RESOLUTION 6670 SETTING FORTH LEGALLY
ENFORCEABLE SPEED LIMITS ON A PORTION OF
COLORADO STREET
WHEREAS, in accordance with California Vehicle Code Sections 22357
and 22358, Sections 3221 and 3222 of the Arcadia Municipal Code authorize the
City Council, on the basis of an engineering and traffic survey, to decrease the
prima facie speed limit otherwise allowed by state law on certain streets in order to
facilitate the orderly movement of vehicular traffic in a manner that is reasonable
and safe; and
WHEREAS, the City of Arcadia has recently conducted an engineering and
traffic survey which together with earlier such engineering and traffic surveys,
indicates that a speed less than that otherwise permitted by state law on Colorado
Street would facilitate the orderly movement of vehicular traffic and would be
reasonable and safe; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires and intends to keep in place without
interruption those certain increases and decreases in the prima facie speed limit on
certain streets set forth in Arcadia Municipal Code Sections 3221 through and
including 3221.23 and Sections 3222 through and including 3222.9; and

ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
