The section of Falling Leaf from Baker Road to Wilderness Trails is reduced to the 20 MPH section while Baker Road and Falling Leaf Avenue from Greenbriar Avenue to Sunset Drive are both 30 MPH. The Traffic Review Committee has reviewed the issues of speeding and the lack of Speed Limit signs and feel that additional Speed Limit signs as shown in exhibit 2019-02-06 would help to inform the drivers of the change in speed in the section. The Engineering Department agrees with this assessment and recommends that the City Manager accept this Ordinance 300 Request.
