, nights)? He added that if a new ordinance is not going to be enforced, what good is it. Reminded and invited the Commission to attend the Carlin Avenue Block Watch street 'party on Saturday, June 25, 1994. Commissioner Cunningham asked that staff look at the intersection of Fernwood and Wright road and report back to the Commission due to the opening of the freeway underpass. Would like to see some kind of signage indicating that there is a "T" intersection coming up or some sort of warning /cautious signs. He also said that there is a nurses training center across from Alpha Beta. He said that around 9 -10 a.m. every morning, the student nurses meet at the parking lot and they cross the street and block traffic by crossing single file, about 9 or 10 at a time and block traffic (they jaywalk). He said they do it every morning and perhaps Sgt. Silva can be contacted to meet with the group and talk to them to see if something can be worked out. Commissioner Bright asked if anything could be done about the small block wall that runs behind McMillian. She noted that a sound wall needs to be put in because the wall that is there now is not shielding any noise coming from the fwy. Asked if Caltrans could be notified to see what measure, if any, could be taken to alleviate the problem. There being no further business, Chairman Pacheco made a motion to adjourn the meeting, Commissioner White seconded the motion and the meeting was adjourned for July 25, 1994 at 7:20 p.m. t94 -07m • 0 0 AGENDA ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION AT THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE LYNWOOD TRAFFIC AND PARKING COMMISSION TO BE HELD ON AUGUST 25, 1994 AT 6:00 P.M.
