(1) AMENDMENTS TO THE CITY'S POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR
INSTALLATION OF SPEED HUMPS
Recommendation of City Manager: It is recommended that the City
Council approve the amendments to the City's Policies and Procedures
for Installation of Speed Humps as shown on Attachment 1 of the
agenda report. The amendments revise or create new policies and
procedures for factors such as traffic volumes, speeds, street grades,
and horizontal and vertical alignment of the streets.
Recommendation of Transportation Advisory Commission: The
Transportation Advisory Commission (TAC) held meetings on July 10
and December 5, 2003, and on March 12, May 7, and June 3, 2004, to
review the proposed amendments to the Speed Hump Policies and
Procedures. After considerable deliberation at several meetings, TAC
unanimously supported staff's recommendations, with the following
proposed changes:
(a) That the lower traffic volume threshold in the policy be
changed from the recommended 1,000 vehicles per day to 500 vehicles
per day.
(b) That the upper traffic volume threshold in the policy be
changed from the recommended 3,000 vehicles per day to 4,000
vehicles per day.
(c) That residential alleys meeting other criteria be considered for
speed humps.

hump considerations.

the representative(s) of a street not eligible for speed humps appeal the
matter to the City Council, TAC can review and make recommendations
on the matter.

recommendation with the exception of (a) (the revision to the lower
traffic volume threshold) for the reasons explained in the body of the
agenda report.
