MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Yugal K. Lail, City Engineer/ Public Works Director
DATE: March 6, 2009 (CC Meeting of 03/18/09)
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Amending the Fiscal Year 2008/09 Budget to
Fund the Procurement and Installation of a Speed Advisory Sign on
Spring Road
DISCUSSION
Since the opening of Spring Road in February 2008, from Walnut Canyon Road to
Charles Street, many vehicles are speeding on the southbound downhill stretch
between Elk Run Loop and Charles Street. Staff has deployed the City's Portable
Changeable Message Sign (PCMS) which displays a vehicle's speed and flashes a
message to slow down if they are over the 45 mph speed limit. Staff has also observed
that the PCMS is very effective in reminding drivers to slow down and not exceed the
posted speed limit. There have been many requests from the residents of the Charles
Street neighborhood for some measures to decrease the speed at this location.
Staff proposes to install a permanent, pole-mounted, speed advisory sign on Spring
Road which would display vehicle speeds along with a short message. The proposed
sign is manufactured by Fortel Traffic Inc. and. is the same model as the two speed
advisory signs installed on Championship Drive. The proposed sign is solar powered,
radar equipped, and has the capability to flash a warning strobe light as well as display
a variety of messages such as "Speed Limit," "Your Speed," or "Slow Down." The
proposed sign is capable of data acquisition such as number of vehicles, and vehicle
speed.
It is proposed to have Public-Works maintenance staff install the foundation and p ole for
the sign which would be delivered and installed on the pole by Fortel Traffic Inc. The
cost for the sign, delivery and installation, including tax, is $11,400.00.

FISCAL IMPACT

funds in the Los Angeles AOC Fund 2501 for the purchase. City labor, costs of the pole,
and related incidental items will be funded with existing budget appropriations.
