TO: The Honorable City Council ^
FROM: Kenneth C. Gilbert, Director of Public Works -
DATE: October 7, 1996 (Council Meeting 10- 16 -96)
SUBJECT: Discussion of Possible Reduced Speed Zone on State Route
23 Near the Playground at the Civic Center (799 Moorpark
Avenue)
1. In October 1994, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 94 --1071
establishing Reduced Speed Zones adjacent to every City Park
fronting a street with a Speed Limit higher than 25 MPH.
2. The authority for the establishment of such "Park Reduced Speed
Zones" is Section 22357.1 of the California Vehicle Code (CVC).
2. The street segments where "Park Reduced Speed Zones" were
established by Resolution No. 94 -1071 are listed as follows:
• Hearon Drive at Campus Canyon School
• Collins Drive at Campus Canyon School
• Campus Park Drive at Griffin Park
• Spring Road at Monte Vista Park
• Peach Hill Road at Peach Hill Park
• Tierra Rejada Road at Glenwood Park
• Tierra Rejada Road at Tierra Rejada Park
• Mountain Trail Street at Tierra Rejada Park
• Mountain Trail Street at Mountain Meadow Park
• Mountain Meadow Drive at Mountain Meadow Park
• Walnut Creek Drive at Mountain Meadow Park
3. It is the intent of staff to present a Resolution to the City
Council in the near future adding to the above list, the
following additional street segments:
• Mountain Trail Street at Country Trail Park
• Poindexter Avenue at Poindexter Park
4. Resolution No. 94 -1071 also directed the installation of a "Park
Reduced Speed Zone" on Moorpark Avenue near the "Playground" at
the Moorpark Civic Center. In that this street segment is on
State Route 23, the Resolution stated that this action was
subject to Caltrans approval. It should be noted that CVC
22357.1 pertaining to the establishment of such reduced speed
zones by a local agency, excludes state highways.

5. Based on the above action, staff submitted an Encroachment
Permit Application to Caltrans to seek authorization for the
City to place the Park Reduced Speed Zone signs on Moorpark
Avenue. The application was denied. The response was that
Caltrans does not place ( nor allows to be placed) on a State
Highway, such "Park Reduced Speed Zones."
It has been requested that this matter be revisited. The purpose
of this report is to provide the City Council with background
information.
Receive and file report.
