SCHEDULED MATTERS
Item 6. Request for On- Street Handicap parking space at 11822
Harris Avenue, Applicant Ms Irene Heiden.
Chairperson Bright stated that since the applicant had a handicap
space before, and needed it because she moved, there was no
reason not to approve it since she had met all the requirements.
There being no further discussion, Commissioner Pacheco made the
motion to approve the item for On- Street handicap parking space.
Commissioner White seconded the motion, and the item passed
unanimously.
Item 7. Traffic signal warrant analysis for the intersection of
Long Beach Boulevard and Magnolia Avenue.
The commissioners were shown slides of the area and of the
intersection of Long Beach Boulevard and Magnolia Avenue, so that
Commissioners could view the location.
Commissioner Cunningham stated that a cross walk on Magnolia
would not help the situation, and only gives pedestrians a false
sense of security. He went on to say that there is a
signalization intersection one block north and another one block
south, and stated that a traffic signal was not necessary at
that location at this time.
Commissioner Bright, stated that after reviewing the study, the
intersection did not warrant a traffic signal. She also noted
that there are signalized intersections located one block north
and one block south of this intersection, therefore, she agreed
that the traffic signal was not warranted at this time.
.Commissioner White, noted that no one represented the church to
to show justification for their motion, and stated that the cost
of the installation of a new signal is not an issue, safety is.
However, he stated that based on the study, the intersection is
operating safely and agreed that a signal was not necessary at
this time.
Commissioner Sanchez, agreed that a traffic signal was not
warranted for the same reason, that there are signalized
intersections located one block north and south of this
intersection.

Staff conducted a field check and found that there is no off -
street parking at 5161 Los Flores Avenue.
Staff has interviewed the applicants daughter, Ms Patricia
William and she explained that her mothers health has been slowly
deteriorating, requiring frequent hospital visits for treatment.
Ms Williams says that her mother cannot walk very far without
having to stop to rest. She does not have a driveway and is
requesting an on- street handicap request for this reason.
Ms Williams says that sometimes, every parking space near their
home is being utilized by the surrounding neighbors, and her
mother must travel up to 100ft to get to her home. Sometimes
they must double park in order to pick up /drop off her mother,
which poses a hazard. Therefore, they are requesting an on- street
handicap parking space.

Staff recommends that the Traffic and Parking Commission review this
application and make a recommendation with regards to the request
for an on- street handicap parking space in front of 5161 Los
Flores Avenue.

DISABLED pERSO *ON- STREET PARKING IN RESIDEOAL ;REAS
INSTRUCTIONS
The City of Lynwood does not provide on- street parking for private
tiindividuals. It must be emphasized that even "disabled parking
zones" do not constitute "Personal reserved parking," and, that
any person with valid "disabled persons" license plates (DP or
VT plates) may park in such stalls. Persons parking in such stalls
without 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 but later are seldom used. Unjustified
installation of such parking stalls unnecessarily increases the
City's maintenance and operations costs, reduces available on- street
parking for the general public and detracts from the overall
effectiveness of the disabled persons parking program.
However, exceptions may be made, in special hardship cases, provided
all of the following conditions exist:
(1) applicant (or guardian) must be in possession of valid license
plates for "disabled persons" or "disabled veterans" issued by the
California Department of Motor Vehicles on the vehicle.
(2) The proposed disabled parking space must be in front of the
disabled persons place of residence.
(3) Subject residence must not have off- street parking available
or off - street space that maybe converted into disabled parking.
(4) Applicant must provide a signed statement from a medical doctor
that the disabled person is unable (even with the aid of crutches,
braces, walker, wheelchair or similar support) to travel more than
50 feet between his or her home and automobile without the
assistance of a second person.
(5) Applicant must pay an initial fee of $15.00 to cover the cost
of field investigation, installation, maintenance and future removal.
(6) Applicant must pay an annual fee of $10.00, after the first
year, to cover the cost of yearly investigation to confirm the pre-
sent need for the handicapped parking zones.
Note: Please do not send check until after this application has
been reviewed by the Traffic and Parking Commission and approved
by the City.

SUBJECT: REVIEW OF IMPERIAL HWY AND MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. BLVD.
INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT PROJECT.
PURPOSE:
To recommend that the Traffic and Parking Commission review the
project and approve staff's recommendation to proceed with the
improvements.
BACKGROUND:
The turning radius for traffic traveling westbound on Imperial
Hwy, making a right hand turn (north bound) onto Martin Luther
King Jr. Blvd. is to short, making it difficult for large
vehicles make the turn with out disrupting south bound
traffic on Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.
In order to alleviate the situation, the City Council has
approved funding to address the problem. This project is listed
in the CIP projects list for FY 94 -95. To address the problem,
it will be necessary to relocate two (2) traffic signal poles,
the installation of a pedestrian push button, the construction of
a new curb return, the installation of handicap wheelchair ramp,
the restripping of the crosswalk and third lane on Imperial Hwy
at the intersection.
ANALYSIS
The design of the project has now been completed (see attached
construction blueprint). It is estimated that the work will cost
$ 26,000. and take 10 working days to construct, and it is
anticipated that there will be some disruption to traffic during
construction.
It will also be necessary to purchase 40 square feet of
right -of -way in order to accommodate the new curb return.
Because the project is composed of several job trades, the work
can be completed more efficiently and at a cost saving if done
through informal bids. Therefore,,staff will take this item to
City Council to acquire approval to purchase the needed
right -of -way, purchase the needed materials for the project, and
to purchase services through an informal bid procedure.
