The two items are Restriction of Left Turn From Imperial Highway Onto Peach Street at Peak Hours and the Study of Stockwell Drive at Imperial Highway. Mr. Oskoui continued with the summary of the Department of Public Works monthly report information. He explained the progress of the Long Beach Boulevard, Phase IIB Project, widening of both sides of the street project. He explained, as part of the process, the street will be reconstructed from Agnes Avenue to Orchard Avenue. The project was recently advertised in the local papers in May, 1992. The bid opening was held in the City Clerk's office on June 25, 1992. The lowest bid received was less than $1.1 million dollars. The amount is less than the engineer's estimate. He further explained that the construction work will begin in one month after the City Council awards the contract at its Council meeting of July, 1992. The construction phase of the project will take approximately three months to be completed. The project is, for the most part, a FAU funded project. As a part of the I -105 Freeway, Well No. 20 was constructed. During the process of the I -105 Freeway construction project, four to five years ago, levels of manganese was found in the water well, after the well was constructed. A study is now being performed to measure the level of contamination in water, and the study will provide proper methods to reduce the manganese level. The Public Works Department will continue with the physical work to correct the problem. Street Lighting Improvement Project, Bullis Road from Platt Avenue to Imperial Highway. In part, the project involves the undergrounding of utilities from Platt Avenue to Imperial Highway. New marbelite poles will replace the wooden light poles. The street lighting system will be city owned and maintained. The City will realize a savings when the City assumes the maintenance responsibilities. Project Rehabilitation of Wells 11, 15 and booster pumps are now completed. The booster pumps 1,2,3 are located across from City Hall at Well No. 8 Presently, Well No. 15 is being repaired and is expected to be completed and back in operation in one month. The Sidewalk Reconstruction Project was completed last week. Ancon Marine Services of Wilmington, the contractor for the project, completed repairs at 94 locations with damaged sidewalks, curbs and gutters and drive approaches. 2 .�5 .ft • The installation of the Remote Control Telemetry Unit will give -- capability of well operations in case of an emergency or power failure. The wells will continue to pump under problems. The unit is location in the Water Yard at 11750 Alameda Street. Louise Avenue water Service Replacement Project - The project was com:oleted by Miramontes Construction Company. The company replaced old water lines on Louise Avenue between Martin Luther King Jr Blvd. to Beechwood Avenue. Prior to the project, some homes in that area received water from the old service lines. Water Meter Replacement Project - Some old water meters have extended their expected life, which is 15 years. When meters become old, they register water flow slower and leak. As a result, the City loses revenue. As part of project, 400 new water r:eters will be installed. The project started one weer ago and will be completed in approximately two weeks. Concrete Pavement Repairs. Asphalt patching, 2 large asphalt cuts were made on Josephine Street, just east of School Street, three cuts on Imperial Hichway, where the old Montgomery Wards Department store was and in front of Fire Station 1. At State Street and Redwood Avenue, the pavement has aged and will be repaired. The pavement repair work will begin on Tuesday of next week and be completed on Friday of next week. On the East side of Long Beach Boulevard, from Tenaya Avenue to Cherokee Street, old cuts are now being fixed. Installation of raised markers. Mr. Oskoui explained that there is a need for new markings. The last time raised markers were installed was in 1981. The life of markings last from five to six years. The markings that will be replaced are left turn arrows and school crossing sings. The work will start on Monday of next week and will be finished in two weeks. COMMISSION ORALS Commissioner Cabaret expressed that his neighbors are frequently and unnecessarily sounding off their car alarms. He expressed concern and asked how this problem could be resolvec. Deputy Thompson stated that a section in the vehicle code may address= the situation If owner can't be contacted, the vehicles can be =owed That type of problem can be treated s_milar to nuisance of loud parties. Deputy Thompson stated he gi_1 look into =:e problem. Comm_ssioner Battle made a suggestion to Commissioner Cabaret. He sta..ed that he may, from his living room, tape the noise of the ca= alarm for evidence purpose, call Sheriff's Department and file a complaint that the neighbors are disturbing t e peace. 3 7 • • Commissioner Cabaret stated when he first joined the Traffic and Parking Commission, the matter of alley vacation, located at the south east corner of Atlantic Avenue and South of Imperial Highway, and at the rear of the Union Gas Station, was discussed. He requested status of the alley vacation. Mr. Oskoui explained that, during that time, a subdivision map was being reviewed by the Planning Commission. However, since that time, there has been a transfer in new ownership. We will have to review the status of the map. We will follow through , it has to be scheduled for the City Council's consideration. Commissioner Cunningham stated that Councilman Rea, at the May, 1992, Traffic and Parking Commission meeting, suggested that the Traffic Enforcement Officers participate in the Traffic and Parking Commission meetings to address enforcement issues. He asked if Councilman Rea's idea has been presented to the Public Works staff. Mr. Oskoui replied that Councilman Rea, at the last meeting of May 28, 1992, stated that he will pursue the issue. Commissioner Cunningham stated a problem continues at two locations. At 10701 San Miguel, the property owner continues to conduct a tow service operation. A letter has been addressed and forwarded to City Manager's office of problem. Commissioner Cunningham expressed that presently there is no effective follow -up process after information has been entered into the City's computer system. Commissioner Cunningham stated that there is a business operation problem at 4015 Imperial Highway. The property owner is operating a business, selling motor vehicles from his property. The property owner continues to conducts his business. A letter was sent to owner, personal contact was made and a call was placed to the City Manager's office. The problem continues Commissioner Cunningham implied that he is not satisfied with the telephone tactics of the City Hall Employees. When a complaint is filed by way of telephone, the telephone calls are not being handled professionally. The complaint system needs to be improved. Chairman Archambault stated that the Commission, at one time, reviewed traffic citation rates However, the Traffic and Parking Commission, has not reviewed rates lately. The City of Lynwooc s rates in the past have been compared with other cities, such as, the cities of South Gate and Downey. The Cities of South Gate and Downey recently raised their traffic citation rates. 0 • Mr. Oskoui replied that the City, in the past, as a matter of policy the rates were reviewed of the traffic citation fees every l year. However, the State has altered their policy. Consequently, the City can increase their rates, however, if the existing rates are increased, the City would not be entitled to the amounts collected above the existing rates. The moneys would go to the courts towards court cases. The city has decided to wait until January, 1993, to perform a rate study. Chairman Archambault announced that there will be a new Police Review Committee which the City Council recently approved by a favorable vote. The new committee will receive and review complaints from citizens. The board will then perform investigations and report the cases to the City Council, once each month. ADJOURN A motion was made by Commissioner Cabaret, to adjourn the meeting to July 23, 1992 at 6:00 p.m. of the Traffic and Parking Commission in the City Council Chambers. Commissioner Cunningham seconded the motion. It carried unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 6:40 p.m. T06 -870 5 DATE: June 23, 1992 TO: The Honorable Chairman and Members of The City of Lynwood Traffic And Parking Commission FROM: Emilio M. Murga, Director of Public Works( � / BY: Jahanshah Oskoui, Assistant Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Review of Roadway Visibility Conditions Imperial Highway at Stockwell Drive PURPOSE: That the Traffic and Parking Commission review staff's report with regards to the roadway visibility conditions at the subject location. BACKGROUND: The Traffic and Parking Commission at its meeting of April 23, 1992, asked staff to review the roadway visibility conditions at the intersection of Imperial Highway and Stockwell Drive. ANALYSIS: Imperial Highway is a four lane arterial roadway, and at its intersection with Stockwell Drive, has the following characteristics: • Width: property line to property line, 100 feet curb to curb, 75 feet • Speed limit: 40 mph • Parking restrictions: Red curb, south curb (see attached sketch). Stockwell Drive is a two way, residential roadway that has the following characteristics: 1, • Width: property line to property line, 50 feet curb to curb, 30 feet • Speed limit: 25 mph Imperial Highway at Stockwell Drive curves towards the southeast with a radius of 450 feet (see attached sketch). An office building (The Stockwell Building) is located at the curve on the south side of Imperial Highway (see attached sketch). For the purpose of our analysis, the six foot high planter wall, in front of this building, located immediately behind the sidewalk, has been considered as the view obstruction. A four lane highway should be so designed that the subject distance, at all points, is greater than the minimum stopping sight distance.* The minimum stopping sight distance is based upon the sum of two distances: one, the distance traveled from the time the object is sighted to the instance the brakes are applied, and two, the distance required for stopping the vehicle after the brakes are applied.* For the design speed of 40 mph, designated at 300 feet. (Design Transportation, Section 200 -6). the stopping sight distance is Manual, California Department of Based on the radius of the centerline of the inside lane, in this case, 476 feet, and the minimum stoppage sight distance of 300, the minimum lateral clearance to obstruction can be obtained from a chart provided in the Cal -trans design manual, Section 200 -6 (see attached copy)." From this chart, the clearance is calculated at 24 feet. The actual clearance verified by field measurement is 26 feet. Since the actual clearance value is larger than the minimum design value, therefore vehicles traveling on Imperial Highway will have enough time to safely stop along for vehicles making left turns into or out of Stockwell Drive. Additionally, the accident history (January 1991 through December 1991) reflects two accidents at the subject location. Both accidents were of the rear end type and did not involve vehicles making turn movements (see attached SWITRS report). Staff is of the opinion that the intersection of Imperial Highway and Stockwell Drive is presently operating safety. However, staff will monitor the incoming accident reports and will report to the Commission any accidents involving turn movements for further consideration. RECOMMENDATION That the Traffic and Parking Commission review staff's report with regards to the roadway visibility conditions at the subject location. * Transportation Engineering - Planning and Design (Paquette, Ashford and Wright, page 388).

The big question, industry offi- cials said, is whether the promise of the company's nickel metal -hy- dride batteries can be fulfilled in bigger versions and manufactured economically to feed an emerging electric vehicle industry As expected, an ECD subsidiary, Ovonic Battery Co., was awarded an $18.5- million development con- tract by the U.S. Advanced Battery Consortium. It is the first of several such contracts expected to be awarded in coming weeks aimed at bringing to market a new battery by the end of 1994. Ovonic's nickel metal- hydride batteries — smaller versions of which are being used under license in video camcorders, cellular Phones and laptop computers —also pose no hazardous -waste disposal problems and are recyclable, the government said. Korean auto maker Hvundai has already licensed the Ovonic tech- nology ECU founder Stanford Ovshmsky said that license and his contract with the consortium were written to favor U.S. interests and protect the know -how developed with help of taxpayer funds. Ja- pan's Matsushita Electric recently announced plans to develop its own nickel metal - hydride car batteries. 'Hyundai is Interested for the same reasons we are." said John Wallace. chairman of the battery consortium and head of Ford Motor Co. s electrical vehicle project. "There's lots of inventing still to do. Our intention is simply to blow by them." ECD s claims were supported in testing by the U.S. Energy Depart- ment's Argonne National Labora- tory The batteries consist of nickel hydroxide and an alloy of vanadi- um, titanium, zirconium and nickel. The battery consortium was es- tablished last year by General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, the Elec- tric Power Research Institute in Palo Alto and the Energy Depart- ment. It will spend $260 million over four years, half of it from taxpayers. The rush to develop a better battery was triggered by Califor- nia's requirement that 2% of the cars sold by each manufacturer be "zero- polluting" as of 1998. ECD is run by Ovshinsky, a self - educated inventor who has kept his chronically unprofitable firm alive for 32 years on the strength of government contracts and investments by major U.S. and especially Japanese companies in- terested in the firm's research into solar cells and other areas. Only limited commercial pro- duction has resulted from ECD's work, and such onetime partners as Atlantic Richfield Co. have with- drawn in frustration. In the 1970s, Ovshmsky's bullish forecasts for his publicly traded firm attracted the skeptical oversight of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commis- sion. However, Ovshmsky remains highly regarded m Japan's tech- nology community and has estab- lished numerous joint ventures and research contracts with such mainstream firms as Canon Inc. and Matsushita.
