Ordinance Amending Chapter 36 <br />of Santa Ana Municipal Code <br />Establishing Speed Limits for City Streets <br />August 1, 2011 <br />Page 2of2 <br />The California Vehicle Code requires that speed limits be set near the 85 percent speed for arterials <br />and collectors. Based upon the results of the Engineering and Traffic Study, no change in the <br />posted speed limits is recommended at 164 of the 177 locations studied (see Exhibit 2). The speed <br />limit is recommended to be increased at 11 locations. Two residential street segments were <br />removed since residential streets have a posted speed limit set at 25 mph per the California Vehicle <br />Code. The study and recommendations have been reviewed and are supported by the Santa Ana <br />Police Department. <br />Once the ordinance is amended, the corresponding changes to the posted speed limits on the <br />effected streets will be modified. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />There is no environmental impact associated with this action. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds for the installation of speed limit signs estimated at $10,000 are available in the Measure <br />M — Street Construction Fund (accounting unit no. 03217660 - 66220, project no. 116738). <br />Raul 6odinez II <br />Executive Director <br />Public Works Agency <br />RG:ZK <br />Exhibit 1: Ordinance <br />Exhibit 2: Engineering & Traffic Study Summary <br />APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: <br />of <br />Francisco Gutierrez <br />Executive Director <br />Finance & Management Services Agency <br />
