RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Traffic Resolution No. 2016/4448 to establish a speed limit on a portion of Bixler Road (Road No. 9163A); and RESCIND Traffic Resolution 2003/4036, relating to the speed limit on a portion of Bixler Road, as recommended by the Public Works Director, Byron area.

Based on the results of a new Engineering & Traffic Survey conducted, the Traffic Engineer recommends a reduction in the speed limit from 45 miles per hour to 40 miles per hour on this portion of the roadway.
