Box 1504 La Quinta, CA 92253 Ken A. Seumalo, Public Works Director City of Indian Wells 44-950 Eldorado Drive Indian Wells, CA 92210 DATE: February 27, 2014 CONTENTS: Table 1 — Existing and Recommended Speed Zones Citywide Exhibit 1 — New and Reduced Speed Zones Exhibit 2 — Roadway with Speed Zone Increases Ordinance Recommendation Concur with the recommendation of staff and the Public Safety Commission and waive further reading and pass Ordinance No. �266 rescinding prior ordinances and establishing speed zones on streets throughout the City to second reading. Ordinance No. 1266 Staff Report Establish Speed Zones Page 2 of 4 February 27, 2014 Commission Recommendation The speed zone recommendations were presented to the Public Safety Commission at their February 13, 2014, meeting. The Commission concurred with the speed limit recommendations on a 3 to 2 vote with 2 commissioners absent. Backqround Section 22358 of the California Vehicle Code allows cities to establish, by ordinance, speed zones on local streets. The speeds established by ordinance must be supported by an Engineering and Traffic Study, and new speed studies must be performed every five to seven years for a speed zone to remain valid. The necessity for the Engineering and Traffic Study is one of enforcement. Without the support of a proper Engineering and Traffic Study, the enforcement agency is placed in the position of being unable to use radar to enforce a posted speed, thus leading to blatant disregard of posted speeds by the motoring public. The report entitled "City of Palm Desert - Speed Zone — Engineering and Traffic Survey" has been completed to satisfy the Engineering and Traffic Study requirements. The report provides detailed analysis of all roadway segments with posted speeds throughout the City and includes some segments that were previously un-posted. The objective of the analysis is to review the adequacy of existing speed limits, and to provide recommendations for new posted speeds by examining the various roadway characteristics that contribute to the establishment of appropriate speed limits. A summary of the existing posted speed limits and the recommended speed zones as presented in the Engineering and Traffic Survey report are shown in Table 1. Findings of the report indicate that a majority of the posted speed limits in Palm Desert are appropriate and should remain as is, with the exceptions noted below. The report has identified new posted speed limits on four roadway segments previously un-posted, two roadway segments recommending a decrease in posted speed, and nineteen roadway segments where speed limit increases are recommended. These roadway segments are listed below: Previously Un-Posted Roadway Segments with Recommended Posted Speed Limit Roadway Segment Existing Recommended College Dr Portola Ave to Frank Sinatra Dr Not Posted 40 Painters Path (W) Highway 111 to South Terminus Not Posted 25 Shepherd Ln Julie Ln to Frank Sinatra Dr Not Posted 40 University Park Dr College Dr to Cook Street Not Posted 35 Ordinance No. 1266 Staff Report Establish Speed Zones Page 3 of 4 February 27, 2014 Roadway Segments with Recommended Decrease of Posted Speed Limit Roadway Segment Existing Recommended Change Alessandro Dr San Carlos Ave to Portola Ave 35 30 -5 Hwy 74 Pitahaya St. to EI Paseo 45 40 -5 Roadway Segments with Recommended Increase of Posted Speed Limit Roadway Segment Existing Recommended Change California Dr Warner Trail to Ave of the States 30 35 5 De Anza Way San Carlos Ave to Portola Ave 25 30 5 Edgehill Dr Painters Path to Tierra Del Oro 30 35 5 Fairway Dr Panorama Dr to Cook St 25 30 5 Fairway Dr Portola Ave to Panorama Dr 25 30 5 Gateway Dr Dick Kelly Dr to Gerald Ford Dr 45 50 5 Gateway Dr Dinah Shore Dr to Dick Keliy Dr 45 50 5 Grapevine St Highway 74 to Portola Ave 30 35 5 Highway 74 Highway 111 to EI Paseo 35 40 5 Highway 74 Mesa View Dr to South City Limit 55 60 5 Mesa View Dr Highway 74 to Portola Ave 40 45 5 Monterey Ave Fred Waring Dr to Highway 111 40 45 5 Park View Dr Highway 111 to Monterey Ave 45 50 5 Portola Ave Dinah Shore Dr to Gerald Ford Dr 45 50 5 San Gorgonio Monterey Ave to San Carlos Ave 25 30 5 San Pablo Ave Fred Waring Dr to San Gorgonio 35 40 5 Verba Santa Dr Highway 74 to Tumbleweed Ln 25 30 5 Virginia Ave California Ave to North Terminus 25 30 5 Warner Trail California Dr to Fred Waring Dr 30 35 5 Speed limit information is also shown graphically on Exhibits 1 and 2 attached. Exhibit 1 highlights the roadway segments where recommended posted speed limits are new or reduced. Exhibit 2 identifies roadway segments where recommended posted speed limits are increased. Before the speed zones can take effect on street segments shared with other jurisdictions, those jurisdictions must concur with the new speed. Therefore, the City of Rancho Mirage must concur with the speed zones on the shared portions of Monterey Avenue and Park View Drive; the County of Riverside and the City of La Quinta must concur with the speed zone on the shared portion of Washington Street; and the City of Indian Wells must concur with the speed zone on Fred Waring Drive. Ordinance No. 1266 Staff Report Establish Speed Zones Page 4 of 4 February 27, 2014 Fiscal Analysis: Approximately 90 new signs will be need to be purchased to post the new or revised speed limits on affected roadway segments. The total cost to purchase the new speed limit signs will be less than $5,000.00. Funds for the purchase of new signs are available in Recycling — Supplies — Traffic Safety, Account Number 236-4250-433-2145. Prepared By: • Depa n ad: M S. Diercks, P.E.
