Civic Issues
Topics getting the most attention in Rosemead public meetings, ranked by how frequently they are discussed.
6 issues in roads with medium priority
Warner Grove speed limit markings not updated
After the city dropped Warner Grove's limit from 40 to 35 mph, the old 40 mph pavement markings were never changed and a speed feedback sign is missing eastbound. A resident flagged it to a commissioner.
Confusing Grand Avenue ramp striping
The ramp near Lower Azusa and Grand Avenue by the preschool isn't striped, so drivers treat two lanes as one-way and two cars end up side by side. Commissioner asked staff to look at restriping.
Traffic signal synchronization
Almost everyone on the dais supported pursuing signal synchronization on Garvey regardless of the bus lane decision, with Councilmember Clark arguing it alone could speed both buses and cars and be a win-win for residents.
Garvey Avenue Bus Lanes
Council Member Clark asked staff to pull the minutes from the earlier joint powers decision on Garvey bus lanes, with the issue expected to return for discussion in September.
Rosemead Blvd. & I-10 Freeway Ramp Improvements
Caltrans' late comments forced two expensive design amendments on the freeway ramp project, though this one is fully grant-funded. Council members want to push the state to fix its slow review process.
SB1 Road Funding for FY 2026-27
The city locks in about $1.43 million in state gas-tax money for road repairs, with San Gabriel Boulevard repaving as the headline project. Council Member Dang pushed to fold stormwater capture into the design so streets aren't torn up twice.
