Recommended Action
Approve
Analysis
Traffic Register currently reflects one reduced speed school zone on Meseta from 700 feet west of Camino Lagos Drive to 1,200 feet east of Mirada. Based upon current pedestrian crossing activity, staff recommends amending Schedule III of the Traffic Register by rescinding the existing school zone on Meseta and establishing a new 20 mph reduced speed school zone on Meseta from 50 feet east of Trevino to 50 feet west of Mirada. The new reduced speed school zone is needed to protect students crossing Meseta at Portillo and Mirada.
The new school zones will be active from 7:15am until 9:00 am and from 3:00pm until 4:30pm.
Financial Consideration
The new 20 mph reduced speed school zones will be established using static signs. Funding for the costs associated with these new speed school zones is available in the FY 2014/2015 Proposed General Fund Budget, Signs and Markings Maintenance Budget, account 251910-63115.
