SCHEDULED MATTERS
Item No. 6. Information Item - FETSIM Project, Retiming of
Traffic Signals, along the City's Arterials.
Mr. Oskoui explained that a preliminary report of the project is
being submitted with supporting sampler and summary. The final
report will be later presented. He further explained that
Caltrans initiated the subject project approximately ten years
ago. Caltrans provides funding to local cities for the
modifications to the traffic signals in which the objective is to
minimize fuel consumption, reduce air pollution and minimize
traffic delays. The objective is to optimize the movement of
traffic along the boulevards. New counts are needed to qualify
for the program. Mr. Oskoui informed the Commission that Long
Beach Boulevard, Atlantic Avenue and Imperial Highway traffic
signals have been modified. He continued with the history, the
process and explained the expectations of the new changes. The
Commissioners continued discussion.
Item No. 7. Information Item - New Speed Limits - Five Year
Speed Study.
Preliminary results of a study was presented by Mr. Oskoui for
the Commission review and comments. Mr. Oskoui explained that
the City has a contract agreement with the County of Los Angeles,
Public Works Department to complete an Engineering and Traffic
Study. Mr. Oskoui ex_lained, as result of the study, the
existing speed limits will remain the same except for Martin
Luther Ring Jr. Boulevard from Bullis Road /East City Limit. The
speed limit will be reduced from the existing 40 mph to 35 mph.
Commissioner Cunningham raised questions regarding the cost to
perform study.
Mr. Oskoui explained that the cost to perform the study is
approximately $6,000 for the collection of data.
Deputy Gilbert informed the Commission that Sergeant Silva wrote
to Mr. Murga, Director of Public Works, expressing his support of
the City completing the processing of the survey. He expressed
that the City will lose revenue if the speed limits are not
brought current. He further explained that per the California
Vehicle Code, the officers are restricted to enforce speed laws.
Deputy Gilbert expressed that another problem exist. At this
time, there are no officers trained to operate the radar devices
to issue citations. Officers will need to attend radar school.
He further explained that the City Council will have to approve
the officer to attend school. Deputy Gilbert discussed that the
0a
i 0
current owned radars are too old, need calibrating, and do not
meet current specifications, therefore, they need to be replaced.
He explained that it will cost more to refurbish the radars.
Discussion continued.
Deputy Gilbert explained that the presents of radar positively
impacts the motorist to slow down, plus, a greater number of
speeding citations can be issued.
Commissioner Cunningham stated, the fact that there is a need for
new radars, the issue should be presented to the City Council for
their consideration to either purchase new radar devices or look
into renting radars other cities.
INFORMATIONAL ITEMS
Mr. Oskoui reviewed the progress on the current public works
projects, monthly status report and discussed that traffic
related articles were included.
Commissioner Cunningham expressed that in looking at the monthly
report, page 11, potholes in streets appear not to be repaired
in a timely manner; the numbers reported to the numbers
completed.
Mr. Oskoui explained that the report does not present a true
reflection on the turnaround time that potholes are repaired.
Potholes are repaired based on receipt of complaint. The
potholes are repaired must faster than they reflect on the
report.
COMMISSION ORALS
Chairman Archambault stated he received correspondence from the
City Council and asked Commissioner Cunningham to enlighten the
commission on the matter.
Commissioner Cunningham responded that the correspondence related
to the Josephine Street & State Street issue and he further
explained how traffic signs came about for installation. He t
stated that the Commission surveyed, item was revised by staff
for recommendation.
Mr. Oskoui added, the City Council voted for installation of
traffic: control stop signs at the T- intersection of Josephine
Street and State Street.
Commissioner Cunningham requested status of RTD's owned, red curb
complaint in khich c;:rb is located at 11324 Long Beach Boulevard.

TO: The Honorable Chairman and Members of The
City of Lynwood Traffic And Parking Commission
FROM: Emilio M. Murga, Director of Public WorksefO.�
SUBJECT: New Five Year Speed Zone Study
PURPOSE
That the Traffic and Parking Commission review the attached speed
zone study and support the proposed speed limits.
BACKGROUND
California law requires that speed limits, if they are to be
enforced by the use of radar must be reviewed every five (5) years;
and that said speed limits must be set on the basis of a traffic and
engineering survey to be property enforced.
The County of Los Angeles, Department of Public Works, under a
contract with the City, has completed the attached traffic and
engineering survey for establishment of prima facie speed limits on
City streets.
ANALYS
The attached study provides traffic engineering survey for 16
streets covering approximately 26.5 miles of roadways in the City of
Lynwood. Each survey includes measurements of vehicular speed,
recent traffic volume counts, analysis of the latest 2 year accident
records, and consideration of roadway and traffic conditions not
apparent.to drivers.
The results of this study indicates that most of the existing speed
limits in the City are reasonable and consistent with accepted
traffic engineering practices and the requirements of the California
Vehicle Code (CVC). Revisions of the posted speed limits is
recommended only on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard between Bullis
Road and the east City limit, from 40 mph to 35 mph and on Wright
Road between Duncan Avenue and Fernwood Avenue from 35 mph to 30
mph.
RECOMMENDATION
That the Traffic and Parking Commission review the attached speed
zone study and support the proposed speed limits.

CITY OF LYNWOOD
ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEYS
RACKGRMINn
This report presents the results of Engineering and Traffic (E & T) Surveys as
requested by the City of Lynwood for establishment of prima facie speed limits
on City streets.
One of the criteria for the legal use of radar equipment as an aid in speed
enforcement is that a current E & T Survey exists. This Survey must be updated
every five years. The purpose of this study is to provide a current engineering
analysis of the conditions of the road and the appropriateness of the existing
posted speed limits in the City.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
This study provides E & T Surveys for 16 streets covering approximately
26.5 miles of roadways in the City. Each Survey included measurement of
prevailing vehicular speeds, recent traffic counts, analysis of the latest
available two years of accident records, and consideration of roadway and traffic
conditions not readily apparent to the drivers. The results of each Survey are
summarized on the attached forms along with a schematic map of each route
(see Appendix).
SUMMARY
The results of this study indicate that most of the existing speed limits in the
City are reasonable and consistent with accepted traffic engineering practices
and the requirements of the California Vehicle Code (CVC). Revision of the
posted speed limit is recommended only on Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard
between Bullis Road and the City of South Gate limit from 40 mph to 35 mph and
on Wright Road between Duncan Avenue and Fernwood Avenue from 35 mph to 30 mph
(see Table A).
Construction of the Century Freeway (105) is progressing through the City. When
completed, the Freeway will impact traffic patterns on various streets near the
Freeway corridor which will make it necessary to resurvey those streets which
have been affected so that the Survey will remain current with existing traffic
conditions.
ENFORCEMENT JURISDICTION
Enforcement of the CVC for the City is conducted under contract with the
Lynwood office of the County of Los Angeles Sheriff's Department.

DISCUSSION OF DATA
Traffic volume information counted during 1991 reveals that 24 -hour weekday
volumes on streets surveyed in the City have increased an average of about
25 percent over volumes reported in the January 1985 City speed zone study. This
increase of traffic is consistent with the increased population of the City which
increased about 27 percent between the 1980 and the 1990 census as reported by
the County of Los Angeles Department of Regional Planning.
The prevailing speed of traffic, as represented by the 85th percentile of the
measured speeds of vehicles, and the 10 -mile per hour pace speed (the 10 -mile
per hour bracket containing the highest number of sampled speeds) was measured
at 72 locations on the 16 study routes.. Speed measurements were conducted by
radar in an unmarked vehicle. The 85th percentile speed of traffic on the
City streets studied was found to be about 1.3 miles per hour higher than
reported in the 1985 speed zone study. In general, the observed speeds remain
consistent with the current posted speed limits.
Traffic accident data supplied by the City from the Statewide Integrated Traffic
Records System reports was analyzed for the two -year period preceding
June 30, 1991. There were 441 non - intersection collisions reported during that
Period. This represented an average of 20 percent reduction in accident rate
(accidents per million vehicle miles Ea /mvm]) on the 26.5 miles of roads surveyed
from the period used in the 1985 speed zone study. The predominant collision
patterns involved rear -end, sideswipe, and hitting parked cars. There appeared
to be a marked decrease in the number of accidents attributed to excessive speed
and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
County -wide accident rates have been calculated by the County of Los Angeles
Department of Public Works and were used as comparison to the actual accident
rates found on City streets in this study. It was found that half of the road
segments analyzed had accident rates higher than the average and half were lower
than the average. This indicates that existing prevailing speeds and speed
limits are consistent with expected levels of safety on the City streets in most
cases.
DISC USSION OF RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the findings of the traffic data discussed above and the review of
roadway and traffic conditions, it is recommended that the existing speed limits
remain unchanged on the 16 City streets surveyed with the exceptions discussed
below.

1. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard - Bullis Road to South Gate
This portion of Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard is striped for two
travel lanes and parking in each direction separated by 'solid
double - yellow center line. The roadway is fully improved to 70 feet
in width. The adjacent development is primarily residential with
some commercial fronting development. There will be southbound off -
and on -ramps to the Long Beach Freeway (710) following
reconstruction of this portion of the Freeway in conjunction with
construction of the 105 Freeway interchange. These southbound ramps
are currently closed. The existing speed limit is 40 mph on
Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard east of Bullis Road and 35 mph
west of Bullis Road.
The following speed check data was taken on Martin Luther King, Jr.
Boulevard.

The accident summary review showed an accident rate of 1.22 a /mvm between
Bullis Road and Atlantic Avenue and a rate of 3.06 a /mvm between Atlantic Avenue
and Wright Road. The County average is 1.55 a /mvm for this type of roadway.
RECOMMENDATION
On the basis of the observed prevailing speeds, accident rates, and
the existing 35 mph speed zone west of Bullis Road, it is
recommended that the existing 40 mph speed limit on
Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard between Bullis Road and the east
City boundary be rescinded and a speed limit of 35 mph be adopted.
2. Wright Road - Duncan Avenue to Fernwood Avenue
Wright Road is a collector street between Duncan Avenue and
Fernwood Avenue which varies in width from 32 feet near
Duncan Avenue to 40 feet south of Louise Avenue. The speed limit on
Wright Road from north of Imperial Highway in the City of South Gate
to Fernwood Avenue in the City is 35 mph.
City of Lynwood
Engineering and Traffic Survey
Page 4
Wright Road south of Fernwood Avenue is currently closed due to
construction of the 105 Freeway. I_n addition, the southbound on-
and off -ramps for the 710 Freeway are temporarily closed at Martin
Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. Due to this, traffic volumes on Wright
Road have decreased from about 3,000 vehicle /day to less than
2,000 vehicle /day. These volumes are expected to increase again
after completion of Freeway construction.
A review of the accident records for Wright Road from Duncan Avenue
to Fernwood Avenue shows an accident rate about four times higher
than the expected rate. Speed measurements show the 85th percentile
speed of traffic on Wright Road is 37 mph.
RECOMMENDATION
In view of the high accident rate during the past two years, the
fronting residential, industrial, and park development along
Wright Road and the expected future traffic increase following
105 Freeway construction, it is recommended that the speed limit on
Wright Road between Duncan Avenue and Fernwood Avenue be reduced
from 35 mph to 30 mph.
As previously mentioned, current traffic conditions on certain streets in the
City are affected by construction of the 105 Freeway. Namely,
Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard which will have access restored to the
710 Freeway, and Long Beach Boulevard which will have access to the 105 Freeway,
will experience a change in traffic conditions after construction is completed
and these streets should be resurveyed at that time. Other streets such as
Wright Road and Fernwood Avenue may also undergo a change in traffic patterns
when Freeway construction is complete. It is recommended that the City monitor
traffic conditions to assure that the surveys continue to be valid for
conditions.

INTRODUCTION
This report summarizes the results of a traffic impact analysis that was performed in
association with the proposed vacation of Arval Avenue. The purpose of the analysis was
to:
assess the impact that this proposed street vacation
will have on local circulation and affected properties.
SITE LOCATION
The stretch of Arval Avenue proposed for vacation is located between Martin Luther King
Jr. (MLK) Boulevard and the first alley east of MKL Boulevard just south of the intersect
of MLK Boulevard and Imperial Highway. This location is shown on Figure 1.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Arval Avenue is located in the City's HMD zone. It is 36 feet wide curb to curb with
parking permitted on both sides. Traffic control exist in the form of a stop control at the
approach to MLK Boulevard.
It is proposed to vacate Arval Avenue and convert it into a parking bay with 90 degree
compact spaces on both sides. The plan provided the City (see Appendix), also indicated
that the existing curb returns and pedestrian walks would be removed and a typical "dust-
pan" driveway approach constructed at the MLK Boulevard end.

• DISCUSSION
Arval Avenue presently serves a dual function as both a connection to the large triangular
parking area behind the buildings along the three frontage streets --- MLK Boulevard,
Imperial Highway, and Stockwell Drive - - -and parking for the buildings immediately adjacent
to it. The triangular parking area serves primarily the first two, but it is likely a few from
the residential structures on Stockwell Drive also make use of it.
The triangular parking area is also accessible via two alleys which join Stockwell Drive, but
Arval Avenue is the primary connection as shown by the traffic counts (Figure 2
summarizes the 24 hour total, and morning and afternoon peak hours) - -- almost 70% of the
inbound traffic and some 55% of the outbound traffic use it.
• The proposed driveway aisle would be approximately 20' wide between the back ends of
parked vehicles. This would be, at best, an uncomfortable condition for a through driver,
even though the length is not great. It would be even more discouraging if, as can be
expected, larger than compact cars park in some of the spaces marked along " Arval
Avenue ".
On that basis, it is estimated that roughly half of the present users of Arval Avenue would
find it more desirable to exit onto or enter from Stockwell Drive (or a suggested new
driveway on Imperial Highway, discussed below). The resulting traffic flow estimates are
shown in Figure 3. It is possible that the increase on the southerly alley at Stockwell Drive
may be noticed by the abutting building occupants. However, the worst peak hour

• condition would be only about 1 1/4 cars per minute. The change at the northerly end
would not only involve fewer vehicles, but a much smaller percentage of the existing use
and would, therefore, be most unlikely to be noticed.
It appears possible that some of the traffic diverted from Arval Avenue could be
encouraged to use right turns from and on to Imperial Highway if a driveway approach
were constructed in the existing Medical Building parking lot. Figure 4 shows what the
expected flows would be in that case.
CONCLUSIONS
The vacation of Arval Avenue and conversion of the property into a 24 car parking lot
designated for compact cars will cause some drivers to and from the large, triangular shaped
interior parking area to use other connections to the street system. The projected usage
of these other connections would not, it is believed, cause significant traffic environmental
impacts on any of the affected properties.

RE: Speed Bumps or One Way
Dear Mr. Murga
I own the Atlantic Car Wash at 10862 Atlantic Ave in Lynwood.
In order to drive the cars into the tunnel, I must use the alley
directly behind the car wash.
At times, there is traffic in the alley. To prevent accidents
I am requesting speed bumps or making the alley a one way.
Your attention into this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Please contact Joe Socha, the manager, at the car wash at the
above telephone number.

M otorcycle Deputies Cruise in 3 Cities
By VICKI TORRES
TI MCS STAFF wRl'r GR
One afternoon last October, sheriff's
deputies in the East San Gabriel Valley got
a phone call that a man with a gun had
been spotted near a Diamond Bar bank.
When deputies tried to speed to the
scene, they found their patrol cars' flashing
red lights and sirens useless in Diamond
Bar's bumper -to- bumper afternoon traffic._
But one deputy arrived to 30 seconds.
He was riding a motorcycle, training to
become a member of the first Los Angeles
County Sheriff's Department motorcycle
squad to hit the street since the 1920s.
Sheriff's Department officials say the
incident illustrates the need for new solu-
tions in patrolling the traffic - clogged
streets of the San Gabriel Valley They
have already taken the first step: a two -
year, pilot program in which six deputies
recently traded in their bulky black -and-
white patrol cars to cruise on 600 -pound
motorcycles in Diamond Bar, San Dimas
and Walnut.
If successful, the project, which started
Nov 4, could become permanent in the
three San Gabriel Valley cities and expand
countywide, said Lt. Robert Sedita, who
heads the new unit.
"A motorcycle is more versatile than a
car;" Sedita said. He believes the new
squad will shorten response time, add
flexibility-and lower the. rate. of accidents
by enforcing speed limits.
The cities contract with the Sheriffs
Department for law enforcement. But ser-
vices, such as traffic control, are becoming
increasingly difficult with only cars as
patrol vehicles, Sedita said.
The idea for the new squad was born last
year, when the three cities came to Capt.
Lee McCowan, the Walnut station's com-
mander, and asked if the Sheriff's Depart-
ment could provide deputies that ride
motorcycles. They agreed to foot the more
than $1- million bill.
Six full -time deputies riding Kawasaki
Police 1000 motorcycles on the streets
mainly during weekday rush hours repre-
sents a return to an idea abandoned more
than 60 years ago when the department
took its motorcycles off the streets.
Although no one seems to know why the
old squad disbanded, Sedita said he believes
the county gave its motorcycles to the
California Highway Patrol.
.Under the new system, three deputies
patrol Diamond Bar, two work in San
Dimas and one is assigned to Walnut. All
are equipped with radar guns. They sit at
troublesome intersections or target high -
accident areas to get motorists to follow
traffic laws, replacing black and white
traffic cars that formerly did the same job,
Sedita said.
But like their patrol -car counterparts,
the motorcycle deputies also respond to
high - priority calls, such as crimes in prog-

LOS ANGELES TIMES

r v:
PATROL: Motorcycle Deputies
Continued from J1
ress, assaults and robberies, Sedita
said.
Formerly, the department was
forced to rely for motorcycle duty
on 22 volunteer reserve deputies,
who buy their own $6,000 bikes,
still work only part time because
they hold other jobs and are on call
to stations throughout Los Angeles
County, said deputy Harry Porter,
one of the volunteer squad coordi-
nators.
Because, the sheriff's squad is
experimental, the eight deputies in
the unit —a sergeant, six riders and
an alternate —are being monitored
by sheriff's brass.
Cmdr. Thomas M. Vetter, an area
commander in field operations, said
Sheriff Sherman Block will review
the program in cooperation with
the cities.
"It could go countywide in other
contract cities," Vetter said. "It's
really up to individual cities, if they
would want it or not. So far,
the cities [involved] are very
pleased with it."
Both Diamond Bar Mayor Jay
Kim and San Dimas Mayor Terry
Dipple said motorcycles seem the.
perfect answer to law enforcement
problems. Both said residents,.
sought relief from outsiders speed-
ing through their city streets on
shortcuts.
"go far, I think it's working out,"
Dipple said. "It's less expensive
than having a traffic car sitting at
an intersection."
Sedita said the program will be
evaluated on several fronts: cost,
reduction in response time, how
often motorcycles respond to
crimes in progress and medical
emergencies, effectiveness in re-
ducing traffic accidents, and im-
provement of community relations.
"The eight guys are going to
make or break the program for the
whole county," said Mitch Brown,
34, one of the squad members.
Those picked for the job passed
two weeks of intensive training at
the Long Beach Police Department
Motorcycle Academy and six
weeks of ride -along instruction
with California Highway Patrol
motorcycle training officers.
They wear custom, lightweight
helmets, $300 knee boots, specially
made motorcycle pants and a patch
designed especially for them: a
wheel with wings.
Their ranks range from deputy
Gary Hinkle, 33, a motorcycle nov-
ice who said he had "zero" experi-
ence before making the squad, and
deputy Mitch Brown, 34, a veteran
of 21 years on dirt bikes and
touring bikes.
For Brown, a six-year veteran
who has toured Canada, Wyoming
and Arizona on a motorcycle and
commutes to work on a Honda Gold
Wing motorcycle, the squad is the
fulfillment of the second of his two
long -held goals: working for the
Sheriff's Department and being a
motorcycle officer.
Instead, of hotshot, high -speed
motorcycle tricks, Brown takes
pride in his precise control of the
vehicle at low speeds, a skill neces-
sary for police work.
His enthusiasm was evident on a
recent weekday as he made a slow,
tight circle in front of the Walnut
station, grinning as he leaned over.
so far that the motorcyle footrest
scraped the pavement.
"It's good practice," Brown said.
"You need to know how far you
can lean it without dropping it."
With the squad on the street for
only two months, it is too early to
tell whether accidents are down.
But Brown believes the presence of
the motorcycle officers deters mo-
torists from speeding and breaking
other traffic laws.
"The word gets around that the
motorcycles are out," he said.
"People appear to be slowing way
down."
San Dimas Sheriffs Office opened in 1927 with nine -man force equipped with a teletype and motorcycles.
