INSTALLATION OF A THIRD THROUGH TRAFFIC LANE AT THE INTERSECTION OF IMPERIAL HIGHWAY AND MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. BOULEVARD INFORMATIONAL ITEMS COMMISSION ORAL COMMUNICATIONS T06 -931 DATE: August 27, 1992 • TO: THE HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE TRAFFIC AND PARKING COMMISSION FROM: EMILIO M. MURGA, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKSy /��� SUBJECT: INSTALLATION OF THIRD THROUGH TRAFFIC LANE AT THE INTERSECTION OF IMPERIAL HIGHWAY AND M.L. King Jr. BLVD. PURPOSE: That the Traffic and Parking Commission support staff's recommendation to install third through traffic lanes at the intersection of Imperial Highway and M.L. King Jr. Boulevard. BACKGROUND: Staff, through the City Manager's office, has received a letter from Mr. Robert Walter, Vice President of Facilities of Saint Francis Medical Center, requesting installation of a new, right turn only lane along the west side of M.L. King Jr. Boulevard from Imperial Highway to Cesar Chavez Lane (see attached copy). ANALYSIS: Presently, curbs on both sides of Imperial Highway, east and west of M.L. King Jr. Blvd., are marked red, and third through traffic lanes have been installed. The lanes have reduced unnecessary queuing at the intersection and have improved the overall capacity of the intersection (see attached sketch). Although installation of a right turn only lane, on the west side of M.L. King Jr. Boulevard, between Imperial Highway and Cesar Chavez Lane, would help ingress and egress of traffic into and out of the Saint Francis facility, however, it does not fit the general scheme of installing third through lanes at intersections to improve the capacity and reduce queuing and delays. By installing a third through traffic lane along the west side of M.L. King Jr. Boulevard, not only the purpose of improving the egress and ingress traffic movements into and out of Saint Francis Medical Center facility will be achieved but the traffic conditions at the intersection will also improve. Delay at the intersection will decrease and capacity will increase. Presently, when vehicles slow down or stop to complete a turn movement into and out of St. Francis Medical facility, lane No. 2 would become blocked. The third through traffic lane will free up lane No. 2, therefore improving the through traffic movement. The impact of designating red curbs to allow for the installation of the third through lane on existing parking conditions is negligible. Majority of the curb is presently designated as red curb. Only seven parking spaces will be eliminated (see attached map). St. Francis Medic enter is committed to paoor the cost of It installing new pavement markers, removing existing markers, installing red curbs and other associated cost for installing third through traffic lanes. Installation of red curb and third through lanes on the west side of M. L. King Boulevard between Norton Avenue to 200 feet south, and on the east side between Cesar Chavez Lane to 800 feet north, is not feasible. Several small businesses that do not have off- street parking accommodations are located along these sections of M.L. King Boulevard, therefore by installing red curbs the only available parking spaces for the patrons will be eliminated. Therefore, staff recommends installation of third through traffic lanes at the west side of M.L. King Jr. Blvd. from just north of Imperial Highway to Cesar Chavez Lane, and on the east side, between Imperial Highway and Norton Avenue (see attached sketch). RECOMMENDATION: That the Traffic and Parking Commission support staff's recommendation to install third through traffic lanes at the intersection of Imperial Highway and M.L. King Jr. Boulevard. UMMI&I ( St. Francis Medical Center Our Mission is Life August 14, 1992 Mr. Faustine Gonzales Interim City Manager Lynwood City Hall 11330 Bullis Road Lynwood, CA 90262 Dear Mr. Gonzales, 0 P_. y'_D 363o Last Imperial Flglnaay CITY OF LYVW0011y'nm Callornia go262 Telr hl'tk' fro 603 6000 AUJ 1 15 J2 CITY MANAGERS OFPCE In our continuing efforts to improve patient service, we have found it necessary to improve control of vehicular access to the campus. The City of Lynwood provided the first step in that improvement by creating a free left -turn pocket along the Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. /Medical Center frontage as well as extending the no parking zones adjacent to those entry points. Because of recent increases in security incidents, we determined it necessary to relocate our MLR Jr. Blvd. entry control gates. However, in doing so, we omitted considering the effect on south -east bound MLR Jr. Blvd. traffic. The potential exists for right -turn traffic onto the campus from southeast -bound vehicles to back up on MLK Jr. Blvd., thus disrupting other Blvd traffic. To remedy the situation, we propose creating a right -turn only curb lane by eliminating the curb parking along the campus frontage. The cost should be minimal and, with your approval, would be assumed solely by St. Francis Medical Center. One additional requirement is also necessary to better direct and control the flow of emergency vehicles to the Emergency Room. As you may recall, the traffic control plan coordinated with the City provided for separate vehicle entry points for emergency vehicles and public traffic. In practice, however, we continue to have difficulty educating the myriad of ambulance drivers, paramedics, and sheriff's deputies on which entry to use. This creates grave danger to pedestrians on campus, as well as robs crucial minutes from the ill and accident victims being transported in the emergency vehicle. To remedy the situation, we propose posting an appropriate instructional sign, along with the Right Turn Only sign suggested above, to direct the emergeny vehicles to the correct entry. e �I1111 \\'Il 0\ \1 Ill \1 "1 *11 tii \]T \I 0 9 For your consideration, we are also receiving cost proposals to re -sod and install new irrigation in the fairways along the Blvd. Should this prove to be affordable, we would proceed with your approval at our expense. Please contact me at 603 -6903 to discuss our proposals. Si erely, r'��1 - Robert W. Walter, P.E. Vice President, Facilities RWW /km C: Bldg. Dept. Planning Dept.

Mr. Oskoui explained that in the Traffic and Parking Commission meeting of April, 1992, Commissioner Cunningham asked staff to study the intersection of Imperial Highway at Stockwell Drive for possible visibility problems. Mr. Oskoui then described the traffic study for the subject location. He explained that the study was completed based on several factors, such as, the guidelines of the State of California, Department of Transportation (Caltrans) traffic manual section; for analyzing roadway visibility at locations where roadway has a curvature in its alignment and traffic accident history. Mr. Oskoui then concluded that staff is of the opinion that the intersection of Imperial Highway at Stockwell Drive is presently operating safely. However, staff will monitor the incoming accident reports and will report to the Commission any accidents involving turn movements for further consideration. Commissioner Cabaret asked if the crossing guards assigned at Imperial Highway and Stockwell Drive participated in the study, for an example, being interviewed to see if they have experienced any traffic related problems. Commissioner Cunningham expressed concern that frequently, large trucks travel in the eastbound direction on Imperial Highway from Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, at high speeds. He exclaimed that the high speeding of the trucks pose potential problems. Commissioner Cunningham directed his concern regarding the trucks to Deputy Thompson and further stated that it is not unusual also to observe trucks traveling side by side at high speeds on Imperial Highway from Atlantic Avenue. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS Mr. Oskoui provided the Commission with the monthly report status for May, 1992 and provided information on the goals set by each Public Work's division for the month of August, 1992. He reviewed each one of the listed projects in the monthly report, in detail and answered questions. COMMISSION ORALS Chairman Archambault mentioned, in front of the Stockwell Drive facility, on Imperial Highway at Stockwell Drive, there is a parkway tree blocking a posted School Crossing sign. 2 I I Mr. Oskoui stated, staff will check the site and evaluate the condition and will take appropriate action to evaluate the problem. Commissioner Cunningham reminded the Commission that Councilman Armando Rea, at the May 28, 1992, Traffic and Parking Commission meeting, was present and suggested that, in the future, it would be an advantage if a Parking Enforcement Officer would attend each Traffic and Parking Commission meeting. The intent would be to have an officer present, to address Parking Enforcement complaints and discuss issues relating to parking enforcement problems. Lorry Torres, representing the Parking Enforcement Division, was present and answered the Commission's questions regarding the Parking Enforcement Program and the handling of the complaint's process. She discussed with the Commission, the currently used complaint processing system. Ms. Torres stated, at the present time, complaints are manually handled. However, a new computer system has recently been installed, in the future, will be fully utilized to receive complaints and be used in the complaint follow -up process. ADJOURNMENT: A motion was made by Commissioner Cunningham to adjourn the meeting to August 27, 1992, at 6:00 p.m. of the Traffic and Parking Commission in the City Council Chambers. Commissioner Cabaret seconded the motion. It carried unanimously.

City Clerk, City Attachment A DISABLED rr:RSONS ON- STREET PARKING IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS INSTRUCTIONS The City of Lynwood does not provide on- street parking for private individuals.

County Cities Receive $75 Million in Proposition C Local Return Monies ities throughout Los Angeles County received a big wind- fall earl) in July when the Los Angeles County Trans- portation Commission distrib- uted nearly $75 million in Proposi- tion C local return monies. Begin- ning with this disbursement, 20% of Proposition C's approximately $400 million a year in sales taxes returns directly to the countys 88 cities for local transit - related improvements. Disbursement follows a 2-year court delay While county voters approved the U2 -cent sales tax measure in 1990, a legal challenge delayed disburse- ment of the funds for two years. "LACTC commissioners took the prudent approach and made the de- cision last year to withhold spend- ing of the Proposition C funds until all the legal challenges had been ex- hausted," LACTC Executive Direc- tor Neil Peterson said at a press conference to announce disburse- ment of the funds. "Us Angeles County cities now have a unique op- portunity to implement innovative transportation programs and solu- tions the taxpayers have been awaiting." Each city decides how to spend its share The measure specifies that alloca- tions be determined on a per capita basis. The largest recipient, the City of Los Angeles, received $30.15 mil- lion. Next in line comes the City of Long Beach with $3.7 million. A combined total of $8 million went to unincorporated areas throughout Los Angeles County. "Given today's economic conditions, this money will help to create jobs and make many long - awaited im- provements," said Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley. Unlike money from Proposition A, a previous transportation funding measure approved by voters in 1980, Proposition C was designed to allow cities greater latitude in de- ciding how to spend the money. Cities can fund projects from ridesharing to rail Local return allocations can be used for ridesharing projects as well as public transit, paratransit and re- lated services. Cities can also use the funds to increase safety and im- prove road conditions by repairing and maintaining streets subject to heavy public transit usage. Other city efforts that benefit both buses and automobiles are eligible for Proposition C local return fund- ing. Such programs include Trans- portation Systems Management (TSM) projects like signal synchro- nization, intersection improvements and other transit - related traffic con- trol measures. "One of the reasons so many people supported Proposition C was be- cause it allows cities the freedom to choose where best to spend the money," said Claremont City Coun- cil- member and League of Cities President Judith Wright. After all, city managers and those dealing with the day -to -day operation of running a city know best where there is the greatest need. With Proposition C checks in hand, transportation planners and city managers throughout the county couldn't agree more. 0 J1, WS7f'i',1MZ
