Council introduces speed-limit survey ordinance, asks staff to align Grand Avenue limit with Los Angeles
Summary
Public Works Director Elias Sassoon presented an ordinance to update the city's engineering and traffic survey on speed limits; council introduced the ordinance, waived the first reading and directed staff to coordinate with the City of Los Angeles on Grand Avenue. Second reading set for July 1.
El Segundo Public Works Director Elias Sassoon presented an ordinance on June 17 to conduct the city's mandated engineering and traffic survey of speed limits.
Sassoon told council the survey must be done every seven years and the last full survey was completed in February 2019. Council introduced the ordinance, waived its first reading and gave staff instructions to work with the City of Los Angeles to align the speed limit on Grand Avenue. The second reading of the ordinance is scheduled for the July 1 council meeting.
The meeting record does not show final adoption; the council's action on June 17 was to introduce the ordinance and waive the first-reading requirement. The transcript does not include a detailed traffic-study timeline, costs, or specific proposed speed-limit values—those details are expected to be addressed in subsequent staff reports and at the July 1 reading.
Council members asked staff to coordinate with Los Angeles where the roadway or jurisdictional boundary might affect posted limits.
