Staff recently met with School District staff to review the
District's proposed design concept to provide additional parking
spaces for students and staff on Campus Drive. The proposed
reconfiguration of Campus Drive includes a travel lane for
eastbound, and a travel lane for westbound traffic, with diagonal
parking on the north and south sides of Campus. The School
District proposal also includes the widening of El Monte Avenue
to two travel lanes in each direction, northbound and southbound.
from Campus Drive to Duarte Road, with traffic signals at each
intersection. Staff has concerns regarding accident potential
due to the proposed diagonal parking and potential negative
impacts of traffic circulation. City staff recommends in a draft
letter to the District, that a qualified traffic engineer
consultant be retained to provide a traffic circulations study.
prior to Council's consideration of the proposed proj ect. at City
expense up to a maximum of $10,000. This if Council should give
approval that such a letter be sent to the School District.
Some discussion centered on the request of the Director of Public
Works for Council's comments or approval of the draft of the
letter to be sent to the School District indicating the concerns
of the Public Works Department and suggestions that a traffic
engineer be retained for a traffic circulation study, for which
staff would recommend that the City would bear the cost. Staff
suggested three alternatives to Council: 1) The City could pay
the entire cost of the traffic study; 2) The City pay 50% and
the School District pay 50%; or, 3) The City not make an offer
at all in the letter to pay for the study, and tell the School
District that Council would like to look at their proposal, but
they will need a traffic engineering study which will cost
$10,000. After considerable discussion. by consensus, Council
requested additional in-house background information from staff
regarding the proposed proj ect. Staff to provide the information
for discussion at a Council work session in two weeks.
