2. Previous Items Recap
a. Intersection Review for the Signalized Intersection of Cameron Avenue and Orange Avenue:
i. The City received a request from West Covina Medical Center to review existing conditions at the
intersection of Cameron Avenue and Orange Avenue. It was unanimously recommended to install and
stripe a left turn only lane and signage. By striping a left turn only lane, the vehicles waiting to make
a left turn are removed from through traffic. The left turn only lane will also provide space to safely
decelerate away from through traffic improving intersection safety.
b. Line of Sight Review for the Intersection of Garvey Avenue and Baymar Avenue
L The City received a resident request to review the existing line of sight at the intersection of Garvey
Avenue and Baymar Avenue due to reported vehicles parking in the curb return of the northeast
corner of the intersection and blocking the view of oncoming traffic. Per the CVC 21970 vehicles are
not allowed to park within the curb return, however in this case, since there are reported vehicles
consistently parking at the curb return, red curb will be recommended to reinforce no parking in that
area. It was unanimously recommended to paint the curb return red of the northeast corner of the
Garvey Avenue and Baymar Avenue intersection which will be approximately 32-feet of red curb to
prohibit parking at the northeast corner of the intersection; and, to repaint existing the "2019"
address number after the red curb has been installed.
