Council adopted an ordinance (second reading) to establish a school speed zone on Mulberry Street from approximately North Chico Avenue to North Lane Street on school days. The council clarified the times and ordinance numbering during discussion; the approved schedule establishes restricted speeds from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on school days. The motion directed staff to proceed with signage to implement the speed zone.
Council members discussed follow-up issues, including whether marked crosswalks or sidewalks should be added and the need to coordinate any crosswalk installations carefully where sidewalks do not yet exist. Staff said crosswalks and sidewalk connections could be considered as a separate, subsequent action.
Ending
Staff will install the approved signage and return to council with any recommended crosswalk or sidewalk work if needed.
