I. REQUEST:
City of Walnut
THAT THE CITY OF WEST COVINA CONCURS WITH THE CITY OF
WALNUT'S EVALUATION TO REMOVE THE MARKED SCHOOL
CROSSWALK ON LA PUENTE ROAD AT PASEO DEL CABALLO.
FINDINGS:
La Puente Road is a 60-foot wide minor arterial street, consisting of two travel lanes
in each direction. The posted speed limit is 45 miles -per -hour.
City of Walnut has requested that the City of West Covina agree with their
determination to remove the marked school crosswalk at the intersection of La
Puente Road and Paseo del Caballo. Their determination is based on the Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) guidelines for establishing marked
crosswalks. The MUTCD states a marked crosswalk should not be installed
across uncontrolled roadways where the (1) speed limit exceeds 40 miles -per -hour
and (2) the roadway has four or more travel lanes without an additional traffic
control device such as raised medians and flashing beacons. Also, there is a
marked crosswalk located about 400 feet west of the marked crosswalk at the
signalized intersection of La Puente Road and Sentous Avenue.
In order to remove the marked school crosswalk the California Vehicle Code
Section 21950.5 requires that a notice be posted not less than 30-days from the
scheduled removal at the marked crosswalk. The notice must contain that the public
may provide input relating to the removal and the form and method of providing the
input.
TRAFFIC COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
THAT THE CITY OF WEST COVINA CONCURS WITH THE CITY OF
WALNUT'S EVALUATION TO REMOVE THE MARKED SCHOOL
CROSSWALK ON LA PUENTE ROAD AT PASEO DEL CABALLO.
