ORDINANCE NO. 2247
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASH-
INGTON, AMENDING SECTION 8.16.030 OF THE
EDMONDS CITY CODE TO CLARIFY AN EXISTING
AMBIGUITY THEREBY EXTENDING A SPEED LIMIT
ON 9TH AVENUE SOUTH TO THE CITY LIMITS.
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Edmonds,
Washington finds that Section 8.16.030 of the Edmonds City Code
makes an ambiguous reference in subsection 3 to "Westgate" to
describe the southernmost limit of the thirty mile per hour
speed limit zone on 9th Avenue South; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that said ambiguity
interferes with the enforcement of such speed restriction on
this portion of 9th Avenue South; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that it would serve
the best interest of the City of Edmonds if the thirty mile per
hour speed restriction on 9th Avenue South is extended from
Dayton Street to 232nd St. S.W., the present limits of the City
of Edmonds, now, therefore,
