Public Orals Ms. Anita Gonzales, 2725 E. 111th Street, expressed concern regarding several and recent pedestrian accidents that involved school age children that occurred at St. Emydius School on California Avenue near Imperial Highway. The Commission continued with questions and discussion. After Ms. Gonzales explained the pedestrian accident problem, Mr. Oskoui informed and suggested to Ms. Gonzales that she may quickly initiate and incite a study, if she would request in writing a letter to Mr. Murga, the Director of Public Works, regarding the pedestrian accident problems. Mr. Oskoui also mentioned that safety educational programs, involving parents would help reduce the number of school age children pedestrian accidents. i Scheduled Matters 6. Review of Traffic Safety Evaluation Enforcement and Engineering Analysis Report Conducted by the Institute of Traffic Studies (ITS) a continued item. Mr. Oskoui explained that Institute of Traffic Safety completed in two parts, comprehensive evaluation of the system of traffic engineering and enforcement. ITS compared the City's current system and listed several suggestions that the City could consider to modify and make gradual changes. He also mentioned that the Sheriff's Department percentage of officers is extremely below the recommended number of officers, based on City's population. Staff requested the Commission's support to accept ITS' report, for them to present ITS' report to the City Council for acceptance and staff will prepare a recommendation supporting ITS' recommendations. Commissioner Cunningham motioned to support staff's recommendation to accept ITS report and present the report with supporting resolution to the City Council for their acceptance. It was seconded by Commissioner Pacheco and passed unanimously. • 7. Traffic Safety Study - Mark Twain Elementary School Mr. Oskoui announced that Ms. Joyce Ortiz, the school principal of Mark Twain Elementary School; has requested staff to investigate a pedestrian accident problem involving school age children and the parents double parking and allowing their children in and out of vehicles while parked in the street in front of the school. Staff has completed their study and requests the Traffic and Parking Commission to support their recommendation to remove the existing red painted curb and repaint the curb white, on the west side of Thorson Avenue, from Carlin Avenue to Magnolia Avenue, in front of Mark Twain Elementary School. Parking enforcement will be difficult, however, the Parking Enforcement can be notified. Staff will also monitor pedestrian accidents and conduct educational program. Mr. Oskoui continued and discussed the report findings. Mr. Oskoui provided the area's characteristics and reported, for the past two years, two accidents have occurred near the school. One accident occurred on October 27, 1992, the other on November 18, 1992. In each case, both injured pedestrian were at fault. Presently, the school has no on -site parking for parents. However, on -site parking is provided on the front lot of the school the for school staff. Mr. Oskoui mentioned, to improve the safety conditions, traffic safety 2 ~ r • • educational programs should be implemented, send letters to parents for parent participation and get the school security involved in safety practices. Ms. Ortiz, School Principal, discussed the pedestrian accident problem at Mark Twain Elementary School. She made several suggestions, such as, installing a loading and unloading zone for parent parking, since parents do not have on -site parking and they continue to double park in the street. In addition, she suggested posting street parking signs to allow weekend street parking and asked staff if they would install the signs. She also suggested creating on -site parking for the school staff on Magnolia Street and mentioned, at this time, Audrey Clark, School Superintendent and the School Risk Management team are currently investigating the possibility of creating parking for the school's staff, on the rear lot near Magnolia Street. However, the school will have to request a permit for a drive approach from the City. Ms. Ortiz has also expressed concern of traffic that travels at excessive speeds on Thorson Avenue. She stated that she supports the proposed educational plan. The Commissioner asked questions and continued their discussion. Commissioner Cunningham asked is there are any 15 miles per • hour (mph) speed limit signs posted on Thorson Avenue. Mr. Oskoui mentioned that he will check and see if the 15 mph speed limit signs are posted on Thornson Avenue, and if not, will them installed. Mr. Oskoui mentioned that letters can be sent to parents educating them regarding children's safety. Also, the city has applied for grant funding from OTS for school safety educational program. Commissioner Cunningham suggested the Sheriff's Department monitor area. Officer Bryant mentioned that the Sheriff's Department has limited•resources, however, if needed can assist and provide a deputy to monitor for two hour periods. Commissioner Archambault motioned to accept staff's recommendation with amendment to consider posting a 15 mph speed limit sign on Thorson Avenue, if not posted. Commissioner Pacheco seconded and it passed unanimously. i 3 Q .6 Informa tional item: Mr. Oskoui mentioned that the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) will provide the City with grant funding to provide the local grade schools to educate their students on safety matters. Mark Twain Elementary School will participate in the pilot educational program. Staff will also provide periodic safety progress reports to the Commission. Mr. Oskoui provided the Commission with the Department of Public Works' Monthly Report information and discussed articles of interest. Commissioner's Orals Commissioner Cunningham mentioned that the Parking Enforcement Department should be reminded to follow up on their complaints. Cars are being striped down and left abandoned. Commissioner Pacheo mentioned that grocery trucks are parking, loading and unloading their vehicles, parking across the sidewalks, and blocking Bullis Road, north of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, normally between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Adiournment • A motion was made to adjourn the meeting by Commission Cunningham, it was seconded by Commissioner Archambault and passed unanimously. The meeting adjourned to March 25, 1993 at 6:00 p.m. The meeting adjourned at 7:25 p.m. Wn7 -210 4 4 K 0 • E DATE: March 25, 1993 TO: THE HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE TRAFFIC AND PARKING COMMISSION FROM: Emilio M. Murga, Director of Public Works SUBJECT: REVIEW OF SAFETY CONDITIONS Intersection of Alameda Street & Martin Luther King Blvd. PURPOSE: To recommend that the Traffic and Parking Commission support staff's recommendations for providing additional safety measures at the intersection of Alameda Street and Martin Luther King Boulevard. BACKGROUND: Staff has received a request for traffic safety improvements from Mr. John Cencak of the Jones Lumber Company located at 10711 Alameda Avenue. Mr. Cencak expressed his concern with regards to vehicles speeding and driving under the influence at the above mentioned location. These accidents have lead to property damages at the Jones Lumber Company. Martin Luther King'Boulevard forms an intersection with Alameda Street. Alameda Street is divided by the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks into East Alameda and West Alameda (see sketch). This intersection is controlled by a pre -timed traffic signal. These roadways have the following characteristics (see attached sketch): West Alameda Street o Property line to property line width: 71 feet o Curb to curb width: 58 feet • Number of driving lanes: 4 • Number of parking lanes: None • Posted speed limit: 40 MPH • Critical Speed: 44 MPH • Average Daily Traffic: 29,855 VPD (1991 counts) , 1 East Alameda Street • o Property line to property line width: 40 feet • o Parkway width: 8 feet • Number of driving lanes: 2 • Number of Parking Lanes: 1 • Posted Speed limit: 35 MPH • Average Daily Traffic: 2,647 VPD (1991 counts) Martin Luther King Boulevard • Property line to property line width: 100 feet • Curb to curb width: 70 feet • Number of driving lanes: 4 • Number of parking lanes: 2 • Posted Speed limit: 40 MPH • Critical Speed: 44 MPH o Average Daily Traffic: 11,057 VPD • (East bound 4,883; West bound 6,174; [1991 counts]) ANALYSIS The accident rate for Boulevard and Alameda vehicles entering the is below the standard Angeles, which indica within the acceptable the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Street is 0.80 accidents per million intersection (see attachment). This rate rate of 2.0 as set by the County of Los :es that the intersection is operating range of safe operations. It should be noted that as to the accident rates, out of the fifty -two (52) signalized intersections in the City of Lynwood, this intersection ranks the twenty -third (1991 Intersection Accident Rating List). The intersection with the highest accident rate is the intersection of Martin Luther King Boulevard and California Avenue with an accident rate of 1.9. (See attached) Staff has also observed the traffic operation, both during the day time and night time and surveyed the general conditions of the intersection. A list of deficiencies and proposed improvements have been identified which are presented below. By implementing these improvements the operation of the intersection will become safer. • 2 1. Proposed Improvement• • 1. Patching portions of damaged pavement at the east side of the intersection. • 2. Improve street light conditions by installing additional street lights and increasing the intensity of the existing lights. 3. Internally luminated street name signs to be made operational. 4. Replace all 8 inch traffic signal head with 12 inch heads for better visibility. 5. Restripe the entire intersection. 6. Place larger size advance warning signs (ie., T- intersection W2 -4, Rail Road Ahead) for batter visibility. 7. Place typical end of road markers Type 3C -3 on the property fence of Jones Lumber Company. These signs will be very effective in identifying the of the road particularly at night. • 8. Install guard rails at the west side of the intersection in front of 10711 West Alameda Street to protect pedestrians and prevent cars that run off the curb from hitting and damaging the chain link fence. 9. Recommend to Jones Lumber Company to reinstall entrance chain link gate with a set back (see sketch). This will avoid damages to the fence in case of a driver traveling west bound and going through the driveway without noticing the end of the road. Also, installation of an entry arch at this entrance gate will help the drivers to identify the west side of the intersection as the end of the roadway. 10. Recommend removal of a flashing beacon on the private property (Jones Lumber Company) that is confusing to the drivers. 11. Evaluate the existing channelization of the intersection and redesign it, if necessary. The Department of Public Works will complete this work in the future. 12. Reconstruct damaged pavement at the intersection. • 3 13. Reinstall condition reinstall operation completed the detector loops. The existing loops due to of the roadway are not operational. By ing the detectors loops the traffic signal will become more efficient. This work can be after repairing the pavement. 14. Redesign the intersection. Change the profiles of the intersection by raising it at Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard as well as West and East Alameda Street to provide a smoother transition at the rail road tracks as well as widening the intersection. This will improve the visibility of the intersection particularly for the motorist traveling in an east, west direction. Also, as a part of the new design, installation of new curbs and sidewalks at all corners must be included to enhance pedestrian protection. The Department of Public Works will schedule the completion of this project in the future. 15. Feasibility of using a different phasing and timing for the traffic signals will be evaluated. This work will be completed in the future. 16. In addition, to address the issue of speeding, we recommend that the Sheriff's Department implement a • selective enforcement program and report the detailed results of the program to the Commission in three (3) months (June 1993). Implementation of both short -term (items 1 through 10 and item 16) and long -term improvements (items 11 through 15) as listed in the above, could enhance the safe operation of the intersection. RECOMMENDATION To recommend that the Traffic and Parking Commission support staff's recommendations for providing additional safety measures at the intersection of Alameda Street and Martin Luther King Boulevard.

Spacing of the signs should b'e I J such that the motorists always have two in view, until the change in alignment eliminates the need for the signs. To be effective, Chevron Alignment signs should be visible for at least 500 feet; trial runs by day and night may be desirable to determine final positioning. 2C -1; Cross Road Sign (W2 -1) The Cross Road sign is intended for use on a through highway to indicate the presence of an obscured crossroad intersection. It is not ordinarily used where Junction signing (secs. 2D -14, 2D -29) or advance route turn assembly signs (sec. 2D -30) are present. The relative importance of the intersecting roads may be shown by different widths of line in the diagram. The diagram for a crossroad intersection with a slight offset should indicate that the side roads are not opposite each other If the crossroad occurs in the vicinity of a curve the symbol may be modified appropri- ately W2-1 30" x 30" �.4 Fj W2-2 W2-3 30" x 30" 30" x 30" 2C -13 T Symbol Sign (W24) The T symbol sign is intended for use to warn traffic approaching a T- intersection on the road that forms the stem of the T, i.e., where traffic must make a turn either to the right or to the left. The sign should not generally be used on an approach where traffic is required t stop before entering the intersection, nor at a T- intersection that is a el- ized by traffic islands, nor where Junction signing or Advance urn Arrows are present. The relative importance of the intersecting roads may be shown by different widths of line in the diagram. It may be desirable to place a double - headed Large Arrow sign at the head of the T, directly in line with approaching traffic (sec. 2C -9). 5 M"-i, W - • 30 "x 30" 30" x 30" 2C -12 Side Road Sign (W2 -2, W2 -3) The Side Road sign, showing a side -road symbol, either left or right, and at an angle of either 90 or 45 degrees, is intended for use in advance of a side -road intersection according to the same warrants as set forth for the Cross Road sign (sea 2C -I1). The relative importance of the intersecting roads may be shown by different widths of line in the diagram. If the side road occurs in the vicinity of a curve the symbol may be modified appropriately. J 2C -14 Y Symbol Sign (W2 -5) The Y symbol sign is intended for use to warn traffic approaching a Y- intersection on the road that forms the stem of the Y The sign should not generally be used at a Y- intersection that is channelized by traffic islands, nor where Junction signing or Advanced Turn Arrows are pre- sent. The relative importance of the intersecting roads may be shown by different widths of line in the diagram. It may be desirable to erect a double- headed Large Arrow sign (sec. 2C -9) at the fork of the Y directly in line with approaching traffic. 2C -6 I 2C -7 For additional emphasis, a large surface such as a bridge pier may be painted with diagonal stripes, 12 inches or greater in width, similar in design to the Type 3 object marker The alternating black and reflectorized yellow stripes shall be sloped down at an angle of 45 ° toward the side of the obstruction which traffic is to pass. Rev 2 Appropriate signs (secs. 2B -25 and 2C -33) directing traffic to one or 111 - tct both sides of the obstruction may be used in lieu of the object marker In pay. 3 addition to markings on the face of an obstruction in the roadway, warning of approach to the obstruction shall be given by appropriate pavement markings (sec. 3B -13). Where the vertical clearance of an overhead structure exceeds the maximum legal height of vehicle by less than one foot, the clearance in feet and inches should be clearly marked on the structure (sec. 2C -34). 3C -3 Objects Adjacent to the Roadway Objects not actually in the roadway may be so close to the edge of the road that they need a marker These include underpass piers, bridge abutments, handrails and culvert headwalls. In some cases there may not be a physical object involved, but other roadside conditions such as narrow .,houlder drop -offs, gores, small islands and abrupt changes in the roadway alignment may make it undesirable for a driver to leave the roadway Type 2 or 3 object markers are intended for use at such locations. The inside edge of the marker shall be in line with the inner edge of the obstruction. • Standard warning signs (Part II -C) should also be used where applicable. Typical applications of markers for roadside obstructions are shown in figure 3 -20 3C -4 End of Roadway When it is determined that markers should be placed at the end of a Editaer roadway where there is no alternate vehicular path, either a marker c consisting of nine red reflectors, each with a minimum dimension of approximately 3 ", mounted symmetrically on an 18 -inch diamond, red or black panel; or an 18 -inch diamond reflectorized red panel shall be used. c t ,;,p, More than one marker or a larger marker may be used at the end of the sw.2 roadway where conditions warrant. The minimum mounting height of this marker shall be four feet. Appropriate advance warning signs should be used. ..;, Typical Type 1 Object Markers *69 18 "x18" 18 "x18" 18 "x18" Typical Type 2 Object Markers 2 6 0 000 6"x12 6 12"x6" 12 „ x6 „ Typical Type 3 Object Markers OM -3L OM -3R • 12 "x36" 12 "x36" Typical End of Road Markers 18 "X18" 18 "x18" 18 "x18" • iii For ad al protection the Advisory Speed plate (sec. 2C -35) may be used 2C-7 Reverse Curve Sign (W1 -4) The Reverse Curve sign is intended for use to mark two curves in opposite directions, as defined in the warrants for curve signs (sec. 2C -5) that are separated by a tangent of less than 600 feet. If the first curve is to the right, a Right Reverse Curve sign (WI -4R) shall be used, and if the first curve is to the left, a Left Reverse Curve sign (WI -4L) shall be used. For additional protection the Advisory Speed plate (sec. 2C -35) may be used 2C -8 Winding Road Sign (W1 -5) A Large Arrow sign is intended to be used to give ice of a sharp change of alignment in the direction of travel. It is 11 e used where J► there is no change in the direction of travel (ends of med�, center piers, etc.). The Large Arrow sign, when used, shall be erected on the outside of -a curve or on the far side of an intersection, in line with, and at right angles to, approaching traffic. To be effective the Large Arrow sign should be visible for at least 500 feet and trial runs by day and night may be desirable to determine final positioning. The Winding Road sign is intended for use where there are three or I 11-29(c) more turns or curves, as defined in the warrants for Turn and Curve signs Re v.2 (secs 2C -4 and 5), separated by tangent distances of less than 600 feet. If the Winding Road sign is used it shall be erected in advance of the first curve. Where the three or more turns or curves extend over a roadway 11 -29(c) length of I mile or more, the supplemental plaque (W7 -3a, NEXT X I Rev.2 MILES) may be installed below the WI -5 sign. Additional warning may be provided by the installation of road delin- eation markers (sec. 3D -4) and by use of the Advisory Speed plate (sec. IEdho 2C -35) Chan Rev. 4 5 W I -5R 30" x 30" 2C -9 Large Arrow Sign (WI -6, W1 -7) The Large .Arrow sign shall be a horizontal rectangle with a standard .ize of 48 a 24 inches, having a large arrow (WI -6) or a double head arrow (WI -7).

It shall have a yellow background with chevron symbol in black. The size of sign used will be determined by an engineering investigation. A Chevron Alignment sign may be used as an alternate or supplement to standard delineators and to the Large Arrow sign. The Chevron Alignment sign is intended to be used to give notice of a sharp change of alignment with the direction of travel. Chevron Alignment sign is intended to provide additional emphasis and guidance for vehicle operators as to changes in horizontal alignment of the roadway • WI -e 18" X 24" 2C -5 Rev. 9184 _• 1. • COLLISION DIAGRAM Location: ALL`MEDa A\IE s M.L.Y.

Murga, Director of Public Works John Oskoui, Assistant Director of Public Works O V SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR AN ADULT CROSSING GUARD - SAINT EMYDIUS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, CALIFORNIA AVENUE PURPOSE: To recommend that the Traffic and Parking Commission support a request by Saint Emydius Elementary School for an adult crossing guard on California Avenue at Norton Avenue, remove uncontrolled and undesignated crosswalks in front of the school, and implement additional safety measures. BACKGROUND: The Department of Public Works has been contacted by Sister Mairead Langley requesting the assignment of an adult crossing guard in front of Saint Emydius Elementary School. • Staff has completed a traffic study based on the City Council's Resolution No. 76 -106, Crossing Guard Policy for the City of Lynwood (see attached). California Avenue is a collector street intersecting with Norton Avenue which is also a collector street. This intersection is controlled by four -way stop with flashing beacons. These streets have the following characteristics: 1. Description: A. California Avenue Right of way width: 85 feet Curb to curb width: 60 feet Number of driving lanes: 4 Number of parking lanes: 2 Posted Speed Limit:, 35 MPH Critical speed limit: 36 MPH 1 Number of driving lanes: 2 Number of parking lanes: 2 Posted Speed Limit: 30 MPH Critical speed limit: 39 MPH 2. Existing Crosswalks: o California Avenue at Norton Avenue - All sides of the intersection except for the south side have crosswalks. The Suggested Safest Route to Elementary School Map shows crosswalks on the north and south side of the intersection only. o California Avenue at Elizabeth Avenue - There is an uncontrolled crosswalk on the north side of intersection. This crosswalk is not included in the Suggested Safest Route to Elementary Schools map, however, this map shows a crosswalk at the west side (crossing Elizabeth Avenue). • o Norton Avenue (255 feet north of California Avenue) - There is an existing uncontrolled mid -block crosswalk which is not a recommended crossing per the Suggested Safest Route to Elementary Schools map. 3. Accidents: There have been no accidents involving pedestrians during the year of 1992 and 1993. 4. Signs: The school crossing sign, stop ahead school crossing, and school speed limit sign5are in place on both sides of California Avenue. School crossing signs are also in place on both sides of Norton Avenue. • 2 • B. Norton Avenue East of California West of California Right of way width: 60.5 feet 44 feet Curb to curb width: 40 feet 35 feet Number of driving lanes: 2 Number of parking lanes: 2 Posted Speed Limit: 30 MPH Critical speed limit: 39 MPH 2. Existing Crosswalks: o California Avenue at Norton Avenue - All sides of the intersection except for the south side have crosswalks.

School crossing signs are also in place on both sides of Norton Avenue. • 2 0 0 • • ANALYSIS The City Council Resolution 79 -106, describes conditions and the warrants for assigning adult crossing guards (see attached copy). Adult crossing guards normally are assigned where official supervision of elementary school children is desirable while they cross a public street or highway, and where the following warrants are met: • Stop sign controlled crossings where the vehicular traffic volume through an undivided roadway of four or more lanes exceeds 500 vehicles per hour during any period when the children are normally going to and from school, • At least 20 elementary school age pedestrians, per hour, for each of two hours, utilize the crossing on the way to or from school. The pedestrian and vehicular traffic volume counts are summarized below: A. California Avenue - o vehicular traffic volume count: 8,800 VPD • Peak hour vehicular traffic count: 626 vehicles (8 -9 AM) • Pedestrian counts: 7:00 A.M. - 8:00 A.M. : 53 8:00 A.M. - 9:00 A.M. : 23 2:00 P.M. - 3:00 P.M. : 25 3:00 P.M. - 4:00 P.M. : 91 B. Norton Avenue - o Vehicular traffic volume count: 4,800 VPD • Peak hour vehicular traffic count: 336 vehicles • Pedestrian counts: Crosswalk east of California Avenue 7:00 A.M. - 8:00 A.M. : 17 8:00 A.M. - 9:00 A.M. : 02 2:00 P.M. - 3:00 P.M. : 24 3:00 P.M. - 4:00 P.M. : 14 Crosswalk west of California Avenue 7:00 A.M. - 8:00 A.M. : 32 8:00 A.M. - 9:00 A.M. : 03 2:00 P.M. - 3:00 P.M. : 13 3:00 P.M. - 4:00 P.M. : 58 3 0 E • Based on the above data (see attached pedestrian count sheets), for the crosswalk on California Avenue, the pedestrian count was 53 children between 7:00 A.M. - 8:00 A.M. and 91 children between 3:00 P.M. to 4:00 P.M. which is well above the minimum required (20 for each hour of a two hour period) as specified by the warrants, and since the vehicular traffic volume of 626 vehicles during peak hours also exceeds the minimum required number outlined in the warrants (350 vehicles per hour for each of the two subject hours), the assignment of an adult crossing guard in front of the Saint Emydius Elementary School at California Avenue is warranted. In addition the following improvements are also recommended. 1. The two uncontrolled crosswalks, one on California Avenue (at Elizabeth Avenue) and the mid -block crosswalk on Norton Avenue (east of the intersection of Norton Avenue and California Avenue), which are not designated crosswalks per suggested safest elementary school route map, should be eliminated. By eliminating the undesignated crosswalks, school children crossings will be concentrated on the designated controlled crossings, therefore, enhancing safety conditions for them. It is suggested that the school officials close the access gates on Norton Avenue to encourage the children to enter and exit the campus utilizing the designated crosswalks at the intersection. • 2. Install a cross walk at west side of the intersection of Elizabeth Avenue and California Avenue (across Elizabeth Avenue) as per Suggested Safest Routes to Elementary Schools. 3. Update the suggested safest school route map to include the existing crosswalks at the east and west side of the intersection of California Avenue and Norton Avenue. Also, the crosswalk at the south side of the intersection which is shown in the map but is not needed and does not exist. 4. Staff also recommends that as a part of the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) Elementary School Traffic Safety Education Program grant, the City and school officials set up and implement an educational program for the school children and their parents. 5. Staff recommends that the Sheriff's Department conduct a selective enforcement program for speeding vehicles and jaywalkers. • 4 • 6. Staff has observed that in the afternoon the majority of parents picking up the children in their vehicles, drive into the parking lot on California Avenue and will exit the campus either at California Avenue or Norton Avenue. School officials should consider also opening the gates in the morning hours to allow the parents to access the parking lot to drop off their children inside the campus. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Traffic and Parking Commission support a request for adult crossing guard in front of Saint Emydius Elementary school on California Avenue and implement the additional listed improvements as recommended by staff.

When the LUSD determines the use of a school crossing guard would be des - ireable, along the safest route -to school. and -when it believes the criteria for school crossing -guard plaeement set -forth in this policy are being met, -it shall -cause the Gity- Engineer to -be so notified. The City Engineer will, based -upon such notice from the LUSD, conduct a traffic engineering study to determine if the criteria set forth in this policy is met and then the City Engineer shall apply this policy accordingly. Adult crossing guards normally are assigned where official supervision of elementary school children is desirable while they cross a public street or highway, and at least 20 elementary school age pedestrians per hour for each of two hours utilize the crossing on the way to or from school. 1,henever the critical approach speed exceeds 40 miles per hour, the warrants for rural conditions should be applied. Adult crossing guard protection shall be warranted under the following conditions: A. UNCONTROLLED CROSSINGS ON THE SUI ROUTE TO SCHOOL: • 1. Where there is no controlled feet of the location where a crossing guard is made. For A controlled intersection is -1- ;GESTED SAFEST Intersection within 600 request for an adult the purpose of this warrant, defined as: 12 The recommended policy for the assignment of adult crossing guards as herein specified applies only to school crossings serving elementary school children. This measure is a supple— mental technique and not a traffic control device as defined in the California Vehicle Code. An adult crossing guard should be considered as an appropriate • traffic control measure at a school crossing when: 1. Special problems exist whereby it is deemed necessary to assist the children across a street, such as at an unusually complicated intersection or at a controlled intersection where there are heavy vehicular turning movements and high vehicular speed. 2. A change in the school crossing is imminent but present conditions require school crossing supervision for a limited time and it is not feasible to install another form of control for this temporary period. 3. The warrants for the installation of a traffic signal are not met. IL WARRANTS FOR ASSIGNING ADULT CROSSING GUAR Adult crossing guards normally are assigned where official supervision of elementary school children is desirable while they cross a public street or highway, and at least 20 elementary school age pedestrians per hour for each of two hours utilize the crossing on the way to or from school. 1,henever the critical approach speed exceeds 40 miles per hour, the warrants for rural conditions should be applied. Adult crossing guard protection shall be warranted under the following conditions: A. UNCONTROLLED CROSSINGS ON THE SUI ROUTE TO SCHOOL: • 1. Where there is no controlled feet of the location where a crossing guard is made. For A controlled intersection is -1- ;GESTED SAFEST Intersection within 600 request for an adult the purpose of this warrant, defined as: 12 • • 0 (Cont'd f• II) • (a) -.- - controlled by either traffic signals or stop signs on the street across which adult crossing guards will be used. (b) An intersection where a pedestrian tunnel, bridge or other adequate protection exist. 2. Under urban conditions where the vehicular traffic volume exceeds 350 during each of Fny two hours during which 20 or more school children normally cross while traveling to or from school. (b) Under rural conditions where the vehicular traffic volume exceeds 300 during each of any two hours during which 30 or more school children normally cross while traveling to or from school. B. STOP SIGN CONTROLLED CROSSINGS Where the vehicular traffic volume on undivided roadways of four or more lanes exceeds 500 per hour during any period when the children are normally going to or from school. C. SIGNAL - CONTROLLED CROSSINGS 1. Where the number of vehicular turning movements through the crosswalk where children must cross exceeds 2-, - , 1.. --- ' - Te ^_•'' to or from school. 2. Where there are extenuating circumstances not normally experienced at a signalized intersection such as crosswalks more than 80 feet long with no median refuge area, or an abnormally high percentage of commercial vehicles with operating characteristics substantially different from ' those of the passenger vehicle. 12 -2- .. -q L RESOLUTION NO. 79 -106 • A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD ADOPTING A SCHOOL CROSSING GUARDS POLICY FOR THE CITY OF LYNWOOD WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Lynwood recognizes the desireability for school crossing guards at certain locations and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Lynwood recognizes the desireability to establish a policy by which school crossing guard locations can be ascertained on a standard basis NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED APPROVED, AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Lynwood that SECTION 1: The "School Crossing Guard Policy for the City of Lynwood " attached hereto and made a part by this reference as exhibit "A" shall constitute the policy of the City of Lynwood.

PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED this 18th day Of Dpremhpr . 1979. E.L. AI lfayor City of Lynwood ENE COFFE C t C rk • City of Lynwood .. DATE: March 25, 1993 TO: THE HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD TRAFFIC AND PARKING COMMISSION FROM: Emilio M. Murga, Director of Public Works / ` p` John Oskoui, Assistant Director of Public Works/ -�(� v SUBJECT: PARKING STUDY AGNES AVENUE FROM ATLANTIC AVENUE TO MURIEL DRIVE E • PURPOSE: Staff recommends that the Traffic and Parking Commission review parking conditions along Agnes Avenue from Atlantic Avenue to Muriel Drive and select one of the options as recommended by staff. BACKGROUND: Staff has received a request from Councilman Heine to review the on- street parking conditions along Agnes Avenue from Atlantic Avenue to Muriel Drive and evaluate the feasibility of providing angle parking on both sides of the street to increase the number of available on- street parking. Staff has conducted a parking study that included a resident survey (see attached). Staff has also concluded a preliminary inspection of the properties along both sides of Agnes Avenue and found that the majority (see attached) of garages have either been converted or are being used for other purposes other than parking cars. Agnes Avenue is a collector street and from Atlantic Avenue to Muriel Drive has the following characteristics: Right -of -Way Widths: 80 feet Curb to curb: 60 feet Average daily traffic: 5,000 - 6,000 vehicles per day (estimated) Parking restrictions: Street Sweeping: North side: Thursdays, 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. South side: Fridays, 4 a.m. to 6 a.m. ANALYSIS: Generally, parking at an angle to the curb provides more parking per unit of curb length than does parallel parking. In the particular case of Agnes Avenue, staff's analysis (see attached) shows that presently, there are 115 spaces available for parallel parking on both sides of the street. By providing angle parking at 60 degrees, this number will increase by 10 spaces. 1 0 • Results of Resident Survey residents were in agreement problems and were in favor showed that the majority of the that they have on- street parking of angle parking. Several studies have found angle parking to be more hazardous than parallel.* Studies have shown that a 45 degree angle parking along both sides of an 80 feet wide street will affect the entire street width. The angle parked vehicles occupy nearly 15 feet of space and their back -out operation direction affects an additional 12 to 15 feet. This can cause rear -end accidents between through traffic and cars maneuvering out of a parking space. The principal hazard in angle parking is lack of adecuate visibility for the driver during the back -out maneuver. Additional hazards result from the drivers who stop suddenly upon seeing a vehicle ahead in the process of backing out. In addition, the successful operation of angle parking arrangement will require an extensive parking enforcement. Presently, there are only two City parking officers -o cover the entire City. The parking enforcement program does not include weekends when the angle parking would be utilized ex=ensively. Staff has identified the following options to address the parking concerns on Agnes Avenue: • 1. Maintain the existing arrangement of on- street parallel parking, and through an education/ enforcement program, encourage the residents /owners to utilize their Garages. 2. Change street sweeping hours to mid -day hours, as a part of Citywide change of street sweeping hours. A City wide study looking into the possibility of switching street sweeping hours from early morning to late morninc will be completed in the future. 3. Install 60 degree angle parking (see attached plan). In order to implement this option, approximately 300 feet of curb and gutter (presently there is no curb and cutter) at an approximate cost of $500 need to be installed. in addition, restriping of the roadway will cost approximately $2,000. The striping would need to be maintained every two years for an approximate cost of $1,200. Staff recommends implementation of option one. Angle parking arrangement will probably increase the number of accidents and will only add a limited number of on- street parking space at a reasonably high cost. • * Refer to Traffic Engineering Handbook, 4 th. Edition, page 231 2 REC OMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Traffic and Parking Commission review parking conditions along Agnes Avenue from Atlantic Avenue to Muriel Drive and select one of the options as recommended by staff. • T07 -260 • City o f LYNWOOD r4 019 '1Aeeting CAnPPe09os 11330 BULLIS ROAD LYNWOOD, CALIFORNIA 90262 (310) 603 -0220 RESIDENT SURVEY PARKING CONDITIONS ON AGNES AVENUE (between Muriel Drive and Atlantic Avenue) CLOW This survey is being conducted to gather the oni ^ion of area residents in response to complaints of lack of street parking during street sweeping hours.

Since candidate Bill Clinton promised to increase federal spending for public works as a way to stimulate the economy, that question has sent agency administrators and interest groups scurrying to compile lists of long - delayed projects that need funding. But the here - today, maybe -gone- tomorrow prospects-for a large influx of federal fonds should prompt an effort of a slightly different sort. Rather than finding projects to match whatever funds Congress finally authorizes, local leaders should in- stead seek consensus on regional needs first and then look for funding — from available federal as well as state, local and private sources. One clear and pressing need is major improve- ment in the movement of goods to and from local ports along the Alameda Corridor. The Alameda Corridor is the major rail route that links downtown Los Angeles with the harbor area, so named because it runs roughly .parallel to Alameda Street. The Alameda Corridor is an indispensable link in the movement of goods and services in and out of California. While the adjacent ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach'liandle more containers than any other port in the United States —and with 21st - Century efficiency —the pace on land slows considerably The cargo transit system along the Alameda Corridor, is needlessly inefficient and slow .:;r- About. half of the 2.2 million containers transferred onto or off a ship at the two ports in 1991 left or returned by rail. Most of those containers are transferred between ships and rail cars by truck. One of the rail lines operates out of a terminal four miles from the harbor; the other two rail terminals are near downtown, more than 20 miles from the harbor Most of the existing routes are not grade -sep- arated, meaning that mile -long freight trains must stop frequently as they move slowly through congested urban and industrial neigh - borhoods, reaching a top speed of 20 m.p.h. but often crawling along at 10 m.p.h., until they arrive at transfer depots for interstate truck and train lines. Many of the remaining containers move to and from the port by truck along the Long Beach and Harbor freeways, already heavily congested with other commercial traffic and with commuters. Together the two ports already generate 19,000 truck trips and 25 train movements per day By the year 2020, truck traffic is projected to increase to a mind - boggling 49,000 daily trips and 90 daily train movements. This traffic contributes enormously to region- al freeway congestion and, unless alleviated, could easily undermine the competitive advan- tage our fair - weather ports have over Seattle and Oakland. That's why the Alame- INVESTING IN da Corridor Transporta- CALIFORNIA tion Authority (ACTA), An which includes represen- infrastructure tatives from local govern - strategy ments along the route, last month wisely approved long- discussed plans to consolidate much of the rail traffic from the three existing lines onto a single rail corridor between the ports and central terminal facilities near the Vernon area in Los Angeles. Much of the proposed 20 -mile -long track will be submerged in a trench below street level. Grade separation, with bridges for cars, will alleviate much of the street congestion caused by the existing rail lines and permit non -stop travel to and from the ports. Two big hurdles remain before construction can begin. First, the three railroads that use existing corridor lines —Santa Fe, Southern Pacific and Union Pacific —must reach agree- ment with port officials on sale of their right of way In these negotiations the railroads, known to drive a hard bargain, should remember that it is in their best long -term interests to agree to a reasonable price for the right of way The second hurdle is financing. ACTA esti- mates that the project will cost close to $1.8 billion, excluding purchase of the right -of -way property The authority expects to use a combination of federal, state, county, port and private funds. The federal government may cover about half of the total cost some of those funds may come from President Clinton's proposed "investment plan." Improvement of the Alameda Corridor rail line is a pressing regional priority Los Ar%5elesTrA e s ttonor Tharp Sri qqS 0 Flywheel Tdea Ge ■ Technology: Honeywell and a small Washington firm set out to develop an. alternative to conventional batteries to power electric cars. - ByRUDY ABRAMSON TIAi ES STAFF WRITER ' WASHINGTON— Banking on Space Age technolo- gy to make an old engineering concept practical, a small Bellevue, Wash., company and Honeywell Corp. -have set out to develop a flywheel system as an alternative to chemical storage batteries to power electric cars. ` Officials of American Flywheel Systems, which fiblds a patent on a flywheel system for generating ''electricity, said that their joint venture with Honey- _ well should lead to a prototype within a year and - vehicle tests 12 to 14 months thereafter. ,. Long involved in the U.S. space program, Honey - . well has designed and produced spinning flywheels hat have stabilized orbiting satellites for years. +f The idea of using such technology to provide electricity for automobiles goes back more than two - :decades. Early tests in Europe showed the notion to be 4 impractical, and critics over the years have maintained that the future of - the idea lies in possible hybrid vehicles, where the flywheel would be used in • combination with chemical storage batteries. I But in announcing the joint venture with Honeywell Tuesday, American Flywheel Systems Chairman Ed- ward Furia said that new, lightweight, composite materials and magnetic bearings will make it possible to design a system that will be more efficient than - u'=ylhehtical batteries. 1 ':Itontafned in a vacuum housing, an assembly of nine -inch flywheels weighing 600 pounds could drive ec h' .,. • B ack on Track a car up to 400 miles between rechargmgs, he said. Electricity from an outside source would be used to spin the flywheels up to about 200.000 revolutions per minute. Operating on frictionless bearings within a square -foot vacuum housing, they would drive a small vehicle about the same distance a tank of gasoline now carries a conventional passenger car Furia, a former official of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, predicted that a small flywheel - powered car would outperform the battery - powered Impact now planned by General Motors. If Honeywell Is successful in producing a powerful compact flywheel system, Furia said he would hope to demonstrate "sporty, perhaps dazzling acceleration" to show critics that "it is not a glorified golf cart." Four decades ago, buses in Switzerland were powered by huge steel flywheels, but they never achieved wide acceptance because they had to be recharged at frequent stops. Aside from making it possible to build smaller, lighter, more efficient systems, officials of American Flywheel Systems said that new composite materials are safer. Debris from the breakup of a wheel could be contained within the system's housing rather than producing dangerous shrapnel, as might be the case with a steel wheel. A flywheel system, participants in the project contend, would also be environmentally preferable to a conventional storage battery system. Promoters of the project include Elliot L. Richard- son, the former attorney general and secretary of defense; James R. Schlesinger, the former defense secretary and energy secretary, and Michael Deland, who served as chairman of the Council of Environ- mental Quality in the Bush Administration. Although dreamed of for decades, the quest for a practical electric car has gained unprecedented impe- tus because of California's requirements for non -pol- luting vehicles in its war against smog. • L oy Rn�e,les�T'l mss 11'1 rc �lo� {q°i3 ' Plea 'ie VRF W, IT' Toug er, ul s for Teen,;; Age .". . n Drivers Sou fit By ROBERT W STEArART' TIMES STAFF WRITER -,' WASHINGT9N— States " ihduld restrict 'night 8 VIng by teen- agers and toughen alcohol laws to reverse the growing Incidence of traffic accidents involving young drivers, the federal agency respon- aible for promoting highway safety said Tuesday.
