SUBJECT: City Council Meeting, October 1, 1997
ITEM: 9B. Consider an ordinance concerning speed zone change on Creekbend
Boulevard from Sam Bass Road to FM 3406. (Second Reading)
STAFF RESOURCE PERSON: Jim Nuse
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
City Staff has received requests from several citizens to establish a school speed zone on Creek Bend
Boulevard between FM 3406 and Sam Bass Road. We have completed a traffic and engineering
study of this segment of Creek Bend Boulevard and concur that a school speed zone is warranted.
The 20 mph school speed zone should start 400 feet south of FM 3406 and end 200 feet north of Sam
Bass Road. We are recommending that the 20 mph school speed zone be in effect from 7:00 a.m.
until 8:00 a.m., and from 2:30 p.m. until 3:30 p.m. The regular posted speed zone on this segment
of Creek Bend Boulevard is 30 mph, and we recommend no change to the regular speed zone.
We recommend your approval of this ordinance change.
