OAKLEY
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) &BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. Recommended Action:
Hold public hearing at;7:30 p.m. on October 5, 1992, in cooperation with GMAC; and authorize
Public Works Director;or his designee to act as hearing officer, to consider Caltrans proposal
to reduce the speed limit on a portion of State Route 4 through the Town of Oakley.
II. Financiallmpact:
None
III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
Section 22354.5 of the California Vehicle Code permits local agencies to hold a public hearing
to consider Caltrans proposals to change existing speed limits on conventional State Highways
through cities or unincorporated communities. Caltrans has requested that the Board of
Supervisors hold a public hearing to consider their proposal to reduce the existing 45 mph
speed limit to 40 mph on that portion of State Route 4 between State Route 160 and Vintage
Parkway through the Town of Oakley. The Vehicle Code states that the public hearing should
be held at a convenient location as near as possible to that portion of the State highway.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
It would be difficult to increase traffic safety on this portion of State Route 4 without reducing this
speed limit.
