Meeting Date 5/17/88
Trial Traffic Regulation
Avenue between Otay Valley
City Manager~1'~/ ~` (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
On June 24, 1987, a Trial Traffic Regulation establishing a speed limit of 25
mph on Nirvana Avenue between Otay Valley Road and Energy Way was implemented
pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.12.030 of the Chula Vista Municipal
Code.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council to affirm the Trial Traffic
Regulation by adopting a resolution affirming the speed limit on Nirvana
Avenue between Otay Valley Road and Energy Way of 25 mph.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The safety Commission at their meeting
of April 14, 1988, voted 7-0 to accept staff's recommendation.
DISCUSSION:
On June 24, 1987, a Trial Traffic Regulation (attached) was established for
Nirvana. The speed limit on Nirvana prior to June 1987 was unposted. A
Traffic and Engineering study, as required by State law, was conducted. The
study showed an 85th percentile speed of 39 mph. However, the design speed is
less than 30 mph. Based on the study, the speed limit was reduced to 25 mph.
Section 10.12.030 of the Administrative Code only allows a Trial Traffic
Regulation to exist for 8 months, at which time either a resolution affirming
the Trial Traffic Regulation must be adopted or the Trial Traffic Regulation
ceases to be effective.
A new speed survey study indicates the 85th percentile speed is now 36 mph.
It is, therefore, staff's recommendation that the 25 mph regulations be made
permanent.
FISCAL IMPACT: $150.
