TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Kenneth C. Gilbert, Director of Public Works
DATE: October 15, 1992 (Council Meeting 10- 21 -92)
SUBJECT: Consider a Resolution Establishing Speed Limits for
the Streets in Tracts 4340, 4341 and 4342 (West
Village)
BACKGROUND
In July of 1990 the City Council adopted Resolution No.
90 -701 establishing prima facie speed limits on arterial and
collector streets throughout the City. In that the portion
of Mountain Trail Street between Tierra Rejada Road and
Mountain Meadow Drive is within the South Village area, the
above action included the designation of a 35 MPH speed limit
for this segment of the street.
The streets in Tracts 4340, 4341 & 4342 (West Village) were
not yet open to the public when the above action was taken.
Although these streets have not yet been accepted by the
City, they are used by the general public. One of the major
traffic generators in the area is Arroyo West Elementary
School. In order to provide for the public health and
safety, Resolution No. 91 -801 was adopted in October 1991,
making the California Vehicle Code applicable to those
streets.
DISCUSSION
In order to better provide for the public health and safety,
it is recommended that speed limits be established on the
collector streets in West Village. The attached map
indicates the speed limits being recommended. These speed
limits are comparable to speed limits established for streets
in the area of a similar nature.
It is the intent of staff to have a Speed Survey prepared to
both verify these limits and to facilitate radar enforcement
of same.
