CITY OF COLTON <br />AGENDA REPORT <br />For Council Meeting of November 18. 1997 <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />APPROVAL: Len Wood, Interim City Manager�;o <br />FROM: John C. Hutton, Public Works Director <br />SUBJECT (FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY) <br />Response From Consulting Engineer Regarding <br />Establishing Speed Limits On Washington Street <br />and Hunts Lane <br />DATE: November 6, 1997 <br />BACKGROUND: <br />An engineering study has been prepared to establish speed limits upon the streets. <br />That study was presented to Council at the meeting of October 21, 1997. At that <br />meeting, concerns were expressed about two of the streets in that study, Washington <br />Street and Hunts Lane. The 'Registered Traffic Engineer who prepared the speed zone <br />study has reviewed these concerns and has submitted a report recommending that the <br />speed limits be set in accordance with that study. <br />DISCUSSION: <br />The Traffic Safety Committee reviewed the engineer's report and concurs with his <br />finding. Reducing a speed limit without proper justification may create a speed trap <br />and any contested speeding citations may be dismissed by the courts. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: <br />None. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />No action is required. <br />JCH/BB/bjw <br />Attachments: Engineer's Response <br />Page _ of _ <br />Item # 2 <br />
