Description) Signing & Striping /Material Finance: "lL Council Notes: Previously Ordinance MC- Agenda Item N( �� CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT Speed limits on City streets are either 25 m.p.h. prima facie, or as established pursuant to an engineering study. Any street that does not meet the criteria for the 25 m.p.h. prima facie speed, or for which a speed limit has been established, will be covered by the maximum of 55 m.p.h. The maximum limit was recently raised from 55 m.p.h. to 65 m.p.h. for State highways. This increase will apply to city streets as of 1-1-97 , except for two-lane streets. Engineering studies have been performed on streets that will be affected by the increase in the maximum speed limit. These studies measure the speed of 100 vehicles, and determine the critical speed at several locations. The critical speed is defined as the one at which 85% of the vehicles are traveling under. Below are summaries of the studies done for six streets, and our recommendations: 1 . Base Line Street, between Meridian and California Street - Average Critical Speed = 58 m.p.h. Based on the critical speed, we recommend that the existing 55 mile per hour_ speed limit be retained. However, under the new law, the 55 mile per hour speed limit needs to be adopted and posted in order to be enforceable. 2 . Kendall Drive between Palm Avenue and Revere Avenue - Average Critical Speed = 59 . 5 m.p.h. Although the critical speeds point to a 55 or 60 mile per hour speed limit, the residential nature (including a new tract of homes off of Pine Avenue) justifies a lower speed limit in this area. Additionally, a 50 m.p.h. speed limit is consistent with the adjacent area of Kendall Drive, between 40th Street and Revere Avenue, that is currently posted with a 50 m.p.h. speed limit. We recommend that a speed limit of 50 m.p.h. be established. 3 . Little Mountain Drive between Marshall Boulevard and Northpark Boulevard - Average Critical Speed = 51 . 2 m.p.h. Critical speeds suggest a 50 m.p.h. speed limit, however, due to the school located near Little Mountain Drive and the residential nature of the street between 48th Street and Northpark Boulevard, we recommend a 45 m.p.h. speed limit. This speed limit is consistent with the rest of Little Mountain Drive, between 27th Street and Marshall Boulevard, that is already posted at 45 m.p.h. 11-06-96 75-0264 CITY,OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT Page 2 of 2 4 . Hunts Lane between Barton Road and Commercial Road - Average Critical Speed = 48 . 4 m.p.h. We recommend a 45 m.p.h. speed limit in this area. This speed limit is consistent with the critical speeds. The City of Colton has to concur with our recommendation since the west side of Hunts Lane is within their jurisdiction. Initial contact with Colton City Staff suggests that they will concur with this recommendation. 5 . Tippecanoe Avenue between Mill Street and 3rd Street - Average Critical Speed = 50 m.p.h. We recommend a 45 m.p.h. speed limit within this area. This is consistent with the critical speeds and with the rest of Tippecanoe Avenue, between the I-10 Freeway and Mill Street, which is already posted with a 45 m.p. h. speed limit. 6 . San Bernardino Avenue between Tippecanoe Avenue and Mt. View Avenue - Average Critical Speed = 50 . 6 m.p.h. Critical speed suggests a 50 mile per hour speed limit. However, the area between Richardson Street and Mt. View Avenue is entirely residential , with many driveways, both commercial and residential. We, therefore, recommend a 45 m.p.h. speed limit. Failure to adopt a speed limit in any of the above referenced streets will result in an automatic increase of the maximum speed limit from 55 m.p.h. to 65 m.p.h. as of 1-1-97 . We, therefore, recommend that the above listed speed zones be established. 11-06-96 75-0264 TIPPECANOE AVE-MILL ST TO 3RD ST PROPOSED 45 MPH SPEED LIMIT I I j I i 1 ......... ——- ----------- 1 .:, — --�� ; . i ._._ c I lis7 .r^1.2ND Sr T - _ Z 2ND IT --- �_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_- - ��St u AAT iUWNSENU DR � �I _ MALTO —J F 57 �-- < --------- 11_—_—_ /ter- —_ _—_— —_T_�--.T Ca I_til AV � � R1AL7G ASP_ ml I I 'tM-3 r LE I IJ -�_rLE.RP�6EJi4--: �r I� FAN f AMA.�T/�tf�T€FPR15F��rR�--_—_J.a`�.
