CITY OF LYNWOOD
PUBLIC SAFETY, TRAFFIC AND PARKING
COMMISSION
DATE: 06 -30 -2016
TO: THE HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE
TRAFFIC, PARKING AND PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION
FROM: Raul Godinez II, P.E., Director of Public Works /City Engineer
Elias Saikaly, P.E., Senior Public Works Manager
SUBJECT: CARLIN AVENUE & OLANDA STREET
STREET MODIFICATION & VACATION
BACKGROUND:
Public Works staff received several complaints from residents regarding unsafe driving
behaviors at the intersection of Carlin Avenue and Olanda Street. When vehicles are
traveling eastbound on Olanda Street and attempting to make a left turn to head
Northwest on Carlin Avenue, drivers tend to travel on the upcoming lane on Carlin Avenue
and drive through the middle of the lane of the opposing traffic. Another complaint that
was raised, is that vehicles are driving recklessly (doing "donuts ") at this intersection (see
attached photos).
ANALYSIS:
In response to the resident's request, staff checked this intersection and witnessed some
reckless driving and driving in the opposite direction of traffic onto Carlin Avenue and onto
Olanda Street.
Staff is considered a design concept that will enhance the safety of this intersection. Since
Carlin Avenue is a very wide street, Staff is proposing to add median island on Carlin
Avenue that is 24' wide and a raised median on Olanda Avenue that will force traffic to
make proper left hand turn from Olanda Street to Carlin Avenue westbound. This will
prevent traffic to travel in opposite lanes. The added median islands will prevent reckless
driving at this intersection and make it safer for pedestrians to use the crosswalks.
In this concept, staff will narrow the entrance to the alley South of Carlin Avenue to 20'
and will vacate a portion of the land to the adjacent homes. Carlin Avenue South of
Olanda Street, has been vacated in the past by the City of Compton to a 20' wide alley.
By vacating south of Carlin Avenue, the traffic flow will be a smooth transition into the
alley created by City of Compton.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Traffic, Parking and Public Safety Commission review this
design and concur with staffs approval of the Street Modification and Vacation at the
intersection of Carlin Avenue and Olanda Street.
