Mullan Avenue to the we ....d ''::'; �s+,... �s..., Midway Dry delet Al . P 1 1 Acccss "D" delete :„ PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council this day of September, 2019, and approved by the Mayor this day of September, 2019. Quentin Hart, Mayor ATTEST: Kelley Felchle, City Clerk University Avenue Speed Limit Amendment Rationale 1.) From Hudson Road in Cedar Falls to Midway Drive, the entire length of University Avenue is set at 35 MPH. This includes business and residential areas including areas with frontage/access roadways. By keeping it 35 MPH throughout means continuity, consistency and more uniformity. 2.) The area from Fletcher Avenue to Ansborough Avenue is at least 90% residential with 7 side streets and 6 alleys that empty onto University Avenue. The alleys are the driveways (so to speak) for all the residents' garages that are accessed via the alleys. 3.) The area from Ansborough to Falls Avenue is fronted by businesses but backed by residential neighborhoods that will use University Avenue. The University corridor from Ansborough to the McDonald's intersection has 5 signalized intersections: Ansborough, Sager, Falls Avenue, the Casey's intersection and the McDonald's intersection. 4.) Statistics have told us that a car accident at 45 MPH creates more personal property damage and more severe personal bodily injury than at 35 MPH. 5.) A 45 MPH speed limit hypothetically means that some drivers will go 50 or even 55 MPH creating greater probabilities of more severe damage and personal injury should any accident occur at those speeds. 6.) A University Avenue design has reduced auto lanes from 6 to 4 (or 3 to 2 in each direction). This reduction has reduced from 2 to 1 the "escape lanes" for approaching traffic avoidance of a car turning onto University Avenue from a side street, alley or "red light turn". 7.) Should motorists wish to use faster (higher speed limit roadways), Greenhill at 45 MPH and the Expressway at 60 MPH are on either side of the University Avenue corridor. 8.) The 45 MPH speed limit seems inconsistent with our own established roadway speed limits exemplified by: a.) San Marnan Drive from LaPorte Road to Hammond Avenue is set at 35 MPH (with frontage/access roads); b.)Highway 63 (or Mullan and Logan Avenue) from Washington Street to Donald Street is 35 MPH. 9.) The City of Waterloo is constructing a "NEW" University Avenue with amenities, which will make it attractive to all users: motorists, pedestrians, transit users, bicyclists, shoppers, tourists, visitors, and all of US!!! 35 MPH allows all to better appreciate, take pride and enjoy the use of this corridor bridging Downtown Waterloo with our westerly neighbor, Cedar Falls. 10.) Rachel Neil, Edison Neighborhood Assoc. President and Mary Potter, Church Row Neighborhood Assoc. President both support setting the speed limit at 35 MPH.
