BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Vine Street, between Beckman Road and Guild Avenue, is located in an industrial area. Currently, there is no established speed limit for this roadway section nor are there any speed limit signs. The Police Department has been receiving complaints of speeding along this corridor and requested Public Works to assess the speed limit for enforcement. Staff conducted an Engineering and Traffic Survey (ETS) and based on State of California guidelines and the ETS findings, staff recommends establishing a 35-mile-per-hour speed limit on Vine Street, from Beckman Road to Guild Avenue. The ETS includes three primary factors when establishing posted speed limits which are 1) prevailing speeds (85th percentile speeds), 2) accident rates, and 3) unexpected conditions. Other characteristics, such as residential density, pedestrian and bicycle safety, and roadway design speed, are also considered. The recommended, posted speed limit based on the ETS findings is 35-miles-per-hour when considering prevailing speeds, accident rate, and specific characteristics of this road segment, as shown in the Vine Street ETS (Exhibit A). The Police Department has reviewed and concurs with staff's recommendations. Staff recommends amending Traffic Resolution No. 97-148, by approving 35 miles-per-hour speed limit on Vine Street, from Beckman Road to Guild Avenue.
