A TO: THE HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE TRAFFIC AND PARKING COMMISSION FROM: Emilio Murga, Director of Public Works4 SUBJECT: Request For Removal of a Red Curb on Fernwood Avenue East of Fir Avenue PURPOSE To recommend that the Traffic And Parking Commission review the request for removal of red curb and make recommendations. BACKGROUND Red curbs are in existence on the north side of Fernwood Avenue from the westerly drive approach at 3655 Fernwood (Resurrection Life Center Church) to 3661 Fernwood Avenue (see attached sketch). The property owner at 3661 Fernwood Avenue has requested that the red curb in front of his property be removed in order to allow for additional on street parking.

Any additional traffic parking problems in the area, such as - parked vehicles blocking the Church driveway or visibility from said driveway, is being addressed by the remaining existing red curb adjacent to the westerly drive approach and by selective parking enforcement. Therefore staff recommends that the red curb in front of 3661 Fernwood be painted over gray to allow for additional parking, and the remaining painted curbs to be repainted.

BACKGROUND: The new I -105 Freeway was opened to traffic on October 14, 1993. The opening of the I -105 Freeway has caused normal traffic patterns in the City to be altered and consequently, traffic flow has increased on many of the local streets. The effects of these changed traffic patters is particularly acute in the residential areas south of the I -105 freeway east and west of Long Beach Blvd (between Bullis Road to State Street). Besides the increased traffic volume in the area, the area lacks collector streets that are wide enough to handle traffic coming and going to arterial streets. ANALYSIS: The proposed traffic study will look at traffic volumes, accident history, travel patters, existing volume capacity of street, etc. and make recommendations as to ways to improve traffic flow, reduce delays and relieve congestion in the area. I The traffic study is estimated to cost between $15,000 to $30,000. However, staff will wait until the Request for Proposals have been received and a price is negotiated before asking council for an appropriation. The study will take approximately thirty (30) days to complete. A report will be submitted to the Traffic and Parking Commission for their review and comments, and will be subsequently submitted to the City Council for final review and adoption. Since some congestion relief measures can be implemented now, staff also recommends that the attached set of "Interim Congestion Relief" measures be approved by the City Council for immediate implementation (see attached). RECOMMENDATION: To recommend that the Traffic and Parking Commission support staff's request to send out Request for Proposals to firms specializing in Traffic Engineering to study and make recommendations to address traffic congestion in the area south of the I -105 Freeway between Bullis Road and State Street and to review and recommend the implementation of the Interim Congestion Relief measures.

C70 -603 r -' -- 4 r DATE: DECEMBER 16, 1993 TO: THE HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE TRAFFIC AND PARKING COMMISSION FROM: Emilio Murga, Director of Public WorksIP9/ s SUBJECT: Request for Stop Sign at Lynwood Road and Lindbergh Avenue PURPOSE To recommend that the Traffic and Parking Commission review the request and support the proposed improvements at the intersection of Lynwood Road and Lindbergh Avenue. BACKGROUND A request was received from local residents for the Traffic and Parking Commission to look at traffic safety at the intersection of Lynwood Road and Lindbergh Avenue and have requested a stop sign as a way of resolving the problem. Staff has completed a study which is based on the State of California, Department of Transportation, Traffic Manual, pages 4 -37. The following data has been obtained. Existing Conditions o Type of intersection o Accidents (during the past 12 months) o Traffic volumes: Residential Lindbergh Avenue (both directions) less than 1500 vpd Lynwood Road (both directions) less 500 vehicle per day o Street width: Lindbergh Avenue 30 feet (curb to curb) north leg Lindbergh Avenue 24 feet (curb to curb) south leg • One 4/9/93 - DUI if t J }' 0 Lynwood Road Lynwood Road 30 feet (curb to curb) west leg 30 feet (curb to curb) east leg o visibility: Lindbergh Avenue Lynwood Road Good Good Analysis: Existing Conditions The intersection of Lindbergh Avenue and Lynwood Roads located in a residential neighborhood in the City of Lynwood. Lindbergh Avenue and Lynwood Road contain one unstriped lane in each direction of travel with on- street parking on each leg. This intersection is presently operating without stop signs. The Caltrns stop sign policy lists seven (7) conditions that may warrant installation of stop signs. Warrant No.l: On the less important road at its intersection with a main road where application of the normal right of way rule is unduly hazardous as evidence by accident susceptible to correction by stop signs. This warrant is not met since the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) for the year of 1992 shows no accidents occurred at this intersection. For 1993, the SWITRS shows one accident caused by driving -under - influence of alcohol for the first half of 1993. Warrant No. 2: On a County road or City street at its intersection with a state highway. This warrant is not applicable. Warrant No. 3• At the intersection of two main highways. The highway traffic to be stopped depends on approach speeds, volumes and turning movements. This warrant is not applicable. Warrant No. 4: On a street entering a legally established through highway or street. This warrant is not applicable. Warrant No. 5: On a minor street where the safe approach speed to the intersection is less than 10 miles per hour. This warrant is not met. 17 miles per hour. Warrant No. 6• The calculated safe approach speed is At an unsignalized intersection in a signalized area. This warrant is not applicable. Warrant No. 7: At other intersections where a combination of high speed, restricted view, and accident record indicates a need for control by the 'STOP sign. This warrant is not met since there was only one reportable accident (DUI), and the view is not restricted. Based on analysis and observations, the intersection of Lindbergh Avenue and Lynwood Road is presently operating safely without STOP signs. However, in order to improve the intersection, staff recommends the following improvements: 1. Install a 9500 lumen street light on Lindbergh Avenue between Lynwood Road and Flower Street to enhance visibility at night. 2. Remove vines growing on chain link fence a the southwest corner of the intersection of Lindbergh Avenue and Lynwood Road to enhance westbound visability. 3. Paint 25' of red curb on the south side of Lynwood Road just east of Lindbergh Avenue to enhance northbound visiblity. 4. Install No Parking Anytime signs on the east side of Lindbergh from Lynwood Road to Flower Street to provide better vehicular access. 5. Relocate wooden street light pole two (2) feet back of curb face at the northwest corner of Lindbergh Avenue and Lynwood Road to prevent vehicles making right turns from hitting pole that sits too close to the roadway. 6. Request that the Sheriff's Department monitor the intersection for speeding and traffic violations, and report back to the Traffic and Parking Commission on their findings. Staff also recommends that this intersection be placed under observation for a period of six (6) months and that it be reviewed again by the Traffic and Parking Commission in six (6) months. RECOMMENDATION To recommend that the Traffic and Parking Commission review the request and support the proposed improvements at the intersection of Lynwood Road and Lindbergh Avenue. t07 -288a P-)( IAD & - Toe: I " 1lo emzv- - �Ibfj zo - e A41 To E, iP� Lo Gtr - rte <>r LT, Vj IT%Ll I e--&5 C- r- 6-VP-6, kJ3 -.&Vf- , - - -- - - Z�- A RUN 10/21/93 REPORT 8.
