TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: David Carmany, City Manager
FROM: Vince Mastrosimone, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: LAMPSON AVENUE TRUCK ROUTE PROHIBITION
FROM SEAL BEACH BLVD TO EAST CITY LIMIT
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 5884 prohibiting gross weight
vehicles over 3 tons on Lampson Avenue from Seal Beach Boulevard to the East
City Limit.
BACKGROUND:
Per the City Municipal Code Section 8.10.120 B., "No person shall operate a
vehicle exceeding a maximum gross weight of 3 tons on any street that is not
part of a truck route designated by city resolution and indicated by appropriate
signs."
Per the City's General Plan, Lampson Avenue is not a designated truck route.
Lampson Avenue is classified as a secondary road with two lanes in each
direction. This is consistent with the Orange County Transportation Authority's
Master Plan of Arterial Highways. There are no future plans of widening or right
of way take. Lampson Avenue is built to its ultimate right of way width.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 5884 prohibiting gross weight
vehicles over 3 tons on Lampson Avenue from Seal Beach Boulevard to the East
City Limit.
