A.                     Issue

Ordinance language clean-up required due to existing language conflict

 

B.                     Background/Options 

Staff realized that WMC 11.36.470 shows a 30-mph speed limit for Vliet Street-Milwaukee Avenue from 60th Street (East City Limit) to North 73rd Street. WMC 11.36.472 shows a 25-mph speed limit for Milwaukee Avenue from east of North 74th Street to North 60th Street.

 

The intended and signed speed limit for the entirety of Vliet Street-Milwaukee Avenue is 25 mph. Therefore, staff recommends that an ordinance be prepared to formally adopt a 25-mph speed limit on Vliet Street-Milwaukee Avenue.
