RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council accept the work performed by R.C. Becker & Son, Inc. on the speed hump
installations along Avenida Rotella, Avenida Rondel, Avenida Ronada, Avenida Crescenta,

BACKGROUND
In late 1997 and early 1998, the board members of the homeowners associations (HOA's) of both
Old Orchard I and II requested that the City investigate and evaluate both neighborhoods for
traffic -related issues, including speeding and cut -through traffic.
In 1999, the City developed a traffic -calming plan that was put to a vote by both HOA's. A
majority of the members of both HOA's participated in the vote. The results were as follows:
• Old Orchard I 51 percent yes (74 percent of members voted)
• Old Orchard II 62 percent yes (67 percent of members voted)
On September 12, 2000, the City Council awarded the contract for construction services to
R.C. Becker & Son, Inc. The traffic -calming project involved the installation of speed humps along
Avenida Rotella, Avenida Rondel, Avenida Ronada, Avenida Crescenta, Avenida Entrana, and
Avenida Cappela, and a traffic circle at Tournament Road/Avenida Crescenta (see Exhibit "A.")
This project was completed to the City Engineer's satisfaction on February 16, 2001, and was
within budget.
Per direction by the City Council, the traffic -calming project is a pilot program with a duration
of not less than 18 months from the date of project acceptance. After the 18 -month period (after
November 2002), the City will perform traffic studies to establish the merits of the program and
potential applications in other parts of the City.
