COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: SPEED LIMITS ON OAKWOOD ROAD
BACKGROUND:
Staff recently noted that the speed limit ordinance from State Avenue to a point 151 feet
west of White Oak Drive is 45 miles per hour (mph). However, the street is currently
posted with a speed limit of 40 mph.
Traffic Engineering conducted a speed limit study that indicates the posted speed limit
of 40 mph is appropriate. Therefore, staff recommends passing an ordinance to cover
the posted 40 mph speed limit on the west end of Oakwood Road.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Direct the City Attorney to develop an ordinance to cover the existing posted 40
mph speed limit on Oakwood Road from State Avenue to a point 151 feet west of White
Oak Drive.
2. Do nothing, and by default thereby direct the Public Works Department to install
45 mph speed limit signs on the west end of Oakwood Road to coincide with the
existing legal speed limit.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No.
1 , thereby directing the City Attorney to develop an ordinance to cover the existing
posted 40 mph speed limit on Oakwood Road from State Avenue to a point 151 feet
west of White Oak Drive.
