MEMO TO: Harve H. Harrison
Mayor
FROM: James E. Adams
City Engineer
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO SECTION 8.16.040 OF THE CITY
CODE, "DECREASE OF STATE LAW MAXIMUM SPEED"
Due to recent annexations, some revisions to Section 8.16.040 need to be
made to include newly annexed portions of SR 99. Items 1, 2, and 4 of the
proposed amendment reflect changes to the code in order to include the
annexed areas. None of these modifications involve a change in the cur-
rently signed speed limits on SR 99.
In addition, the Washington State Department of Transportation has re-
quested changes be made to our existing signed speed limits on SR 524.
These changes are a result of in-depth studies which the State has conducted
on SR 524. The attached sketches show existing signed speed limits and the
proposed changes, as requested by W.S.D.O.T. Changes from existing speed
limits include:
' Increasing the current 30 mph limit to 35 mph from the East
City limits to 88th Ave. W.
' Decreasing the current 30 mph limit to 25 mph on 3rd Ave. from
Edmonds Street to Main Street
Items 7, 8, and 11 of the proposed ordinance amendment reflect the speed
limit changes on SR 524.
I concur with W.S.D.O.T.'s request and recommend approval of the draft ordi-
nance.
