SCHEDULED MATTERS Item No. 6. Proposed Street Name Change - Enterprise Place Gerald L. Wallace, Lynwood Fire Chief, spoke in support of the renaming of Enterprise Place. He stated, the Lynwood Fire Department, and also, the Lynwood Fire Fighters Association, support the idea of renaming Enterprise Place to Deputy Yamamoto Place. Fire Chief Wallace handed copies of support letters from the Lynwood Fire Department and the Fighter Fighters Association to the Commissioners. He mentioned that Enterprise Place is a small street and the renaming of the street will not cause any potential hardship on anyone; the new street name would become a new home address for the Firestone Sheriff's Station, and the renaming of the street will be an honor in behalf of the late Deputy Nelson Yamamoto, Firestone Division Officer, recently slain in the line of duty. Mr. Ray Daniels, representing the Economic Resource Corporation (ERC) stated that ERC Corporation does not object to the renaming of the street. However, they do object to the way this change is being proposed. He further explained that ERC was recently notified, just last Thursday, March 16, 1992, of the renaming. He further stated that this matter should be presented as a public hearing before the City Council. Commissioner Battle asked Mr. Daniels how many existing tenants on Enterprise Place will be affected, if the street name changes. Mr. Daniels stated that there are three tenants on Enterprise Place. Commissioner Battle stated that, if the tenants concur with the renaming of Enterprise Place, they should be reimbursed for their potential business expenditures. Commissioner Cunningham mentioned that most of that particular area of Enterprise Place, in the future, in which that street name is proposed for changed, will be occupied by the Department of Los Angeles County for the Lynwood Justice Center. He also mentioned that the proposed renaming of the street would have to be approved by the City Council. Commissioner Cunningham stated that the Traffic and Parking Commission's position is to make a recommendation on the renaming of Enterprise Place. oil • Councilman Armando Rea stated that the ERC Corporation has expressed no objections to the renaming of the street to Nelson Yamamoto Way and hope that the Lynwood Traffic and Parking Commission will move with a recommendation to support the change. Councilman Rea in addition stated that the Fire Chief Wallace mentioned that we need to continue a good working relationship with the Sheriff's Department. Also, the new proposed facility will house the Lynwood Sheriff's Station and Firestone Sheriff's Station. We look to remember Deputy Yamamoto by the street name being changed to Deputy Nelson Yamamoto Place and the City Council would like to reflect a good relationship with the Sheriff's Department. Deputy Yamamoto was the first known of Japanese /American to be slain in the line of duty. Councilman Rea stated that the cost to rename Enterprise Place would be minimum. Commissioner Battle stated, in the past, when street names were changed, such as WesTech Way, at that time of Westech Gear's request, the Traffic and Parking Commission approved the recommendation to change the street name, and the Company assumed the cost for those changes. Commissioner Battle mentioned that other parties are involved on Enterprise Place and he wanted to know who will be responsible for paying their initial cost of letterheads and business cards expenses, which will be affected by the street name change. Councilman Rea replied that the City Council is willing to consider paying potential business letterhead and card expense to the affected businesses, if the street, Enterprise Place, is renamed to Deputy Yamamoto Place. Councilman Rea mentioned that the City of Lynwood will be responsible for the cost to change only one street name sign. In addition, acting in good faith, the City will provide cost for any letterheads and business cards changes for the affected businesses. Councilman Rea reiterated that the renaming of the street will be a dedication in honor of the late Deputy Yamamoto and the City will be willing to purchase the street name sign. Commissioner Battle asked, if a recommendation could be made to include the potential cost for letterheads and business cards for the tenants located on Enterprise Place. Commissioner Archambault stated that the Traffic and Parking Commission, should not set a trend in paying the cost -or businesses and residents whenever street names are changed. He stated, in the past, when the street name was changed from Century Boulevard to Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, the businessmen in that affected area paid their own business expenses for changed letterheads and business cards 7 • O Councilman Rea stated, at that time, it was the City's desire to pay all cost for the street name change when Century Boulevard was changed to Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Commissioner Battle asked Mr. Daniels, if he knew could estimate his expected business cost if street name is changed? Mr. Daniels replied that the business park has already, so far, contributed much to the City. Commissioner Cunningham asked Mr. Oskoui if there is any proposed road construction work planned for Enterprise Place that may affect the proposed street name change. Mr. Oskoui replied there are no planned changes at this time. Commissioner Cabaret asked Mr. Oskoui if he would explain the process in which street names would be changed and how the change would affect the Post Office and its system of mail delivery to the tenants on Enterprise Place. Mr. Oskoui mentioned that the City will notify the local post office of the proposed change. In the past, the post office has cooperated fully and had no objections during the last street name changes. In addition, businesses in affected areas were provided with a one year notice before renaming of streets went into effect. Commissioner Cunningham motioned to support the idea of renaming Enterprise Place to Deputy Nelson Yamamoto Place and - include, if the City Council approves the change, to cover the business expenses for letterheads and business cards replacement for the ERC Corporation. Mr. Oskoui stated that the potential cost factor may become a condition if things don't work out with the local Post Office and if any other potential hardships are encountered. Commissioner Battle seconded the motion. It passed unamiously. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS Mr. Oskoui summarized the activities in the March Monthly Report for February , 1992, and discussed the goals for May, 1992, for the Department of Public Works. Also he mentioned that traffic related articles were included for the Commissioner's view Commissioner Cunningham commended staff on the well prepared monthly reports. He stated, the reports provide useful information. rd • COMMISSION ORALS 9 Commissioner Pacheco commended Sergeant Silva on his sobriety check point operations. Commissioner Pacheco stated that Sergeant Silva is doing a good job in his operation and other individuals have also recognized his performance. Commissioner Cabaret mentioned that, a non licensed business is being operated on Monrovia Street and Josephine Street, from 11725 Monrovia Avenue. This problem was reported and resolved in the past. However, the operator again, is buying, repairing and selling cars, from the front of his property. The individual has denied that he is presently conducting business. Mr. Oskoui stated that the Sheriff's Department can respond to the traffic related problems on Monrovia Avenue and the Code Enforcement Department will be notified to investigate the Code Enforcement violations, respectively. Commissioner Cabaret mentioned that he will look into finding the Lynwood City Codes that addresses the violations and the practice being conducted by the party on Monrovia Avenue. Deputy Donald Goss stated that he will also report the violations being conducted on Monrovia to Sergeant Silva. Commissioner Cunningham mentioned that there is a parking enforcement problem at 10701 San Miguel. Vehicles have been observed to park at that location longer than 72 hours. Commissioner Cunningham mentioned that there is a liter problem at Cornish Avenue and Imperial Highway. The median island and parkway and around bus stops need to be cleaned. At 4015 Imperial Highway, at the bus stop location, on the north side of the street, the area needs to be maintenanced. Commissioner Battle mentioned that there is a problem with trucks that continue to park on a commercial lot on the north east corner of Gibson Street and Rosecrans Avenue. Commissioner Battle expressed concern that fruit is being sold on private property located on Gibson Avenue at McMillan Street. In addition, individuals are selling goods from a garage sale in the City of Rancho Dominguez on Gibson Street and McMillan Street. Commissioner Archambault stated that there is a pan handling problem on Peach Street at a liquor store. Deputy Goss replied that the problem is presently being addressed. However, a pan handling problem is not considered a crime, however, a pan handling problem is considered a public nuisance. F7 • i Commissioner Cunningham mentioned that during the Easter Holiday week, a number of 6 to 10 teenagers were noticed assembled on bicycles on the parking lot of Clark's Drug Store. The group may be assembling with the intent to sell drugs. Commissioner Cunningham mentioned that ambulances are making left turns from westbound Imperial Highway onto Stockwell Drive. He suggested that a letter be prepared to the ambulance companies not to make left turns at that location because of its potential unsafe condition. In addition, the left turn marking is nearly gone. Mr. Oskoui mentioned that a study will later be conducted on Imperial Highway and Stockwell Drive to investigate the traffic related conditions. Commissioner Battle stated that at the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and Carlin Avenue, the traffic signal light phase was noticed to be inoperative. Mr. Oskoui mentioned that a response will be made to the intersection to investigate the condition of the traffic signal light on Atlantic Avenue and Carlin Avenue, for correction. Commissioner Cabaret expressed concerned that a traffic signal light remained on flashing red for approximately 3 days prior to the Easter holiday weekend, which caused a traffic backup problem on Imperial Highway He questioned why signal light does not default to yellow caution. Mr. Oskoui responded that, if the traffic signal light defaults to yellow, then it would create inability for vehicles from southbound Los Flores to enter onto Imperial Highway. The red flashing default light, if the regular time signal light becomes inoperative, gives the vehicles a chance to enter Imperial Highway. He further stated that the problem with the light will be investigated. Also, Mr. Oskoui mentioned the Public Works Inspector once each week inspects all traffic signals in the City for proper operations. Commissioner Archambault mentioned that, at the February 24, 1992, meeting, he provided copies of the Press - Telegram, Business Outlook '92, (pages C12 through C14) to each Commissioner. The article addressed code enforcement issues from several local cities. However, the copies were not of good quality. He suggested that the Commissioners request the issue or the newspaper or a good photocopy could be provided to each Commissioner at the next meeting of May 28, 1992 0 9 ADJOURNMENT A motioned was made by Commissioner Cunningham to adjourn the meeting to May 28, 1992 at 6:00 p.m. of the Traffic and Parking Commission in the City Council Chambers. It was seconded by Commissioner Battle and carried unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 7:35 p.m. Commissioner Cabaret announced that he will be on vacation and will not attend the next scheduled Traffic and Parking Commission meeting. roc,a90 Il I 0 • DATE: May 28, 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: Traffic Study Pine Avenue Between Shirley Avenue and Imperial Highway PURPOSE: That the Traffic and Parking Commission review the traffic study for Pine Avenue between Imperial Highway and Shirley Avenue and support staff's recommendation for an enforcement program to be conducted by the Sheriff's Department and implementation of additional safety measures. BACKGROUND: Staff has received a letter from Ms. Eleanor Williams residing at 11081 Pine Street (see attached) raising concerns with the traffic safety on Pine Avenue. The letter outlined concerns about heavy traffic on Pine Avenue, motorists not observing the stop signs and speed limit and the safety of school children. In addition, Ms. Williams has suggested the installation of speed bumps, posting of school crossing signs and closure of Pine Avenue at Imperial Highway. ANALYSIS: Pine Street between Imperial Highway and Shirley Avenue is a residential street with the following characteristics: 1. Right -of -way width: 60 feet 2. Curb to curb width: 35 feet 3. Speed limit: 25 mph Traffic Volume: A. Pine Avenue at Shirley Avenue: 329 vehicles per day (VPD) (5- 14 -92) a.m. peak (7:45 - 8:45): 61 vehicles p.m. peak (14:15 - 15:15): 56 vehicles B. Pine Avenue at Los Flores Avenue: 1,172 vehicles per day (VPD) (5- 14 -92) a.m. peak (8:00 - 9:00): 85 vehicles p.m. peak (14:45 - 15:45): 110 vehicles S. 0 0 Traffic Accidents: Five (5) accidents in two (2) years period of January 1, 1990, through December 31, 1992 (see attached SWITRS report). Pine Ave. @ Imperial Date of 3/07/91 17:00 Pedestrian/ Pedestrian Vicinity Accident Time Parties involved Type Pine Ave. @ @ Los Flores Blvd. 5/24/90 18:00 Bicycle /Vehicle Right -of -way Vehicle in violation automobile Pine Ave. @ Elmwood Ave. 7/7/90 23:10 Vehicles/ Side swipe Parked Vehicle Pine Ave. @ Imperial Hwy. 3/07/91 17:00 Pedestrian/ Pedestrian Vehicle in violation Pine Ave. @ Sanborn Ave. 3/20/91 14:00 Pedestrian/ Pedestrian Vehicle in violation Pine Ave. @ Sanborn Ave. 9/20/91 16:30 Vehicle /Vehicle Side swipe Speed (Radar) Study: One (1) hour sample taken one May 21, 1992 (8:22 a.m. to 9:22 a.m.) No. of vehicles in sample = 28 vehicles Median speed: 23 MPH 85 percentile: 34 MPH The typical volume of vehicles for a residential roadway is between 1,000 VPD to 5,000 VPD. The average traffic volume on Pine Street between Imperial Highway and Shirley Avenue is 1,172 VPD. This number is considerably lower than the maximum of 5,000 VPH which indicates that Pine Avenue carries below average volume of cars for an residential street. The accident history for the two year period of 1/1/90 through 12/31/91 shows a total of five accidents. None of these accidents can be considered to be correctable. In the particular case of pedestrian /vehicle accidents (see attached copy of SWITRS Report) both accidents were caused by the pedestrians not observing the right -of -way of the automobiles. Both pedestrians were seven years of age and darted out into the street in the path of the crossing vehicles, causing the collision. Washington Elementary School is located at the corner of Sanborn Avenue and Harris Avenue. School crosswalks and Children School Crossing signs are in place on Pine Avenue (see attached map) to enhance the safety conditions for school children. 0 0 Staff also conducted a study observing the compliance of drivers with the stops at the intersection of Pine Avenue at Elmwood Avenue, and Elmwood Avenue at Beechwood Avenue. The results of the survey is attached. Of the total number of 689 vehicles observed, 331 drivers did a complete stop, 293 rolled the stops and 65 ran the stop signs. Regarding the proposal of installing speed bumps, based on a study completed by the City of San Jose, the California Traffic Safety Device Committee does not recommend the installation of speed bumps on city streets. Therefore, since other municipalities following the Committee's recommendation do not install speed bumps in city streets; and considering that speed bumps increase the chance of rear end type of accidents and they pose potential hazard to motorcycles and bicycles; installation of speed bumps across Pine Avenue is not recommended. Staff will keep the Commission abreast of any change of policies or new information regarding the speed bumps. Regarding the proposal of closing Pine Avenue at Imperial Highway, if Pine Avenue is to be closed off, all the vehicles using this route will spill over to the adjacent streets, especially Linden Avenue, which would be the only north -south outlet to Imperial Highway from Bullis Road to Atlantic Avenue. Therefore, closure of Pine Avenue is not recommended at this time; however, staff will advise the Commission in case of any future studies addressing closure of a street in the subject area. In conclusion, Pine Avenue carries a volume of vehicles typical for a residential street, and to further enhance the safety conditions for pedestrians and vehicular traffic, the implementation of the following measures are recommended. To address issues of the drivers not observing the speed limit and stop signs, staff recommends that the Sheriff's Department implement an enforcement program along Pine Avenue, from Imperial Highway to Shirley Avenue and report back the results to the Commission in December of 199. In addition, staff recommends implementation of the following additional safety measures: 1. Replace the existing school crossing signs (30 inch x 30 inch) with larger signs (36 inch x 36 inch) to make them more visible. 2. Replace existing Stop signs (18 inch x 18 inch) with larger signs (30 inch x 30 inch) to make them more visible. 3. Repaint existing school crosswalks. RECOMMENDATION: That the Traffic and Parking Commission review the traffic study for Pine Avenue between Imperial Highway and Shirley Avenue and support staff's recommendation for an enforcement program to be conducted by the Sheriff's Department and implementation of additional safety measures. • i March 6, 1992 Mr. Emilio Murga Director of Public Works Lynwood City Hall 11330 Bullis Road Lynwood, California 90262 Dear Mr. Murga: RECEIVED MAR - 9 1992 PUBLIC WORKWI G NEB OG My name is Eleanor Williams. My husband Arthur, myself and our three children reside at 11081 Pine Street, corner of Elmwood and Pine between Imperial Hwy. and Beechwood Avenue. We have been residents since August 1988. We are pleased with our home and plan to be here in the city of Lynwood. An area of grave concern to us is the constant traffic on Pine Street which often results in running the stop signs on the corner of Elmwood and Pine and Elmwood and Harris (a dead end street). I know that the traffic is heavier on our street because Imperial Hwy. is blocked off from Bullis Rd. to Pine Street, our street is the first opening which provides access from Imperial Hwy. We are extremely concerned for the safety of our children and the safety of our homes. Already in the past year, we have had two serious accidents, one resulting in one of the neighbor's cars being totalled out, and the other the driver hit a tree lu3t barely missing the resident's home. We have had to call thr, poliCc t2dcjuently to , - 7-4k th fl-541 €tance by patrolling the area for a period of time. Each time they patrolled, they inevitably caught someone speeding or running the red light. This neighborhood is also in very close proximity to two schools, the Seventh Day Adventist Academy and Washington Elementary School. I am very concerned for the safety of our children who play in neighborhood and walk to /from school. I am proposing that the City of Lynwood install speed bumps on the streets, post School Xing signs, and close off Pine Street at Imperial Hwy. If it is necessary to have the neighbors sign a petition, I am willing to do that. Hopefully, you will respond to this request before someone is seriously hurt Mr. Murga, I am requesting that you either respond to me in writing at the address below, or telephone my home at (213) 638- 6760. I hope to hear from you soon.

Yamamoto, who was killed in the line of duty As Commander of the Firestone Sheriff's Station, I wish to convey the heartfelt appreciation of all law enforcement for this fine gesture of support and recognition. Nelson Yamamoto and his family made the ultimate sacrifice to public service. Each and every peace officer understands the risks that come with a career in law enforcement and we accepted them willingly The outpouring of sympathy, support, and gratitude for Nelson Yamamoto, the Yamamoto family, and law enforcement has been overwhelming and reinforces our commitment to the citizens of the County of Los Angeles. The naming of a Lynwood City street after Deputy Yamamoto demonstrates the mutual commitment and dedication of both, the citizens of Lynwood and members of the Sheriff's Department, to a safer community Again, we thank you for this fine gesture.

I wholeheartedly support this effort. I believe it would honor the memory of a fine young deputy who has made the ultimate sacrifice for the members of the community the Regional Justice Center will serve.

Cueva, Captain Commander, Sheriff's Lynwood Station Over20 Million DMV Licenses Issued in State Almost 190,000 new drivers in 1991 increased California's licensed driver population to more than 20 million, according to figures released by the Department of Motor Vehicles. The 0.9% rise to 90,066,000 continued a pat- tern of uninterrupted growth in the number of California motorists. Five years ago there were 18.5 million licensed drivers. DMV figures reveal that 10,645,800 males have driver licenses and 9,420,000 females are licensed to drive in the state. Leading all counties, Los Angeles checks in with 5,597,000 In contrast, Alphine County has fewer motorists than any other with only 800 holding driver licenses. This is the third year in a row that Alpine's number has remained con- stant. Orange County remains in the second spot with 1,790,500 licensed drivers. San Diego and Santa Clara counties follow closely, as they have since 1989, with 1,725,500 and 1,087,800 respectively Finishing off the top ten are San Bernardino, 930,000; Alameda, 865,900; Riverside, 788,600, Sacramento, 719,400; Con- tra Costa, 590,300; and San Mateo County with 477,900. In addition to driverlicen- ses, DMV reports more than 6,555,900 identification car- ds are now in the hands of Californians, up 6.2% from last year.

Cleanest - Burnin Car to Go on Sale ■ Environment: The gasoline- powered vehicle beats smog rules by four years.. It is expected to be in California showrooms next month.,,,. a By LARRY B. STAMMER TIMES ENVIRONMENTAI WRITER The cleanest gasoline- powered car ever put into production will be sold this year by an American auto maker four years before a strict California emission control standard takes effect. Enthusiastic state officials said Tuesday the car will produce six times less smog- forming hydrocarbons than the cleanest models on the road today while running on regular_, unleaded gasoline. ' The vehicle; a Ford Escort, began production last week at Ford's plant in Wayne, Mich., and will be in show- rooms by the end of next month. Ford said it will build 30,000 Escorts and 4,000 Mercury Tracers, which will only be offered for sale in California. "It is the cleanest car that we have ever approved for mass production," state Air Resources Board Chairwom- an Joanne Sharpless said. The vehicle is certified to not exceed emission limits for 100,000 miles, which is twice the current mileage standard. The fact that a car maker could turn out the vehicle so quickly appeared to vindicate the ARB, which came under fire two years ago when it voted for the tough standards. The tailpipe standards —the world's most strin- gent— become progressively tighter over the years and are a cornerstone of efforts to reduce air pollution in the Los Angeles region, the nation's smog- giest. "There were some who said we had gone too far in 1990,” Sharpless said during a news conference with Ford executives at the board's emissions laboratory in El Monte. "Today's an- nouncement shows that these goals are definitely within reach." Donald R Buist, director of Ford's automotive emissions and fuel econo- my office in Dearborn, Mich., said: "Once the ARB finalized [the new emission standards] in late 1990 we concluded they were serious So we went back home and did the best we could as quickly as we could. "We're happy to be the world's first and we re thrilled to be able to do it here in California where the need is obvious," Buist said.

OKd for Sale Continued from A3 cerned about safety, reliability and performance than emission char- acteristics, said Don Engle, sales manager at Los Feliz Ford in Glendale. But he said the fact that the car is cleaner should boost sales. ' "When they come into the deal- ership, [environmental concerns] are not one of the buying signs they're giving to us," said Engle. 'But I think it will help sales. People are conscientious. I think people want to do the right thing." Ford is readying a major mar- keting campaign touting the car's _low emissions. Sticker .price of the car will range from $8,700 to $12,300, de- pending upon options, Engle said. Buist said the price of the new emission system, which he said will cost Ford $100, will not be passed on to the customer The car's improved emission performance represents no techno- logical breakthrough, Ford and the ARB said. The lower emissions are achieved by adding an exhaust gas recirculation valve and making the catalytic converter more effective by loading it with greater amounts of precious metals such as platinum and rhodium. Also, Ford said it recalibrated the engine to reduce the amount of engine emissions before they pass through the improved catalytic converter. Recalibration involves changing the spark timing and constantly altering the air -fuel ra- tio. In addition, the size of the four - cylinder engine, 1.9 liters, makes it easier to achieve greater emission reductions, Buist said. He said he did not know how quickly Ford will be able to apply the Escort's technology on larger vehicles. The added emission controls will reduce gasoline mileage by about one mile per gallon, bringing aver- age fuel economy to an estimated 34 miles per gallon. Engine per- formance, such as acceleration, will be equal to this year's model, Ford said. The car is certified by the state as meeting the tougher 1994 stand- ard. It also outperforms the even more stringent 1997 emission limits for hydrocarbons and carbon mon- oxide, and nearly meets the 1997 cap on nitrogen oxides, another ingredient of smog. But Ford said it was not clear that the car would continue to stay within the tougher 1997 standard for the full 100,000 miles of service required by the state. For that reason, the car was certified by the state as meeting its 1994 standard for 100,000 miles, but not the 1997 standard._ Emissions usually in- crease as a car ages. Sharpless said that because Ford will be turning out the Escort four years ahead of schedule, the com- pany will be given credit against the 1997 state quota that at least one out of every four cars built that year meet the tougher emission standard. Emission statistics for the Escort are impressive, the ARB said. It reported that emissions of smog - forming hydrocarbons such as un- burned gasoline fumes are 0.062 grams per mile, compared to the 1994 standard of 0.125 grams per mile and the 1997 standard of 0.075 grams per mile. The current stand- ard is 0.39 grams per mile. Levels of smog - forming oxides of nitrogen are half that of the 1994 standard of 0.2 grams per mile and are close to levels required in 1997 Carbon monoxide emissions are 1.3 grams per mile, compared to the 1994 standard of 3.4 grams per mile, and the 1997 standard of 1.7 grams per mile. t C1 JANUARY Good and the had In the L.B. area The story repeats Itself nroughout the greater Long Beach area.
