STATEMENT ON THE SUBJECT: The City received a request to evaluate the stretch of Mar Vista Drive between Thibodo Road and Miramar Drive for speed humps as a traffic calming measure. Staff conducted an evaluation of the road section using the criteria outlined in City Council Policy 600-07, Criteria and Procedures for Installation of Speed Humps. Please see Exhibit 2 for the speed hump evaluation. Staff determined that this section of Mar Vista 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 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 on this segment.
Staff collected data that showed the prevailing speeds near 623 Mar Vista Drive to be around 29 miles per hour. The speed study is attached as Exhibit 5. There have also been seven reported accidents on this segment of Mar Vista Drive in the past five years.
The adjacent properties have been notified that this proposal will be on the May 13, 2025 City Council agenda. Exhibits 6 and 7 contain the notice and a map of notified properties.
