Committee coalesces behind single 20 mph OHV limit; Sands Flat to remain 15 mph
Summary
Colin reported the city is weighing changes to off‑highway vehicle (OHV) speed‑limit signage and told the committee 15‑mph limits may face legal challenges. The group reached consensus on a single 20‑mph limit while retaining a 15‑mph limit at Sands Flat.
Colin reported that the city is considering changes to current OHV speed‑limit signage and said the existing 15‑mph limits "might not be held up in court," presenting options including a uniform 20‑mph speed limit on local streets. The committee discussed legal risk and enforcement practicality and expressed a preference for a single 20‑mph limit.
The committee also agreed to keep Sands Flat at a 15‑mph posted speed for OHVs, citing the area's trail character and existing expectations for riders. No formal motion or recorded roll‑call vote on the speed‑limit proposal was included in the minutes; the record states the group reached a consensus during discussion.
Next steps: staff and city traffic officials will pursue the administrative and signage work needed to implement the chosen approach and to confirm legal review of existing 15‑mph postings.
