City Clerk (SEAL) -2- 4688 -- .-. 41 AJ'terials which run in a north-south direction are; First Avenue (between Foothill Boulevard and Duarte Ro~d), and Baldwin Avenue (north of Foothill Boulevard). Michillinda Boulevard which is actually outside the westerly city limits has been shown as an arterial. Arterials which run in an east-west direction are; Elkins Avenue, Sierra Madre Avenue, Colorado Boulevard, Santa Clard Street Campus Drive, Live Oak (west of Las Tunas), and Clark Street, (west of G!'andview Avenue (west of Santa Anita) which is actually S.1nI'J Anita outside the northerly city limits has lJeen shown as an Avenue) , arterial. 'Collector streets which run in a north-south direction are; Highland Oaks Drive, Rancho Road (north of Foothill Boulevard), San 'Carlos Road (north of Foothill Boulevard), Mayflower Avenue, Tenth Avenue, Sixth Avenue, Second Avenue, First Avenue (between Duarte Road and Camino Real Avenue), El Monte Avenue, Holly Avenue, Vaquero Road, and Golden West Avenue, Santa Clara'Street (east of Santa Anita Avenue), Collector streets which run in an east-west direction are; Orange Grove Avenue,THugo Reid Drive, Fairview Avenue, Camino Real Avenue, and Longden Avenue. The construction of the Fashion Park shopping center will increase traffic primarily along the major arterials leading to the center, notably Santa Anita Avenue, Huntington Drive and Baldwin Avenue. These streets should be adequate to handle anticipated volumes, Traffic to and from the center using the Foothill Freeway should be encouraged to use the Baldwin Avenue interchange. Baldwin Avenue between Huntington Drive and the Foothill Freeway may require addi- tional improvements or treatment in order to provide for adequate and safe vehicular circulation. Traffic in the West Arcadia commercial area along Baldwin will become more congested as a result of traffic to and from the center from the San Bernardino Freeway. Traffic studies should be m~de after completion of the shopping center to determine the extent and increase of traffic along Hugo Reid Drive as a result of motorists cutting through, At that time an assessment of the problem should be made and appropriate action taken to insure only local use of the streets to preserve the residential character and quality of the area. If Third Avenue is extended through to Santa Clara Street, serious consideration should be given to creating a cul-de-sac approximately 500 feet south of its intersection with Santa Clara Street. This would allow for the Third Avenue right-of-way at Huntington Drive to be converted to commercial use. This would also reduce the number of street openings onto Huntington Drive and would force industrial traffic to utilize the signalized intersections at Second and Fifth Avenues for turns onto Huntington Dri ve.
