REGULAR MEETING
OF THE TRAFFIC COMMITTEE
CITY OF WEST COVINA

Date:		Tuesday, December 18, 2007
Time:		3:00 p.m.
Place:		City Hall, Room 314 Management Resource Center

AGENDA
I. REQUEST:

Catalina Cirino, West Covina Resident

THAT CURVES ALONG HERITAGE DRIVE BETWEEN SOUTH EASTHILLS DRIVE AND EAST HILLSIDE DRIVE BE REVIEWED.

SUMMARY:

The primary concern of the requester is vehicle off tracking on the opposing lane travel when maneuvering through the horizontal curves. Staff is recommending installing advisory speed limit signs and advisory curve signs before approaching the curve from the eastbound and the westbound. Also, install reflective and non-reflective raised markers along the existing double yellow lines from the beginning of the curve radius to the end of the curve radius.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

THAT ADVISORY SPEED LIMIT SIGNS (W13-1) BE INSTALLED ALONG WITH ADVISORY CURVE SIGNS (W1-2) ON THE EASTBOUND AND WESTBOUND BEFORE APPROACHING THE CURVE AT HERITAGE DRIVE. INSTALL REFLECTIVE AND NON-REFLECTIVE RAISED MARKS (DETAIL 23) ALONG THE CENTERLINE AT THE CURVES.

II. REQUEST:

Karin Valore, West Covina Resident

THAT TRAFFIC CONDITIONS BE REVIEWED AT STUART AVENUE AND TURNER AVENUE.

SUMMARY:

The primary concern of the resident is the speed of vehicles that travel westbound on Stuart Avenue approaching through the "S" shaped curve and using the parking lane to complete the movement. When vehicles are parked along the curve, the line of sight for the westbound vehicles is obstructed from seeing the vehicles entering from the driveway.

STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:

THAT A W1-4R, ADVANCE WARNING FOR REVERSE CURVE, BE INSTALLED ON STUART AVENUE EAST OF TURNER AVENUE.

THAT RIGHT EDGE STRIPING BE INSTALLED ON WESTBOUND STUART AVENUE.

THAT CURB ALONG THE CURVE BE PAINTED RED ADJACENT TO 241 TURNER AVENUE AND 1413 STUART AVENUE.

III. REQUEST:

Cy Koch, West Covina Resident
Dennis McConaughey, West Covina Resident

THAT A MULTI-WAY STOP BE INSTALLED AT THE INTERSECTIONS OF CITRUS STREET AND MONTEZUMA WAY AND CITRUS STREET AND SPRING MEADOW DRIVE.

SUMMARY:

The primary concerns of the residents are vehicles traveling along Citrus Street have a restricted line of sight to vehicles entering from Montezuma Way and Spring Meadow and vehicles traveling at excessive speeds. Staff determined the line of sight at both intersections was not restricted and conducted a Traffic and Engineering study to determine a safe speed limit.

STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:

THAT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISION OF THE MANUAL OF UNIFORM TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES, THE FOLLOWING SPEED SHALL BE ESTABLISHED BY ORDINANCE ALONG CITRUS STREET:

FROM VINE AVENUE TO HILLSIDE DRIVE 40 MPH

THAT SPEED LIMIT SIGNS WITH RADAR ENFORCED PLATES BE INSTALLED ON CITRUS STREET BETWEEN VINE AVENUE AND HILLSIDE DRIVE.

THAT WATCH DOWN HILL SPEED SIGNS BE INSTALLED ON NORTHBOUND CITRUS STREET.
