Date: Au st 24 2004
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: SPEED LIMITS ON STANGE ROAD
BACKGROUND:
Traffic Division staff recently noted that the ordinance for speed limits on Stange Road
were incorrect. The ordinance refers to Somerset Drive; Somerset Drive was later
renamed Kingston Drive. Consequently, the speed limit ordinance needs to be revised
to refer to Kingston Drive instead of Somerset Drive.
Currently, this section of roadway is signed "or a 30 miles per hour (mph) speed limit
south of Kingston Drive and 35 mph speed limit north of Kingston Drive. It is staff's
opinion that the existing 30 and 35 mph speed limits posted on these sections of Stange
Road are appropriate.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Direct the City Attorney to develop an ordinance to revise the speed limit
ordinance for Stange Road to refer to Kingston Drive instead of Somerset Drive.
2. Do nothing.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt alternative
number one, thereby directing the City Attorney to develop an ordinance to revise the
speed limit ordinance for Stange Road to refer to Kingston Drive instead of Somerset
Drive.
COUNCIL ACTION:
