<br />Minutes - Page 7 <br />6/17/80 <br /> <br />SOUTH BOULDER <br />CONT'D <br /> <br />Mr. Wurl stated some signs need to be <br />installed, i.e. some pedestrian signs at <br />various intersections. As an interim <br />measure he suggested the speed limit be <br />reduced to 35MPH. A speed study has to <br />be done before a firm recommendation can <br />be made. The study on the signals also <br />needs to be redone. <br /> <br />REDUCTION OF SPEED <br />LIMIT <br /> <br />Couilman Carnival inquried how long the <br />study would take-expressed concern about <br />the previous studies. <br />Mr. Wurl stated will take 2 or 3 weeks <br />but the striping and signing would be <br />done as soon as possible. <br />Councilman Carnival then reco~ended <br />a 25 MPH speed limit be used as an interim <br />solution for pedestrian traffic and easier <br />access from Via Appia to Highway 42. <br />Mr. Wurl repeated that all day studies <br />are needed on South Boulder Road so that <br />they can be matched to the criteria that <br />is established for zones in a 4-lane road. <br /> <br />Councilman Meier disagreed with Council- <br />man Carnival and questioned its viability, <br />since Lafayette and Main Streets are 30 MPH <br />and the 4-lane road would be 25MPH. <br /> <br />Councilman Domenico moved that the speed <br />limit on South Boulder Road be reduced <br />to 25 MPH from Via Appia to Highway 42 <br />until such time as a traffic control <br />light, etc. can be established. Seconded <br />by Councilman Carnival. <br /> <br />Remarks: Attorney Joss suggested that he <br />be instructed by Council to prepare an <br />ordinance for the speed limit in the <br />motion made by Councilman Domenico so that <br />the Uniform Traffic Code can be modified <br />enabling the police officers to enforce it. <br />Without this procedure it was doubtful the <br />speed limit could be enforced. <br />Councilman Domenico moved that the City <br />Attorney be authorized to prepare an <br />ordinance lowering the speed limit on <br />South Boulder Road to 25 MPH from Via <br />Appia to Highway 42 until traffic control <br />
