ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:

 

Josey Lane, a 6-lane divided arterial street, currently has no posted speed limits in the segment from 1,900 feet south of State Highway 121 to the south City limits with Carrollton due to its relatively recent annexation. Staff conducted speed studies on Josey Lane and the 85th percentile speed from the study is 54 mph. Based on the speed study results, adjacent land use, and to be consistent with the existing speed limits in the adjacent segments, staff recommends a posted speed limit of 50 mph. The Transportation Board considered this item at the July 6, 2021, meeting and voted unanimously (7-0) to approve the recommendation to the City Council.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

 

That the City Council approve the ordinance as set forth in the caption above.
