ARTICLE XVIII DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES (DBE) PARTICIPATION A. This AGREEMENT is subject to 49 CFR Part 26 entitled “Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Department of Transportation Financial Assistance Programs”. CONSULTANTs who enter into a federally-funded agreement will assist the LOCAL AGENCY in a good faith effort to achieve California's statewide overall DBE goal.
B. The goal for DBE participation for this AGREEMENT is 15%. Participation by DBE CONSULTANT or subconsultants shall be in accordance with information contained in Exhibit 10-O2: Consultant Contract DBE Commitment attached hereto and incorporated as part of the AGREEMENT. If a DBE subconsultant is unable to perform, CONSULTANT must make a good faith effort to replace him/her with another DBE subconsultant, if the goal is not otherwise met.
C. CONSULTANT can meet the DBE participation goal by either documenting commitments to DBEs to meet the AGREEMENT goal, or by documenting adequate good faith efforts to meet the AGREEMENT goal. An adequate good faith effort means that the CONSULTANT must show that it took all necessary and reasonable steps to achieve a DBE goal that, by their scope, intensity, and appropriateness to the objective, could reasonably be expected to meet the DBE goal. If CONSULTANT has not met the DBE goal, complete and submit Exhibit 15-H: DBE Information – Good Faith Efforts to document efforts to meet the goal. Refer to 49 CFR Part 26 for guidance regarding evaluation of good faith efforts to meet the DBE goal.
D. DBEs and other small businesses, as defined in 49 CFR Part 26 are encouraged to participate in the performance of AGREEMENTs financed in whole or in part with federal funds. The LOCAL AGENCY, CONSULTANT or subconsultant shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this contract. The CONSULTANT shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR part 26 in the award and administration of DOT-assisted contracts. Failure by the CONSULTLANT to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this AGREEMENT, which may result in the termination of this AGREEMENT or such other remedy as the LOCAL AGENCY deems appropriate, which may include, but is not limited to:
(1) Withholding monthly progress payments;
(2) Assessing sanctions;
(3) Liquidated damages; and/or
(4) Disqualifying the contractor from future bidding as non-responsible E. A DBE firm may be terminated only with prior written approval from LOCAL AGENCY and only for the reasons specified in 49 CFR §26.53(f). Prior to requesting LOCAL AGENCY consent for the termination, CONSULTANT must meet the procedural requirements specified in 49 CFR §26.53(f).
If a DBE subconsultant is unable to perform, CONSULTANT must make a good faith effort to replace him/her with another DBE subconsultant, if the goal is not otherwise met.
F. Consultant shall not be entitled to any payment for such work or material unless it is performed or supplied by the listed DBE or by other forces (including those of Consultant) pursuant to prior written authorization of the LOCAL AGENCY’s Contract Administrator.
G. A DBE is only eligible to be counted toward the AGREEMENT goal if it performs a commercially useful function (CUF) on the AGREEMENT. CUF must be evaluated on an agreement by agreement basis. A DBE performs a Commercially Useful Function (CUF) when it is responsible for execution of the work of the AGREEMENT and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved. To perform a CUF, the DBE must also be responsible, with respect to materials and supplies used on the AGREEMENT, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material and installing (where applicable), and paying for the material itself. To determine whether a DBE is performing a CUF, evaluate the
amount of work subcontracted, industry practices, whether the amount the firm is to be paid under the AGREEMENT is commensurate with the work it is actually performing, and other relevant factors.
H. A DBE does not perform a CUF if its role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, AGREEMENT, or project through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance of DBE participation. In determining whether a DBE is such an extra participant, examine similar transactions, particularly those in which DBEs do not participate.
I. If a DBE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least thirty percent (30%) of the total cost of its AGREEMENT with its own work force, or the DBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work of the AGREEMENT than would be expected on the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involved, it will be presumed that it is not performing a CUF.
J. CONSULTANT shall maintain records of materials purchased or supplied from all subcontracts entered into with certified DBEs. The records shall show the name and business address of each DBE or vendor and the total dollar amount actually paid each DBE or vendor, regardless of tier.
The records shall show the date of payment and the total dollar figure paid to all firms. DBE prime CONSULTANT’s shall also show the date of work performed by their own forces along with the corresponding dollar value of the work.
K. Upon completion of the AGREEMENT, a summary of these records shall be prepared and submitted on the form entitled, Exhibit 17-F: Final Report-Utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) First-Tier Subconsultants, certified correct by CONSULTANT or CONSULTANT’s authorized representative and shall be furnished to the Contract Administrator with the final invoice. Failure to provide the summary of DBE payments with the final invoice will result in twenty-five percent (25%) of the dollar value of the invoice being withheld from payment until the form is submitted. The amount will be returned to CONSULTANT when a satisfactory “Final Report-Utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), First-Tier Subconsultants” is submitted to the Contract Administrator.
L. If a DBE subconsultant is decertified during the life of the AGREEMENT, the decertified subconsultant shall notify CONSULTANT in writing with the date of decertification. If a subconsultant becomes a certified DBE during the life of the AGREEMENT, the subconsultant shall notify CONSULTANT in writing with the date of certification. Any changes should be reported to LOCAL AGENCY’s Contract Administrator within thirty (30) calendar days.
M. Any subcontract entered into as a result of this AGREEMENT shall contain all of the provisions of this section.

Except for worker's compensation and professional liability insurance, the policies mentioned in this subsection shall name LOCAL AGENCY as an additional insured and provide for notice of cancellation to LOCAL AGENCY. CONSULTANT shall also provide timely and prompt notice to LOCAL AGENCY if CONSULTANT receives any notice of cancellation or nonrenewal from its insurer.
ii. Primary Coverage. CONSULTANT'S insurance coverage shall be primary insurance with respect to LOCAL AGENCY, its officers, officials, agents, employees, and volunteers. Any insurance, risk pooling arrangement, or self-insurance maintained by LOCAL AGENCY, its officers, officials, agents, employees, or volunteers shall be in excess of CONSULTANT'S insurance and shall not contribute with it. iii. Reporting Provisions.

Report in Brief
California state law sets default speed limits (called prima facie limits) when no signs are posted which include 25 mph in business/residential areas, school zones, and near senior centers and 15 mph in alleys and near railroad crossings. Cities are permitted to set higher speed limits than these prima facie limits, but the speed limit must be set based on a traffic study and appropriately posted for it to be enforceable by the police.
In general, State law requires that speed limits be established using the 85th percentile speed of free-flow traffic rounded to the nearest 5 mph increment. The law allows for additional speed reductions from this method based on conditions in the field,

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.a

engineering judgement, and documentation in a traffic study called an Engineering and Traffic Survey (E&TS).
The Transportation Division has conducted a comprehensive citywide E&TS, and an update to the City’s current speed limit section of the Concord Municipal Code— reflecting the findings of this study—is now before the Council for consideration.
Recommended Action
Introduction of an Ordinance amending Concord Municipal Code, Title 10 (Traffic and Vehicles), Chapter 10.20 (Operation of Vehicles), Article IV (Special Speed Zones), Section 10.20.080 (Speed limits established) Approving Speed Limit Changes in Accordance With the Findings of Engineering and Traffic Surveys on Various Streets Throughout the City of Concord, by reading of the title only and waving further reading.
Background
The California Vehicle Code (CVC) allows local agencies such as Concord to establish speed limits that are different than the prima facie speed limit of 25 mph based on an E&TS. The E&TS determines a reasonable, safe, and enforceable speed limit based on a review of free-flow speeds, collision data, and the general characteristics of land uses and activity in the vicinity. The Transportation Division has completed the E&TS to reassess speed limits throughout the city to establish safe and enforceable limits, lowering them when and where appropriate.
Speed Zones
The first step in conducting an E&TS is to define speed zones—groupings of roadway segments that share similar characteristics such as land use context, traffic patterns, and roadway conditions. These zones allow for consistent and appropriate speed limits across similar stretches of roadway. For example, Clayton Road between Market Street and Ygnacio Valley Road has been divided into four speed zones, each reflecting distinct roadway conditions that may warrant different speed limits based on E&TS findings.
As part of this effort, the Transportation Division evaluated all roadways in the city with posted speed limits above the prima facie 25 mph limit. Similar roadway segments were consolidated into speed zones for analysis. In total, 92 speed zones were identified citywide . An E&TS was conducted for each of these zones to determine safe, reasonable, and enforceable speed limits
Engineering & Traffic Surveys (E&TS)
The E&TS is required by California law to legally set and justify speed limits that differ from the prima facie defaults (25 mph) and to enforce against speeding. Pursuant to
City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.a

CVC Section 40802(c), an E&TS must be performed every 5, 71, or 142 years depending on roadway conditions and enforcement procedures. Elements of an E&TS include a speed survey, a collision history review, and an assessment of roadway conditions that may be cause for a reduced speed limit such as locations generating high pedestrian and bicycle traffic.
A key component of the E&TS is the speed survey, which aims to sample the speeds of at least 100 vehicles in each direction within each speed zone. To ensure accuracy, only vehicles traveling under free-flow conditions—unimpeded by other vehicles, such as those not part of a platoon—are included.
In general, speed limits are determined using the 85th percentile speed, which is the speed at or below which 85% of free-flowing drivers are observed to travel. This method, mandated by the State, is grounded in actual driver behavior and reflects what most drivers perceive to be a safe and reasonable speed. Establishing speed limits in this way promotes uniform traffic flow and provides a defensible basis for enforcement.
Potential Speed Reductions
While the standard is to set the speed limit to the nearest 5 mph increment of the 85th percentile speed, state law does allow for certain reductions in the posted speed limit to improve safety in areas such as those generating high pedestrian and bicycle traffic.
These reductions are determined by a traffic engineer and documented as part of the E&TS. These reductions have been fully applied by the Transportation Division where appropriate. There are essentially three potential reductions permissible with proper documentation. These include:
• CVC Section 22358.6(b) –This section of the CVC allows for a 5 mph reduction in the posted speed limit based on engineering judgment, beyond what would traditionally be set using the 85th percentile speed. For instance, if a roadway— such as Street A has an 85th percentile speed of 37 mph, the standard approach would round to the nearest 5 mph increment, resulting in a posted speed limit of 35 mph. However, under CVC Section 22358.6(b), the speed limit may be further reduced by 5 mph to 30 mph if the E&TS documents specific conditions that warrant a lower limit to enhance safety for vulnerable road users. Such conditions might include proximity to parks, schools, trail crossings, or areas with high pedestrian or bicyclist activity.
• CVC Section 22358.6(c) – This section of the CVC permits rounding the 85th percentile speed down to the nearest 5 mph increment, even when standard rounding rules would typically require rounding up. For example, if Street B has an 85th percentile speed of 43 mph, the standard practice would round up to a 1 The E&TS is valid for seven years when using radar or any other electronic device that measures the speed of moving objects.
2 An extension to 14 years is permissible if a registered engineer evaluates the section of the highway and determines that no significant changes in roadway or traffic conditions have occurred.

posted speed limit of 45 mph. However, under CVC Section 22358.6(c), the speed limit may be rounded down to 40 mph. While this section does not require documentation to justify the reduction, the Transportation Division has chosen to document the rationale for applying this provision in the E&TS for transparency and consistency.
• CVC Section 22358.7(a)(2) –This section of the CVC allows for an additional 5 mph reduction in the posted speed limit beyond the reductions permitted under CVC Sections 22358.6(b) and 22358.6(c), when a roadway is adjacent to land uses or facilities that generate high concentrations of bicyclists or pedestrians, particularly those from vulnerable populations such as children, seniors, persons with disabilities, or the unhoused. For example, if Street C has an 85th percentile speed of 44 mph, it may first be rounded down to 40 mph under CVC Section 22358.6(c). If Street C is adjacent to a land use such as an elementary school that generates significant pedestrian or bicycle activity, CVC Section 22358.7(a)(2) allows the posted speed limit to be further reduced to 35 mph to enhance safety for these users.
Analysis
Transportation Division staff assessed both the existing speed zones in the Concord Municipal Code and the currently posted speed limit on non-residential roadways in the city. Based on the collected data and analysis, the following recommendations are made to ensure enforceable speed limits in Concord.
Speed Zones
Concord Municipal Code Section 10.20.080 currently identifies a total of 91 speed zones throughout the city where speeds can be set higher than the 25 mph prima facie speed based on an E&TS. The entire city was reassessed to determine additions, modifications, and eliminations to the current 91 speed zones. Based on this review, the Transportation Division recommends four (4) speed zones be removed, six (6) speed zones be added, and 30 speed zones be modified.
• Speed Zone Removals
o Campus Road3 from Pine Hollow Road to Ygnacio Valley Road – Recommended for removal, as this roadway is not part of the public right- of-way; it is owned and maintained by Cal State East Bay. Additionally, Concord Police do not conduct enforcement on this segment, making inclusion in the City's speed zone inventory unnecessary. o Hitchcock Road from Court Lane to Kaski Lane – Recommended for removal, as this is a local roadway located within the core of a residential district, where the 25 mph prima facie speed limit is applicable and enforceable without the need for an E&TS.
3 Designated “California State Hayward Campus Road” in Concord Municipal Code 10.20.080
City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.a
August 26, 2025
o Ridge Park Drive from Cowell Road to Cowell Road – Recommended for removal since the roadway experiences such low traffic volumes that the required sample size of 50 vehicles could not be obtained to support an enforceable E&TS. Given its classification as a local street within a residential area, the 25 mph prima facie speed limit applies and is enforceable without an E&TS.
o Rolling Woods Way from Crystyl Ranch Drive to the Boundary of Crystyl Ranch Subdivision - Recommended for removal since this segment is a local roadway located in the heart of a residential district and a 25 mph prima facie speed limit is applicable and enforceable without an E&TS. In contrast, the adjacent segment of Rolling Woods Drive from the Crystyl Ranch subdivision to Pine Hollow Road remains designated as a speed zone since it lacks direct residential frontage making enforcement under the residential district provision impossible.
• Speed Zone Additions
o Crystyl Ranch Drive from Ygnacio Valley Road to Hiddencrest Court – Recommended to be added since this segment currently has a posted speed limit higher than 25 mph but is not included in the City’s existing list of established speed zones rendering the speed limit unenforceable.
Inclusion in the municipal code with E&TS documentation will provide the legal basis for enforcement.
o East Street from Pacheco Street to Clayton Road - Recommended to be added since this segment is classified as an arterial roadway and does not qualify as a residential district. Additionally, it does not meet the criteria outlined in the CVC for designation as a business activity district, which would otherwise permit enforcement of the 25 mph prima facie speed limit. Establishing this segment as a speed zone through an E&TS is necessary to enable legal enforcement of the speed limit. o Mohr Lane from Monument Boulevard to David Avenue –
Recommended for addition since the roadway is classified as a major collector and serves as a transit route. Establishing this segment as a speed zone through an E&TS will provide a legally enforceable speed limit to support safe operations and effective enforcement.
o Olivera Road from Hillsborough Drive to Hamilton Avenue – Recommended for addition since the roadway is classified as an arterial/collector, carries a high volume of non-local traffic, and is adjacent to a school. Establishing this segment as a speed zone through an E&TS will allow for a legally enforceable speed limit to enhance safety. o Salvio Street from Port Chicago Highway to Olivera Road – Salvio Street is a collector roadway adjacent to a mix of municipal facilities including City Hall, the public library, Olympic High School, the Willow

Pass Center, and residential areas. Due to the mixed nature of surrounding land uses and classification as a collector road, enforcement cannot rely on the residential prima facie speed limit. Establishing a speed zone through an E&TS would create a legally enforceable speed limit and support effective speed management along the corridor
o Willow Pass Road from Galindo Street to Parkside Drive – This segment of Willow Pass Road is not included within any established speed zone supported by an E&TS making the speed limit unenforceable.
Adding this segment as a designated speed zone will establish an enforceable speed limit on Willow Pass Road as it traverses the downtown Concord area.
• Speed Zone Modifications – Modifications are proposed to 30 speed zones to change the boundaries of the zones or combine two zones to better align with current roadway and land use characteristics. These zones along with how the boundary is proposed to be modified are included in Attachment 3.
Attachment 4 contains a list of all the proposed speed zones as a result if this analysis effort which includes a total of 92 segments.
E&TS Speed Limit Assessment
The E&TS covered all 92 of the proposed speed zones listed in Attachment 4. The detailed findings for collision history, 85th percentile speed, and justifications for the proposed posted speed limit for each speed zone are included in Attachment 5. Based on the E&TS assessment, 25% of speed zones (23 of 92) are recommended to have a change in the posted speed limit. Other key statistics from this assessment include:
• 28 of the 92 speed zones had their speed limits set using the traditional method of rounding the 85th percentile to the nearest 5 mph increment. • 51 of the 92 speed zones had their speed limits set by taking a 5 mph reduction to the rounded 85th percentile speed to improve safety in areas with pedestrian/bicycle activity or collisions.
• 13 of the 92 speed zones used a 10 mph reduction to the rounded 85th percentile speed limit since they were near a land use generating high concentrations of pedestrians and bicyclists such as a school or community park.
As noted above, 23 speed zones are proposed to have their speed limits changed.
Details of these zones and the reasoning behind the change include:
• Increased Speed Limits (3 Segments)
o Crystyl Ranch Drive from Ygnacio Valley Road to Hiddencrest Court (35 mph to 45 mph) – The speed limit was increased to 45 mph due to the adjacent land use consisting primarily of open fields and the results of the speed survey, which indicated that a lower speed limit would not be

Agenda Item No. 5.a
August 26, 2025
enforceable. Setting the speed limit at 45 mph aligns with the prevailing speeds of the majority of drivers and enables Concord Police to enforce violations involving excessive speeding.
o Rolling Woods Way from Pine Hollow Road to northernmost boundary of the Crystyl Ranch development (30 mph to 35 mph) – The speed limit was increased to 35 mph based on speed survey data and because there are no residential units directly fronting the street.
Establishing the speed limit at 35 mph aligns with the prevailing travel speeds and enables Concord Police to enforce excessive speeding violations, which would not be feasible with a lower speed limit. o Turtle Creek Road from Treat Boulevard to Swallow Tail Road (30 mph to 35 mph) – This speed zone currently includes a mix of posted speed limits including 30 mph between Treat Boulevard and Fallbrook Drive and 35 mph between Fallbrook Drive and Swallow Tail Court.
However, the collected speed data does not support a 30 mph limit in the first segment, rendering it legally unenforceable. Standardizing the entire speed zone at 35 mph aligns with prevailing driver speeds and establishes an enforceable speed limit. This enables Concord Police to take action against excessive speeding.
• Decreased Speed Limits (20 Segments)
o Alberta Way from Clayton Road to Ygnacio Valley Road (35 mph to 25 mph) – Speed limit reduced due to proximity to Clayton Valley Charter High School.
o Ayers Road from Ygnacio Valley Road to Clayton Road (35 mph to 30 mph) – Speed limit reduced due to proximity to Newhall Park. o Babel Lane from Clayton Road to Cowell Road (35 mph to 30 mph) – Speed limit reduced due to proximity to El Monte Elementary School. o Burnett Avenue from Highway 680 Northbound on/off ramp to John Glenn Drive (35 mph to 30 mph) – Speed limit reduced to better align with prevailing speeds and dense commercial land uses.
o Clayton Road from Galindo Street to Oakland Avenue (35 mph to 30 mph) – Speed limit reduced due to the downtown nature of the speed zone and to make it consistent with Concord Boulevard which is the other half of the couplet through downtown.
o Concord Avenue from Market Street to Salvio Street (35 mph to 30 mph) – Speed limit lowered due to multimodal activity that occurs in the downtown area.
o Cowell Road from Monument Boulevard to Babel Lane (35 mph to 30 mph) – Speed limit lowered to account for pedestrian and bicycle activity at Krueger Fields, Canal Trail Crossing, and Concord Community Park.
City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.a
August 26, 2025
o David Avenue from Oak Grove Road to Bancroft Road (40 mph to 35 mph) – Speed limit reduced since roadway has a pedestrian bridge to Oak Grove Middle School and there are several houses with driveways directly fronting David Avenue.
o Galaxy Way from Commerce Avenue to Via De Mercados (30 mph to 25 mph) – Speed limit reduced based on prevailing speed of vehicles and the adjacent De La Salle Academy.
o Galindo Street from Monument Boulevard to Salvio Street (35 mph to 30 mph) – Speed limit lowered due to multimodal activity that occurs in the downtown area.
o Grant Street from High School Avenue to Solano Way (35 mph to 30 mph) – Speed limit reduced due to proximity to high pedestrian/bicycle generating uses such as Mount Diablo High School and the John Muir Medical Campus.
o Kirker Pass Road from City Limit to Myrtle Drive (55 mph to 50 mph) – Speed limit reduced to better align with prevailing speeds and to align with the 50 mph speed zone over Kirker Pass implemented in the county section.
o Laura Alice Way from Arnold Industrial Way to Nelson Avenue (35 mph to 30 mph) – Speed limit reduced to better align with speed limit on Peralta Road which is the continuation of Laura Alice Way on the other side of SR 4.
o Marsh Drive from Solano Way to City Limit (45 mph to 40 mph) - The speed limit was reduced to help moderate vehicle speeds as drivers enter Concord and approach Solano Way, promoting a smoother and safer transition into the urban roadway environment.
o Meadow Lane from Market Street to Monument Boulevard (35 mph to 30 mph) – The speed limit was reduced to better reflect the residential character of the surrounding land uses and to enhance safety for all users following the installation of bicycle facilities along the roadway. o Minert Road from Oak Grove Road to City Limit (40 mph to 35 mph) – Speed limit reduced due to speed zone being adjacent to Oak Grove Middle School.
o Oak Grove Road from Junction Drive to City Limit (40 mph to 35 mph) – Speed limit reduced to better align with prevailing speeds. o Oakland Avenue from Clayton Road to Mt Diablo Street (30 mph to 25 mph) – Speed limit lowered due to proximity with the Concord BART station.
City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.a
August 26, 2025
o Port Chicago Highway from Panoramic Drive to City Limit (45 mph to 40 mph) – Reduced speed limit justified based on the latest speed survey data.
o West Street from Clayton Road to Concord Boulevard (30 mph to 25 mph) – Speed limit reduced due to residential nature of the street and its close proximity to Westwood Elementary School, El Dorado Middle School, and the St Agness School.
Attachment 6 shows the speed zones where speed limit changes are proposed while Attachment 7 shows a map of the proposed speed limits should the ordinance be adopted.
Financial Impact
The proposed changes to the speed zones will require the addition or modification of speed limit signage throughout the city. These speed limit signage changes would be completed by public works staff as part of general maintenance of signs and the costs for doing so will be covered by the General Fund.
Environmental Determination
The City Council finds that the proposed Municipal Code amendments are exempt from CEQA pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), and/or 15378 in that they do not constitute a “project” as defined by CEQA since they do not have the potential to result in either a direct physical change to the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment. If the Ordinance did constitute a “project” under CEQA, the Ordinance falls within the “common sense” exemption set forth in 14 Cal. Code Regs.
Section 15061(b)(3), excluding projects where “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment…” Therefore, the proposed Municipal Code amendments do not warrant further environmental review. This determination reflects the City’s independent judgement and analysis.

LIMIT CHANGES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FINDINGS OF
ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEYS ON VARIOUS STREETS
THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF CONCORD
WHEREAS, California Vehicle Code (CVC) Section 22352 establishes prima facie speed limits for streets; and
WHEREAS, CVC Section 22357 provides that whenever a local authority determines upon the basis of an engineering and traffic survey that a speed greater than 25 miles per hour would facilitate the orderly movement of vehicular traffic and would be reasonable and safe upon any street other than a state highway otherwise subject to prima facie limit of 25 miles per hour, the local authority may by ordinance determine and declare a speed limit of 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, or 60 miles per hour or a maximum speed limit of 65 miles per hour, whichever is found most appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic and is reasonable and safe; and WHEREAS, pursuant to the 1999 revision to Section 40802 of the California Vehicle Code by the California Legislature, the City cannot use radar to enforce speed limits unless justified by an engineering and traffic survey conducted in accordance with CVC Section 627 and the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD); and
WHEREAS, the City prepared an engineering and traffic survey (E&TS) for each designated City street from April 30, 2024, through May 22, 2025, and the proposed speed limit for each street as established by the City’s 2025 Engineering and Traffic Surveys.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CONCORD DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The proposed Municipal Code amendments are exempt from CEQA pursuant to Public Resources Code 21065 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), and/or 15378 in that they do not constitute a “project” as defined by CEQA since they do not have the potential to result in either a direct physical change to the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect Attachment 1

Alberta Way between Clayton Road and Ygnacio Valley Road is a collector street with one travel lane in each direction and a two-way left-turn lane. The segment has sidewalk on both sides of the street except in front of the high school which only has sidewalk on the east side of the road. Class 3 bicycle facilities run the length of the street in both directions. Abutting land use is primarily residential, with commercial properties on the ends and two schools (Clayton Valley High School & Ygnacio Valley Christian School), all of which generate pedestrian, bicyclist, and vehicular traffic.
Roadway Geometrics and
Intersections
Based on the factors listed above and in compliance with the CVC, the speed limit will be lowered to 25 mph on Alberta Way between Clayton Road and Ygnacio Valley Road. This recommendation is based on the downward rounding of the measured 85th percentile speed (34 mph) by 5 mph per CVC 22358.6(b) and an additional 5 mph speed reduction due to the adjacent Clayton Valley Charter High School which creates high concentrations of bicyclists and pedestrians per CVC 22358.7(a)(2).

Arnold Industrial Place between Solano Way and East End is a two-lane arterial with a pedestrian walkway on the north side, no bicycle facilities, and parking allowed on both sides of the street for most of its length. Abutting land uses include public storage, auto repair shops, wholesale stores, manufacturing facilities and offices, and the West Wind Solano Drive-In and swap-meet. The swap meet is very popular on weekends leading to a significant amount of pedestrian activity.
Roadway Geometrics and
Intersections
A signal is present at Solano Way while Peralta Road is all-way stop-controlled. Other intersections such at the SR 4 eastbound ramps are side street stop controlled.
Speed Limit Determination
Based on the factors listed above, it is appropriate to maintain a speed limit of 30 MPH on Arnold Industrial Place between Solano Way and the East End. This recommendation is based on the downward rounding of the measured 85th percentile speed (35 mph) by 5 mph per CVC 22358.6(b) due to high pedestrian activity in the vicinity of the Solano Drive-In from the swap meet. Therefore, no change in the existing speed limit is recommended.
