double park and block both side of street and that this may cause
a problem if an emergency vehicle is needed in the area.
Commissioner Bright stated that there were approximately 1,500
students attending that school and inquired if this problem was
an ongoing problem. Ms. Fleming stated that this is a constant
problem during school hours.

Deputy Bryant stated that he would have a unit patrol the area at
2:40 to 3:15 PM to cite vehicles that were in violation. He also
stated that Lorry Torres should be notified to have Parking
Enforcement work together with Sheriff's department. '
Commissioner Cunningham asked staff to write a letter to the
school identifying the problem and to work with their staff to
resolve the parking problem.
Commissioner White suggested that if there could be a designated
pick up areas for students. This way parents would not have to
park their cars and wait for their children throughout the
street.
Chairperson Bright thanked Ms. Fleming for coming and stated that
sheriff's Department would patrol two or three time a day and
staff would do a study to try to resolve problem.
SCHEDULED MATTERS
Item 6. Stop sign request at Oak Avenue and Orchard Avenue.
Staff showed slides of the area where the stop sign is being
requested, and stated that there have been no accidents at this
location within the past 12 months.
Commissioner White felt that a stop sign was needed for the
safety of school children during school hours.
Commissioner Bright made a motion to review the requested Stop
sign with the City of Compton and bring back at another time.
Commissioner Cunningham seconded the motion and all voted in
favor to review the request with the City of Compton.
Item 7. St. Francis Medical Center request for Traffic Signal at
Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard at Arval Avenue.
Commissioner Cunningham stated tkiat new signs looked O.K. and he
agreed that a signal is not the answer. But he felt that the
area still looked the same and needs improvement.
Staff explained to Commission, that in the past three years that
has only been one accident and that due to the urgency of request
by Commission, Public Works made the changes to location, instead
of Facility Maintenance. Staff showed slides of location and
stated that a signal was not recommended.
Commissioner Sanchez requested information on the accident that
happened in July. Deputy Bryant explained that the motorist was
using his car phone and did not see pedestrian crossing until it
was too late.
Commissioner White stated that motorist should see something to
make them aware of the crosswalk.
2
L
Commissioners White and Bright agreed that a flashing beacon or
signal might help resolve the problem.
Staff stated that their conclusion was that the location has been
marked clearly and due to the fact that there has only been one
accident in past three years, the location should be left as is
and would do another study in six months.
Chairperson Bright made the motion for staff to observe the
location for the next three months and review it with the
commission at that time. Commissioner Sanchez seconded motion.
It was unanimous to review the location in three months.
Item S. Traffic signal installation request at Long Beach
Boulevard and Louise Street.
Staff presented the Commission with slides of intersection and

Stop Sign Request
Oak Avenue and Orchard Avenue
To recommend that the Traffic and Parking Commission review the
traffic engineering investigation and support staff's
recommendation to continue with the present operation of the
intersection of Oak Avenue and Orchard Avenue and to implement
the proposed 4 point traffic safety enhancement program.
BACKGROUND:
A request has been received from the City Managers Office to
investigate the possibility of providing a Stop sign for west
bound traffic on Orchard Avenue at Oak Avenue.
On September 28, 1995, the Traffic and Parking Commission
reviewed this item and requested that Staff review this item with
the City of Compton and bring it back to the commission at its
next meeting.
Staff has reviewed the request and warrants for the Stop Sign
installation along with accident history and exiting field
conditions.
Accidents: No reported accidents during the past 12
months according to the Lynwood
Sheriff',s Department.
Street widths:
Oak Avenue - 25 feet
Orchard Avenue - 25 feet
Visibility:
Oak Avenue - N/B good S/B good
Orchard Avenue - W/B good
Unusual Conditions:
Oak Avenue: None
Orchard Avenue: None

ANALYSIS:

25 mph prima facie.
25 mph prima facie.
The warrants for STOP sign are based on a number of factors. The
following conditions may warrant a STOP sign installation:
1 On the less important road at its intersection with a
main road where application of the normal right of way rule
is unduly hazardous as evidenced by accidents susceptible to-
correction by STOP signs.
This warrant is not met. There are no reported accidents.
2. On a county road or a city street at its intersection with a
state highway.
This warrant is not met. Oak Avenue is not a state highway.
3. At the intersection of two main highways. The highway
traffic to be stopped depends on approach speeds, volumes,
and turning movements.
This warrant is not met. Neither street is a "main
highway."
4.

.On a street entering a legally establish through highway or
street.
Oak Avenue is not a "legally established through highway or
street."
On a minor street where the safe approach speed to the
intersection is less than 10 miles per hour.
This warrant is met as the safe approach speed is 9 mph,
however, this alone does not warrant a STOP sign.
Item No. 6
6. At an unsignaled intersection in a sign• zed area.
This warrant is not met. Both streets are local streets,
and the area is not a signalized area.
7. At other intersections where a combination of high speed,
restricted view, and accident record indicates a need for
control by STOP sign.
This warrant is not met. No unusual conditions.
Although warrant number 5 (five) is met, Chapter 4, section 21800
(b)(1) of the California Vehicle Code states:
"when two vehicles enter an intersection from different highways
at the same time, the driver of the vehicle on the left shall
yield the right of way to the vehicle on his or her immediate
right, except that the driver of any vehicle on a terminating
highway [Orchard Avenue] shall yield the right of way to any
vehicle on the intersecting continuing highway [Oak Avenue] ".
Therefore, based on the above information, staff recommends that
the intersection should continue operating in its present as the
intersection is operating safely as there are no reportable
accidents for this intersection according to the Lynwood
Sheriff's Department.
However, staff recommends that the following 4 point program be
implemented to enhance traffic safety in the area:
1. Clean /replace all faded Street Sweeping /No Parking signs in
general area.
2. Install "T" intersection ahead warning sign (sign W 7) for
west bound traffic on Orchard Avenue.
3. Install double headed arrow paddle sign on Oak Avenue at
Orchard Avenue (sign W 56).
4. For the Sheriff's Department to conduct selective
enforcement against speeding vehicles and report back to
the Traffic and Parking Commission on the effects to this
effort in three months.
Staff has contacted the City of Compton's Engineering Department
regarding this matter. Since the intersection lies entirely
within the City of Lynwood, it is expected that there would not
be many comments from the City of Compton regarding the proposed
study.
When the City of Compton replies to our request for review, staff
will bring back this item to the Commission for its review.
Item No. 6

RECOMMENDATION:
Therefore, it is recommended that the Traffic and Parking
Commission review the traffic engineering investigation and
support staff's recommendation to continue with the present
operation of the intersection of Oak Avenue and Orchard Avenue
and to implement the proposed 4 point traffic safety enhancement
program.

PARKING COMMISSION
FROM: Emilio M. Murga P.E., Director of Public Works/
Ted Semaan, Civil Engineering Assistant ((jJ
SUBJECT: Long Beach Boulevard and Louise Street
PURPOSE
To recommend that the Traffic and Parking Commission review the
proposed installation of a landscaped median island and fence on
Long Beach Boulevard between I -105 Freeway and Josephine Street.
BACKGROUND
At its meeting of September 28, 1995, the Traffic and Parking
Commission reviewed and recommended that a traffic signal be
installed at the intersection of Long Beach Boulevard and Louise
Street, (see attached Traffic and Parking Commission Item).
Since then, the City Council has requested to have the Traffic
and Parking Commission review the traffic safety of the area
again, and investigate the extension of the median islands on
Long Beach Boulevard from I -105 Freeway to Josephine Street,
through this intersection and install a fence in the middle of
the median to prevent pedestrian crossings.
ANALYSIS
Staff has investigated the installation of a fence in the center
of the median by contacting the City of Los Angeles Department of
Transportation, Los Angeles County Department of Public Works,
AAA Traffic Engineer, the City of Paramount and Caltrans.
The agencies contacted agreed that this a good idea in preventing
pedestrian accidents, if there are traffic signals with
controlled pedestrian crosswalks on both ends of the fenced
median.
Currently there are no pedestrian crosswalks between Sanborn
Avenue and Josephine Street, north and south of the I -105 freeway
respectively, a distance of 2,560 feet.
The City has requested from Caltrans to install pedestrian
signals and crosswalks at the existing signalized on /off ramps on
both sides of the I -105 Freeway, see attached letter.
Item No. 7
Therefore, if Caltrans approves and installs the pedestrian
signals and crosswalks as requested by the City, then extending
the median islands through Louise Street and installing a fence
in the middle of the median would be a feasible solution in
enhancing pedestrian safety at this area.
It is recommended that the Traffic and Parking Commission support
the extension of the median islands on Long Beach Boulevard
through Louise Street with the installation a fence in the middle
of the median and make a recommendation to City Council.
In addition, since there is no available funding for this
project, it is recommended that the Traffic and Parking
Commission request that the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency fund
these improvements.

SUBJECT: Traffic Signal Installation Request
Long Beach Blvd and Louise Street
PURPOSE
To recommend that the Traffic and Parking Commission review the
proposed installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of
Long Beach Boulevard and Louise Street.
At its regular meeting on January 15, 1991, the City Council
directed staff to install a traffic signal at the subject
- intersection of Long Beach Boulevard and Louise Street.
On February 11, 1991 the Lynwood Traffic and Parking Commission
reviewed the City Council's request and recommended the
installation of a traffic signal at that location.
On February 19, 1991, the City Council adopted resolution No.
91 -21, ordering the installation of a traffic signal at the
intersection of Long Beach Boulevard and Louise and making the
necessary fund appropriation transfer to fund the traffic signal
installation.
Plans and specifications were prepared, however, subsequently,
the funding for the signal was reappropriated to other projects.
At it's meeting of September 19, 1995, the City Council requested
that traffic and pedestrian safety issues be reviewed for the
intersection of Long Beach Blvd. and Louise Street.
ANALYSIS
At its meeting of February 11, 1991, the Traffic and Parking
Commission reviewed a traffic investigation conducted by the City
Engineer. At that time, two warrants for installing the traffic
signal as set per chapter 9 of the State of California Department
of Transportation, Traffic Manual were met. It was also noted
that three out of the four accidents for the period of
October 1, 1989 - September 30, 1990 were correctable by
installing a traffic signal.

On September 21, 1995 staff conducted a traffic investigation and
ran the warrants for a traffic signal. Two warrants for
installing the signal were met. In addition there were five
accidents out of nine that were correctable by a traffic signal
at that location for the period of March 1994 - March 1995.
Construction of the Glenn Anderson I -105 Freeway interchange with
Long Beach Boulevard resulted in the removal of the traffic
signal and the closing of Lynwood Road. Subsequently the
crossing guard was relocated to the signalized intersection of
Long Beach Boulevard and Josephine Street.

Los Angeles, California 90012
Dear Mr. Steele:
We have received several complaints of unsafe pedestrian
crossings across Long Beach Boulevard at the Glenn Anderson
Freeway (I -105).
Prior to the construction of the I -105 Freeway, the intersections
of Lynwood Road at Long Beach Boulevard and =ernwood Avenue at
Long Beach Boulevard were signalized intersections with marked
crosswalks.
Currently, there is no pedestrian crossing `_or a distance of
2,560 feet. The nearest place to cross Long Beach Blvd. north of
the freeway is 850 ft. at Sanborn Avenue. The nearest place to
cross south of the freeway is 750 ft. at Josephine Street.
Therefore, the City hereby requests the installation of
controlled pedestrian crossing, painted crosswalks and pedestrian
signal heads on Long Beach Blvd. at the existing north and south
signals at the on /off ramps to the Glenn Anderson Freeway.
Should you have any questions, please contact Emilio M. Murga,
Director of Public Works at (310) 603 -0220, ext. 287.
Sincerely,
/- -
