Article XVIII of Ordinance 491, adopted the 7th day of October, 1963, is hereby added to read as follows: ARTICLE XVIII - Approval of Engineering and Traffic Survey Justifying Prima Facie Speed Limits; Determin- ation and Declaration of Prima Facie Speed Limits. The Council hereby approves and adopts the Engineering and Traffic Survey dated January 2, 1980, prepared by TJKM Transportation Consultants of Walnut Creek, California, for the streets and portions thereof set forth therein, copies of which are on file in the offices of the City Clerk and Director of Public Services available for public inspection. The Council finds and determines that said survey was conducted in accordance with the Vehicle Code of the State of California and methods of conducting engineering and traffic surveys prescribed by the Director of Transportation of the Business CENTRAL RECORDS 1 and Transportation Agency of the State of California, and that said survey justifies the speed limits recommended for the streets and portions of streets therein described and the prima facie speed limits set forth in Section 18.1 through 18.6 hereof. The Council further finds and determines upon the basis of said survey that a speed greater than twenty-five (25) miles per hour will facilitate the orderly movement of vehicular traffic and will be reasonable and safe upon the streets or portions of streets designated in Sections 18.2, 18.3, 18.4, 18.5, 18.6 and declares that the prima facie speed limit of said street or portion thereof is the most appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic and is reasonable and safe.
