DATE:
April 14, 2008
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: David Carmany, City Manager
FROM: Vince Mastrosimone, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: ESTABLISHING POSTED SPEED LIMIT SIGNS ON
BEVERLY MANOR ROAD
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The City Council is asked to adopt Resolution No. establishing a 35 mph speed
limit on Beverly Manor Road.
BACKGROUND:
.
In January 2008, Leisure World opened a new entrance on Beverly Manor Road.
The new entrance reduces congestion at the main entrance on Seal Beach
Boulevard and Golden Rain.
Since then, there has been significant additional vehicle traffic, bicycle traffic and
pedestrian activity along Beveriy Manor Road. Several residents and employees
in the nearby area have concerns with the speeding of vehicles.
CurrenUy, Beverly Manor Road does not have a posted speed limit.
The California Vehicle Code Section 40802, requires that speed limits, as set by
local authorities, shall be justified on the basis of engineering and traffic (E & T)
speed surveys if radar is to be used for speed enforcement by the Police
Department.
The City retained Hartzog & Crabll Inc., an engineering firm that regularly
performs E & T surveys for municipalities. Based upon the traffic counts,
accident history, road conditions, neighboring land use and majority of vehicle
speeds, the Engineer recommends a posted speed limit of 35 mph.
Staff has reviewed the Engineer's recommendation and concurs with his findings.
.
FIIIIANCIAL IMPACT:
The cost to perform the survey is $500, The cost of the posts and speed limit
signs is $400. These items will be covered by the regular operating budget.
