Speed Limit Zone Establishments — Jurupa Avenue & Mobley Avenue • Page 2 and bicyclist safety. These surveys are performed in accordance with the CVC and California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) and enable both establishment and enforcement of the posted speed limit on many of our city streets. DISCUSSION: Jurupa Avenue: Jurupa Avenue between Rutland Avenue and Crest Avenue is a four -lane arterial roadway which was recently part of the Jurupa Avenue Extension Project and has single family residential properties situated along a portion of the north side of the street segment as well as an active housing development project which is currently under construction on a portion of the north side of the street. There is currently no posted speed limit within this stretch of roadway; however, Jurupa Avenue between Crest Avenue and Tyler Street is posted at 35 MPH. Jurupa Avenue between Rutland Avenue and Van Buren Boulevard is posted at 40 MPH. To establish an enforceable speed limit, the Public Works Department conducted a Traffic and Engineering Survey on Jurupa Avenue from Rutland Avenue to Crest Avenue which concluded the current 85th percentile speed to be 41 MPH. As a result of the survey findings and noted unusual conditions including residential density and proximity to Rutland Park, and the Public Works Department is recommending establishment of a 35 MPH speed limit on Jurupa Avenue from Rutland Avenue to Crest Avenue, which matches the adjacent speed posted between Crest Avenue and Tyler Street. The Transportation Board also recommended the installation of 25 MPH speed limit signs on Mobley Avenue north of Cook Avenue. Mobley Avenue: Mobley Avenue between Hole Avenue and Cook Avenue is a two-lane local roadway with residential homes, the westerly sides of Myra Linn Elementary School and Myra Linn Park, and a small commercial strip mall including a drive-thru restaurant situated along the street segment, however, the street does not have the residential density to meet the California Vehicle Code (CVC) definition of a residential district. There is currently no posted speed limit within this stretch of roadway except for the existing 25 MPH When School Children Are Present signs which are posted within and only apply to the Myra Linn Elementary school zone area. To establish an enforceable speed limit, the Public Works Department conducted a Traffic and Engineering Survey on Mobley Avenue from Hole Avenue to Cook Avenue which concluded the current 85th percentile speed to be 35 MPH. As a result of the survey findings and noted unusual conditions including variations in road width, segment with dirt shoulder, segment without sidewalk improvements, presence of an uncontrolled school crosswalk, and proximity to Myra Linn Park, the Public Works Department is proposing establishment of a 30 MPH speed limit on Mobley Avenue from Hole Avenue to Cook Avenue. The adjacent segment of Mobley Avenue, north of Cook Avenue, meets the requirements for a prima facie speed limit of 25 MPH. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: This proposal contributes to Strategic Priority 2 — Community Well -Being and Goal 2.4 - Support programs and innovations that enhance community safety, encourage neighborhood engagement, and build public trust.
