This Is the City of Montebello Traffic & Safety Meeting (6/29/26)

The City of Montebello Traffic & Safety Commission held a meeting on June 29, 2026, focusing on various traffic safety and infrastructure projects. Key procurement-related discussions included the review and approval of safety enhancements for pedestrian crossings along Whittier Boulevard, with recommendations to install new traffic signals and remove certain high-risk crossings. The commission also reviewed and approved updates to posted speed limits on several roadway segments based on a 2026 engineering and traffic survey. Additionally, the commission reviewed the 30% design of the Olympic Boulevard Complete Streets project, which includes pedestrian and bicycle safety improvements, and discussed potential funding through state and federal grants. Other procurement actions included approval of installation of ADA-compliant blue curb parking spaces at specific residential locations and the installation of solar LED flashing stop signs at a key intersection near schools. The commission voted to deny a request for an all-way stop sign at South Spruce Street and West Los Angeles Avenue due to insufficient traffic volume data but agreed to send a formal letter to the school district requesting consideration for crossing guards. Several motions related to these projects and improvements were passed unanimously, reflecting the commission's commitment to enhancing traffic safety and infrastructure in Montebello.
