CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
Subiect:
Ordinance authorizing the establishment of a 50 m.p.h. speed limit on Alabama Street between
3rd Street and the southern City Limits.
Background:
The City of Highland recently completed a study to establish a speed zone on Palm
Avenue/Alabama Street between Base Line Street and the southern Highland City limits. The
City of San Bernardino shares jurisdiction with the City of Highland over Alabama Street
between 3rd Street and approximately '/2 mile south of 3rd Street. Consequently they have asked
for our concurrence to establish a speed zone within this section of Alabama Street.
The City of Highland's study found that the speed limit within this section of Alabama Street
should be posted at 50 miles per hour. Engineering staff concurs with the findings and
recommendations of the study conducted by the City of Highland and; therefore, recommends
that a 50 miles per hour speed limit be established on Alabama Street between 3rd Street and the
southern City limits located approximately %2 mile south of 3rd Street.
Financial Impact:
The estimated cost of $ 300.00 for installing a new speed limit sign and pavement marking will
come from the Street Maintenance (Account No. 001-400-5111-0000-0093).
Account: 001-400-5111-0000-0093 Budgeted Amount: $ 255,000
Balance as of 10/25/10: $ 60,503 Balance after the approval of this item: $ 60,203
Please note this balance does not indicate available funding. It does not include non-
encumbered reoccurring expenses or expenses incurred, but not yet processed.
Recommendation:
Lay the Ordinance over for final approval.
