STATEMENT ON THE SUBJECT: The City received a request to evaluate the stretch of Las Palmas Drive between Vale View Drive and Venus View Drive for speed humps as a traffic calming measure.

Please see Exhibit 2 for the speed hump evaluation. Staff determined that this section of Las Palmas Drive meets the criteria for the installation of speed humps.
As required in City Council Policy 600-07, the residents of this street segment submitted a petition for the installation of the speed humps. Exhibits 3 and 4 are the petition and petition verification map, which show that a majority of nearby residents are in support of speed humps along this segment.
Staff collected data that showed the prevailing speeds near 730 Las Palmas Drive to be around 30 miles per hour. The speed study is attached as Exhibit 5. There has also been one reported accident on this segment of Las Palmas Drive in the past five years.
The adjacent properties have been notified that this proposal will be on the January 14, 2025 City Council agenda. Exhibits 6 and 7 contain the notice and a map of notified properties.
