CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO—REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
In Support/Opposition
From: Jim Smith M/CC Meeting Date: 11/05/2012
Prepared by: Tony Lugo, (909) 384-5140
Dept: Public Works Ward(s): 4 & 5
Subject:
Ordinance of the City of San Bernardino Amending Chapter 10.52 of the San Bernardino
Municipal Code to Establish a 40 M.P.H. Speed Limit on Northpark Boulevard Between Campus
Parkway and Electric Avenue. (FIRST READING)
Financial Imuact:
Account Budgeted Amount for FY 12/13: $230,100.00
Account No. 001-400-0026-5111
Account Description: Materials and Supplies
Please note that this balance is the requested amount for FY 2012/13. The Traffic Engineering
budget will be adjusted accordingly, once the FY 2012/13 budget is approved by the Mayor and
Common Council.
Motion: Lay over Ordinance for final adoption.
— Synopsis of Previous Council Action:
02/18/85 Municipal Code 438 was adopted, establishing a 50 m.p.h. speed zone on Northpark
Boulevard between University Parkway and Little Mountain Drive and a 40 m.p.h.
speed zone on Northpark Boulevard between Little Mountain Drive and Electric
Avenue.
Background:
The City received a request from California State University San Bernardino (CSUSB) to lower
the speed limit on Northpark Boulevard in front of the University. The speed limit is currently
posted at 50 m.p.h. in this area of Northpark Boulevard and the University requested that it be
reduced to 40 m.p.h.
The Traffic Engineering Section completed an evaluation of Northpark Boulevard to determine
the appropriate speed limit for this section of Northpark Boulevard. The area of study was
expanded to include the entire length of Northpark Boulevard between Campus Parkway and
Electric Avenue. The following are the existing posted speed limits on Northpark Boulevard in
this area:
• Campus Parkway to University Parkway-No posted speed limit
• University Parkway to Little Mountain Drive- 50 m.p.h.
• Little Mountain Drive to Electric Avenue-40 m.p.h.
State law requires that an engineering and traffic survey be completed(see attached) and that the
speed limit be posted at or near the measured critical (85th percentile) speed. The study found
Updated: 10/29/2012 by Linda Sutherland Packet Pg. 148
2029
that the average of the critical speeds throughout this section of Northpark Boulevard is 42
m.p.h. Staff, therefore, recommends that a 40 m.p.h. speed limit be established on Northpark
Boulevard between Campus Parkway and Electric Avenue.
This action will authorize the installation of signs and markings to reflect a 40 m.p.h. speed limit
along the subject roadway. This is estimated to cost approximately $2,500. This action may
need to be deferred until the City's financial condition improves.

The foregoing data was collected according to the methodology for Engineering and w
Traffic Surveys prescribed in Section 2B.13 of the California Manual on Uniform a
Traffic Control Devices (CMUTCD). Measurements were made by means of a radar
device under conditions designed to determine the actual speed of unimpeded traffic.
Such conditions included, without limitation, the absence of concentrated law
enforcement or other activity just prior to or while taldng the speed measurements
that might alter the speed of traffic; the selection of location(s) is/are representative
of the entire speed zone; the absence of inclement or unusual weather conditions; and
the inconspicuous placement of the surveyor and his/her equipment to enable traffic
to be accurately surveyed in both directions.

RE• Request for Speed Limit Reduction o
m
Y
Dear Chas: `m
CL
s
I'm writing to formally request a speed limit reduction from 50 to 40 miles per hour on c
Northpark Boulevard in front of California State University, San Bernardino. Z
N
For some time I've advocated reducing the speed limit to 40 mph to ensure the safety of our N
studcttis and the campus community. When the City of San Bernardino established the speed >
limit for Northpark many years ago, it couldn't have contemplated the steady growth of our
campus, student housing, and the development of the adjacent University Park residential
comrrianity. With the resulting increase in traffic flow and pedestrians crossing at the Northpark
and University intersection, I believe these changing conditions warrant a review and reversal of o
the posted 50 mph speed limit.
v
With your support,I'm confident that the common council will approve your recommendation to
lower the speed limit to 40 mph. In the meantime, if I can provide any additional information,
data or testimony as to the unsafe vehicle speeds and potential for loss of life on Northpark,
Cr
ry
please contact me.
I look forward to hearing from you. E
