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.
