INTRODUCE ORDINANCE TO DECREASE
SPEED UMIT UPON ALICANTE ROAD FROM
POINSETTIA LANE TO GATEWAY ROAD
DEPT. DIRECTOR

CITY MGR.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Introduce Ordinance No. cs-247 to decrease the existing 40 mile per hour speed limit upon Alicante
Road from Poinsettia Lane to Gateway Road to 30 miles per hour.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Based on the Engineering and Traffic Survey dated June 9, 2008, this portion of Alicante Road is currently
posted at 40 miles per hour. Alga Norte Community Park is located on the northwest corner of Alicante
Road and Poinsettia Lane and was opened to the public at the beginning of the year. As part of the
roadway improvements for the park, bike lanes were painted on both sides of Alicante Road from Town
Garden Road to Poinsettia Lane to encourage bicycle travel and narrow vehicle travel lanes. ALL-WAY
STOP control was installed at the two park driveways on Alicante Road.
Due to the changed conditions on Alicante Road, a new speed survey was conducted on January 14,
2014, that resulted in a critical speed determination of 33 miles per hour. Based on the requirements
found in the California Vehicle Code and the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, a
posted speed limit of 30 miles per hour was determined to be appropriate.
At their meeting on March 3, 2014, the Traffic Safety Commission considered the results of the
Engineering and Traffic Survey to revise the speed limit upon Alicante Road from Poinsettia Lane to
Gateway Road. The Traffic Safety Commission recommended, by a 4-0 vote, that the existing 40 mile per
hour speed limit on the subject portion of Alicante Road be reduced to 30 miles per hour.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The replacement of six (6) speed limit signs will cost approximately $1,200. Sufficient funds are available
in the Streets Maintenance budget.
