ENG ESTABLISH A PRIMA FACIE SPEED LIMIT UPON EAGLE DRIVE DEPT. HEAD "j^y^T CITY ATTY. (@&r CITYMGR. }u RECOMMENDED ACTION: Introduce Ordinance No.CS-006 to establish a prima facie 35 mile per hour speed limit upon Eagle Drive from Palomar Airport Road to its intersection with Lionshead Avenue. ITEM EXPLANATION: Eagle Drive is a low volume, industrial street located in the Palomar Forum industrial park northerly of Palomar Airport Road. It has one traffic lane in each direction and is constructed to city standards with curb and gutter, sidewalks, and street lights. The road is 0.27 miles long and is not classified on the Circulation Element of the General Plan. Eagle Drive has an industrial street curb to curb width of 52 feet with bicycle lanes provided on each side of the road. Parking is not allowed on either side of Eagle Drive. At their meeting on March 3, 2008, the Traffic Safety Commission considered the results of the Engineering and Traffic Survey to establish a prima facie speed limit upon Eagle Drive. The Commission recommended, by a 4-0 vote, that a 35 mile per hour prima facie speed limit be established upon Eagle Drive from Palomar Airport Road to Lionshead Avenue. The current version of the Engineering and Traffic Survey for Eagle Drive is on file in the office of the City Traffic Engineer. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: The installation of an official traffic control device is a project that is a Class 1 categorical exemption (minor alteration of existing structure or facility) and is, therefore, exempt from the environmental review process under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Section 15301(c). FISCAL IMPACT: Installing two speed limit signs upon Eagle Drive will cost about $250. Sufficient funds are available in the Public Works Street Department budget. EXHIBITS: 1. Location Map. 2.
