April 15,2020MEETING DATE:
PREPARED BY:Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution amending Traffic Resolution No. 97-148, by
approving 40 miles-per-hour speed limit on Harney Lane, from Ham
Lane to Hutchins Street, Hutchlns Street to Stockton Street,
Stockton Street to the East City Limits; and Pine Street, from Guild Avenue to the East City Limits.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Staff recently reviewed Engineering and Traffic Surveys (ETS)on
the following six streets: Elm Street, Harney Lane, Hutchins Street,
Lodi Avenue, Pine Street, and Tokay Street. Based on the
State-mandated requirements, staff is recommending decreasing the existing speed limit from 45 miles
per hour (MPH)to 40 MPH on Harney Lane, from Ham Lane to the East City Limits, and on Pine Street,
from Guild Avenue to the East City Limits. No changes are recommended on the other streets.
The ETS includes three primary factors when establishing posted speed limits: prevailing speeds,
accident rates, and unexpected conditions. Other characteristics, such as residential density, pedestrian
and bicycle safety, and roadway design speed, are also considered.
The Police Department staff concurs with staff's recommendations. As shown in the Harney Lane and
Pine Street ETS (Exhibit A), the recommended posted speed limit is based on the prevailing speeds (Bsth
percentile speeds) and accident rate similar to the Citywide average rate. All the updated ETS are on file
in the Public Works Department.
