SUMMARY STATEMENT:
On October 20, 2011 City Council reviewed a speed study conducted by Public Works staff and directed staff to submit a formal request to the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) to
lower the speed limits on SH 55 from Boydstun Street to Club Hill Drive.
Public Works received a response from ITD indicating that based upon the speed study and the accident history that there was no need to reduce speed limits along this stretch of State
Highway. The city, as provided by Idaho Code, may establish a speed limit lower than recommended by ITD. If the city decides on a lower speed limit for the stretch of Idaho 55 that
lies within McCall city limits between Boydstun Street and Club Hill Drive, ITD will post the new speed zones as soon as a copy of the official city action is received by the district
office.
A map is attached indicating the existing and proposed speed zones.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Review the recommendation from Public Works on the new speed zones and direct staff to prepare an ordinance adopting the new speed zones.
