He said he lives in Compton and wanted to speak because on the traffic signal on Imperial and Long Beach Blvd. He says he gets caught on Los Flores on Long Beach Blvd. and said that the light has a very short cycle and that it takes three cycles to pass Imperial. He has to make the trip two to five times daily. At around six, it takes at least two cycles and you have to stay in the second lane or the wait is longer because of cars backed up for left turns. when he gets off at the I -105 Freeway off ramp at Long Beach Blvd., sometimes, he cannot go through because the north bound traffic is blocking the intersection. Chairman Pacheco explained that the commission was already looking at improving the intersection and that a sign will be placed up reading "Do not block the intersection ". • • Commissioner Cunningham further explained that there is a project underway that will be add through lanes to allow for more traffic to go through the intersection (at Long Beach Blvd. and Imperial Why). He said that one lane south and north bound will be added to relive the back up. The resident and the Commission were informed that the plans have been completed and the work should be completed in a few months. Commissioner Cunningham thanked the resident for coming out to talk to the Commission. Ron asked why the City could not just give more time to the north /south bound traffic and Chairman Pacheo and Commissioner Cunningham said that if we give more seconds to north /south, it takes away from the other traffic and asked resident to wait until the proposed construction is complete to re- evaluate the intersection and traffic. Mr. Ron also asked about southbound Highway, and said that pedestrians back up as well. He was told to go he obtain a copy of plans.

Cunningham, asked if a new sign will be placed at that location. He also noted that people are not stopping at the Stop sign and that cars are going really fast on Wright Road. The Commission was informed that there was an island there but that is was probably removed because of problems with traffic. • • The Commission then reviewed the fourteen (14) steps to improve the intersection as noted in the report such as adding a light on west side on existing pole also, and painting of red curb. Other things could be considered if the traffic in the areas does not improve and the commission will look at the intersection again in six months, and, if not improved, more drastic measures could be looked at to improve the intersection.

Murga, Director of Public Works BY: Christian Valtierra, Public Works Division Supervisor SUBJECT: REVIEW OF SAFEST ROUTE TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS PROGRESS REPORT PURPOSE: To give the Traffic and Parking Commission a progress report on the review of the Safest Routes to Lynwood Elementary Schools and to have the Traffic and Parking Commission approve the proposed schedule. BACKGROUND: The "Safest Routes to School" has been used in Lynwood to assist students and parents of kindergarten and elementary students in selecting the most appropriate route from home to school. The Safest Route to Schools show the street system near the school, as well as traffic control devices such as stop signs, signals, marked crosswalks and the location of crossings at which adult crossing guards are on duty. Our map also shows directional arrows to identify the recommended safest route (see attached map). School routes are planned to take advantage of the protection afforded by existing traffic controls. This planning may make it necessary for children to walk an indirect, longer distance to an established school crossing, located where there is existing traffic control and to avoid the use of a more direct crossing where there are no existing traffic controls. Information developed from field studies along with the cooperation of school officials and parents will help the Traffic and Parking Commission in the reviewing and revising of the Safest Route To Schools map. ANALYSIS: The Lynwood Safest Routes to Schools has not been reviewed by the Traffic and Parking Commission for several years. There are nine elementary school affected by the Safest Routes to Schools. They include Abbott, Lincoln, Lindbergh, Lugo, Item No. 11 0 Will Rogers, Roosevelt, Mark Twain, Washington and Wilson Elementary schools. Factors to be considered by the Traffic and Parking Commission when reviewing the routes will be: 1. Review of current routes. 2. Review of school related accidents near each school. 3. Review of school route patterns. 4. Review of major arterial /collector crossings. 5. Review and deployment of crossing guards. 6. Review of current traffic control devices. 7. Review of uncontrolled intersections. The following is the course of action to be taken to review and make recommendations /changes to the Safest Routes to Schools. Date Action to be taken June 26, 1994 Review of proposed program by Traffic and Parking Commission. July, 1994 Notify School Board, Principals, safety advisory committees (see attached letter). July, 1994 Take pedestrian counts /traffic counts. August, 1994 Meet with Schools, parents, etc. August 25, 1994 Analyze pedestrian /traffic counts, analyze accidents, review traffic patterns, review locations of crossing guards, revise routes. September 8, 1994* Review and approve Safest Routes to schools and distribute to all elementary schools. September 12, 1994 School year begins, teachers /parents review routes with students. It will be necessary to schedule a Traffic and Parking Commission meeting the second week of September, September 8, 1994, in order to finalize the Safest Routes to Schools and distribute them to the elementary schools during the first week of the semester after summer break. RECOMMENDATION To recommend that the Traffic and Parking Commission approve the proposed schedule for the review and revising of the Safest Route to School and approve the sending of the letter to the Lynwood Elementary School Principals.
