CITY OF COLTON <br />AGENDA REPORT <br />FOR CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 16,199 <br />TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL <br />APPROVAL: LEN WOOD, INTERIM CITY MANAGER <br />FROM: JOHN C. HUTTON, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR 4!�5'�0� <br />SUBJECT: APPROVE AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 10.04, <br />SECTION 16.A OF THE COLTON MUNICIPAL CODE, <br />ADOPTING SPEED LIMITS UPON THE STREETS IN THE <br />CITY OF COLTON <br />DATE: <br />DECEMBER 4, 1997 <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Section 40802 of the State of California Vehicle Code requires the local jurisdiction to <br />adopt an Ordinance setting the speed limits upon streets greater than forty feet in <br />width. Those speeds are to be set at the eighty-fifth percentile speed of the vehicles <br />using that street, as determined by a Traffic and Engineering Study. A survey has <br />been completed and the proposed speed limits have been organized into Ordinance <br />Format. <br />DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: <br />This item was presented to City Council at the meeting of October 7, 1997 for First <br />Reading and again on October 21, 1997 for Second Reading. At that meeting, two of <br />those speed limits were questioned as being too fast. Those two items were returned <br />to the Consulting Engineer for further review. The Engineer has determined, based <br />upon data supplied by the City of San Bernardino Traffic Engineering Division, that the <br />proposed speed limit on Hunts Lane could be reduced to 45 MPH. The Engineer has <br />also determined that the lane widths on Washington Street justify reducing the speed <br />limit to 45 MPH. <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />None. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: <br />None <br />Item # 2 <br />
