Dear Mr. Telep: -
A speed study was conducted on September 4, 1969 and September 5, 1969 on
County Road #58 from 35th Avenue to just west of the American Legion.
There were three points of Study at the following locations; .29 miles
west of 35th Avenue, 35 miles east of County Road #33, and .28 miles west
of County Road #33.
As a result of the study I recommend the speed be set as follows:
Westbound traffic: From 35th Avenue to spproximately .10
miles east of County Road #33 - 50 miles per hour. From
approximately .10 miles east of County Road #33 to approximately
.65 miles west of County Road #33 - 40 miles per hour.
Eastbound traffic: From approximately .85 miles west of
County Road #33 to just west of County Road #33 - 40 miles
per hour. From just west of County Road #33 to 35th Avenue
50 miles per hour.
I will be glad to discuss any questions you may have regarding this
study.
Very truly yours,
