Request For On- street Handicap Parking Space Located at
3654 Lynwood Road, Applicant, Eula Moore
Mr. Semaan announced that Ms. Eula Moore of 3654 Lynwood
Road, has requested installation of on- street handicap
parking in front of her property. Ms. Moore claims that she
has difficulty opening the wrought iron gate on her property
which allows her to enter and exit. Staff has evaluated her
request, performed a field survey of her property and has
found that regarding Ms. Moore's physical condition, she has
a slight physical handicap and regarding her property, she
has a two car garage and a long driveway along -side of her
property, both which provides on -site parking. Staff has
recommended that the Traffic and Parking Commission review
Ms. Moore's request, consider the study results and make a
recommendation.
Commissioner Cunningham discussed that he had an opportunity
to visit Ms. Moore at her property and spoke with her. He
stated that he observed that Ms. Moore appeared to have a
slight arthritic problem in her right hand and she has a
handicap problem in her left hand. Regarding her property,
he observed that her garage area provides parking and along
the side of her exit door there is space for parking. Her
property has two gates, one, a safety wrought iron gate to
enter her property, the other a wrought iron fence.
Commissioner Cunningham stated that Ms. Moore mentioned
that she is concerned that vehicles continue to park in
front of her address and take up the parking space.
Chairman Archambault mentioned that he also had the
opportunity to visit Ms. Moore at her property and spoke
with her. He stated that he observed that there is parking
only on one side of Lynwood Road, however, Ms. Moore has
ample on -site parking space. Discussion continued.
Chairman Archambault motioned to deny Ms. Moore's request
for installation of handicap street parking, since her
property provides ample on -site parking spaces.
Commissioner Pacheco seconded the motion. It was passed
unanimously.
Installation of a Third Through Traffic Lane at the
Intersection of Imperial Highway and Martin Luther King
Jr.Boulevard.
Mr. Semaan stated that Mr. Robert Walter, vice President of
Facilities of Saint Francis Medical Center, has requested,
through the City Manager's Office, a new right turn only lane
2
0 0
along the west side of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, from
Imperial Highway to Cesar Chavez Lane. Mr. Walter has also
requested the elimination the curb parking along the medical
center's campus frontage. Staff has completed a study and
request that the Traffic and Parking Commission consider
Mr. Walker's request, staff's report, the results of the
study and support staff's recommendation to install a third
through traffic lanes at the west side of M.L. King Jr.
Boulevard from just north of Imperial Highway to Cesar Chavez
Lane, also on the east side, between Imperial Highway and
Norton Avenue. However, staff has determined that
eliminating the curb parking would be a disadvantage for
local businesses without off - street parking along MLK Jr.
Blvd., it would eliminate on- street parking.
Commissioner Cunningham motioned to accept staff's recommendation
to the installation of a third through traffic lane and
Commissioner Pacheco seconded the motion. It passed unanimously.
Mr. Robert Walker shortly arrived after the Commission reached a
decision and Mr. Semaan informed Mr. Walker that the Commission
voted in favor of installation of a third through traffic lane.
Commissioner Cunningham invited Mr. Walker to make comments on
the existing crosswalk which is located on M.L. King Jr. Blvd.
south of Imperial Highway which crosses from the Lynwood Florist
Shop to the medical center facility.
Mr. Walker replied that the crosswalk is frequently used by many
of the medical center's staff. They travel from the Stockwell
Drive facility to the medical center, using the crosswalk, daily.
However, the heavy traffic at that location pose potential
problems. A better control system is needed at the crosswalk.
Mr. Walker stated that, in the pass, a traffic signal light has
been considered at the crosswalk. However, staff does not
support that idea, since the crosswalk is near the signalized
intersection of M.L.K. Jr. Blvd. and Imperial Highway.
Commissioner Cunningham mentioned that previous studies performed
by other cities have shown that crosswalks do not provide real
safety and presents a false sense of security for pedestrians.
INFORMATIONAL ITEMS
Mr. Semaan, provided the Commission with the status of the
Department of Public Works projects, included Department goal
information for the month of September and discussed attached
articles. He also mentioned that approximately 40 students
participated and completed training in the Department of Public
Works' various divisions.

Commissioner Cunningham discussed the problem of vehicles being
bought and sold, striped down in yards and vehicle bodies left in
alleyway at various locations in the city. He mentioned that Ms.
Torres has been notified of the problem.
Chairman Archambault discussed that he completed a list of code
enforcement items that he wants to have resolved and handed staff
the list.
Chairman Archambault stated that on Fernwood Avenue and State
Street, a parkway tree's branches are hanging down low into the
street causing pedestrians traffic to walk into the street and
vehicles to go around the tree. Commissioner Archambault
expressed concern of potential city liability.
Mr. Semaan replied that staff will investigate problem of tree.

INSTRUCTIONS
The City of Lynwood does not provide on- street parking for private
individuals. It must be emphasized that even "disabled parkins

short -term purpose but later are seldom used. Unjustified

parking for the general public Sad detracts from the overall
effectiveness of the disabled persons parking program.

late$ for "disabled persons or "disabled veterans" issued by�
