Council member Emmanuel Lozano urged the Baldwin Park City Council on Wednesday to install a stop sign on Big Dalton Avenue, saying cars “pick up a lot of speed” between Pacific and Merced and noting existing stop signs on nearby Vineland and Maine.
"I've lived the ballpark all of my 72 years... I'm requesting possibly if it's possible to have a stop sign put in on Big Dalton Avenue," Lozano said during the public communications portion of the council’s special meeting on July 15, 2026.
The mayor and staff responded that the 5:00 p.m. special meeting would address only items on the special-meeting agenda and advised Lozano to raise the request at the regular 7:00 p.m. meeting so the full council and staff could consider it. The mayor told Lozano to provide his address to Director Padilla so staff could follow up.
Earlier in the meeting the city clerk announced they were participating remotely “as a reasonable accommodation pursuant to government code section 54953(c)(2)(A),” a point noted for the record during roll call. The clerk’s remote participation and the absence of Council member Emmanuel Estrada were recorded before the council declared a quorum.
The meeting recessed to closed session and is scheduled to return for the 7:00 p.m. meeting, where council and staff can place the stop-sign request on the appropriate agenda and consider any traffic-safety analysis, neighborhood input and operational constraints.
No formal motion or vote on the stop-sign request occurred during the special meeting; the matter was referred for consideration at the later regular meeting.
