ACTION REQUEST (Brief Summary)
Consider and take action on Ordinance No. 15-15, approving to alter the Prima Facie speed limits along SH 146 as indicated by a recent TxDOT Speed Study.
BACKGROUND
From time to time, TxDOT will perform Speed Studies on roadways under their jurisdiction. In this case, TxDOT looked at SH 146 from Texas City's northern city limits (in the Bacliff area), to Texas City's southern limits (just past DOW).
The completed Speed Zone Study is recommending changes to several segments of SH 146 within Texas City. The segments are shown on the attached aerial maps. Generally, the Speed Study is recommending a 5 mph reduction from the current speed limits.
