Recommendation: Receive and file the Budget to Actual Year-to-Date through Quarter 3, for the Fiscal Year 2025-2026.
D. Citywide Speed Survey Report (Development Services)
This item was presented to City Council at the April 20, 2026 meeting and was continued to allow the City's Traffic Engineer to be present to answer questions about the Engineering and Traffic Survey. Based on the Engineering and Traffic Survey data, staff recommends reducing the posted speed on Los Alamitos Boulevard, between Katella Avenue and Bradbury Road, from 40 miles per hour (mph) to 35 miles per hour.
The California Vehicle Code (CVC) requires that Engineering and Traffic Surveys (E&TS) be conducted to establish or revise prima facie speed limits on roadways where radar or other electronic speed enforcement methods are to be utilized. These surveys analyze prevailing vehicle speeds, roadway conditions, collision history, and surrounding land uses to ensure that posted speed limits are reasonable, safe, and legally enforceable. To maintain compliance with State of California requirements and preserve the City’s ability to effectively enforce speed limits, these surveys must be updated at regular intervals, typically every five (5) to seven (7) years, or sooner if significant roadway or traffic pattern changes occur.
Recommendation: Authorize staff to retain all existing posted speed limits on City streets with the exception for reducing the speed limit on Los Alamitos Boulevard between Katella Avenue and Bradbury Road from 40 mph to 35 mph based on the Engineering and Traffic Survey.
