Commission approves 3-foot red curb at 6037 Gage Avenue to improve sightlines
Summary
The Bell Gardens Traffic and Safety Commission voted to forward a staff recommendation to city council to install a 3-foot red curb on the north side of the driveway at 6037 Gage Avenue to improve sight distance for motorists exiting the driveway; staff estimated installation at about $250.
The Traffic and Safety Commission on Monday voted to forward to city council a staff recommendation to install 3 feet of red curb parking restriction on the north side of the driveway fronting 6037 Gage Avenue to improve sight-distance conditions.
City Engineer Doug Benash summarized the request from the resident at 6037 Gage Avenue, saying parked vehicles near the driveway limit sight lines for drivers exiting onto Gage Avenue. “The request for the installation of 3 feet of red curb parking restrictions on the north side of the driveway fronting 6037 Gage Avenue to improve sight distance conditions,” Benash said. He estimated the installation cost at about $250.
Commissioner Elke Lopez asked whether the three feet would start at the driveway edge or at the point where the curb returns to normal height; Benash said the 3-foot restriction starts at the top of curb — the area where curb height is normal — and noted aerial photos may not show that precisely.
Commissioner Elke Lopez moved to approve staff’s recommendation; Commissioner Gustavo Mendez seconded the motion. The commission approved the item by roll-call and will forward the recommendation to the City Council for final action.
