City Traffic Engineer
DATE: February 6,1998
SUBJECT: City Council Meeting -February 12, 1998
ITEM: 12.B. Consider an ordinance concerning speed zone changes on Louis
Henna Boulevard from 200 feet east of Greenlawn Boulevard to the
Round Rock city limit west of Meister Lane, and from the Round
Rock city limit east of Meister Lane to the Round Rock city limit at
the M.K.T. Railroad right-of-way. (Second Reading)
STAFF RESOURCE PERSON: Jim Nuse
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
An engineering study of the speed zones on Louis Henna Boulevard from 200' east of
Greenlawn Boulevard to the Round Rock city limit west of Meister Lane, and from the
Round Rock city limit east of Meister Lane to the Round Rock city limit at the M.K.T.
Railroad right of way has recently been completed. The results of the study indicates
that the existing posted speed limits of 55 mph are appropriate. However, I have not
been able to find a City Ordinance covering this section of road. My recommendations
for speed zoning on this section of road are summarized as follows:
Louis Henna Boulevard from 200' east of Greenlawn Blvd
to the Round Rock City limit west of Meister Lane .55 mph
Louis Henna Boulevard from the Round Rock City limit
east of Meister Lane to the Round Rock City limit at the
M.K.T. Railroad right of way 55 mph
Staff recommends approval.
