Ruth Kolta, (626) 823-6886, 6341 Temple City Blvd (9/9/13 call resolved) Resident on Temple City Blvd called reporting that Rosemead Blvd-related utilities work is in front of her driveway, and she needs parking permits. -Was unable to verify whether construction was related to Rosemead Blvd (Transtech staff gone for the day), but gave Ms. Kolta temporary overnight parking permits. Next day verified with Transtech that SCE is performing utilities maintenance on 200 poles citywide; however work is not expected to block resident driveway access in the hours of 2-5 a.m. Adriana, Ark Christian Academy (9/9/13 letter ongoing) Sent letter to City Hall requesting City study traffic conditions in front of Ark Christian Academy. Currently, the new Rosemead Blvd center median does not reach the Callita intersection. As such, northbound drivers are able to turn left into the school's driveway before reaching Callita Street. Adriana would like to meet with the City and have this situation looked into. -Informed Adriana that any design changes will likely occur after constructionas current traffic conditions are not normal and therefore not optimum for studying; and also making changes now may negatively impact the project. Yunus and Mike of Transtech to meet onsite with Adriana 9/9 afternoon. Woody, Metro (9/10/13 email monitoring) Forwarded a customer complaint of bus operator failing to stop for a rider. Metro requests if City might be able to pressure contractor to quicken progress. -Yunus confirms that issue was discussed at 9/9 progress meeting. While corners are currently not serviceable as bus stops, LAE suggests that perhaps the operators pull into the side street intersections of unsignalized streets (I.e., Hermosa, Garibaldi) to allow passenger board/alight. Also, it is expected that some locations may be available again. Metro representative should communicate directly with LAE to arrange space for bus stop. In the meantime, Metro has instructed all bus operators to stop whenever feasible at any time there is a waiting rider, to ensure continued

Will verify with LAE to see if driveways may be available by Thursday, or if an additional notice is necessary to inform residents driveways are expected to open Friday. William Brinkley (9/14 email ongoing) Re: N/B Rosemead at Las Tunas: Wants to know why one northbound lane is taken away on Rosemead; and also why a left turn lane is removed and barriers gone up in replacement of the lanes. -Informed Mr. Brinkley that the traffic restrictions are a temporary, necessary measure to allow construction to proceed, and also in the interest of safety (for the public and construction crew).
