There are actually 15 lots, one of which is not yet built out, plus 4 units on Grace Lane across from the
church. Plus, a while back, we heard that 14 (?) houses are going to be built on the property next to lot 15 (the
last house on the south end of Grace Lane closest to St. Pat's school). Also, on Attachment 3 (Survey Segments
and Adjacent Parcel Lane Use), it appears that the area on south end of Grace Lane is designated as multi-
family medium-high density.
Perhaps a case can be made that the as yet unbuilt housing off Grace Lane as indicated above justifies Grace
Lane being designated a residential street. Also, the homeowners on Grace Lane were not informed (i.e., in the
disclosures) by the realtor/developer/city when they purchased the houses, that Grace Lane was designated a
collector road, nor was it disclosed there was a possibility that a new freeway offramp would divert traffic up
Grace Lane. I would guess that a number of the home/lot buyers would not have purchased their Grace Lane
houses if that information had been disclosed.
Please note that the latest speed survey was conducted during summer when school is not in session,nor was it
conducted during the time when people would be commuting to and from work. Parents transporting their kids
to and from St. Pat's are the worst when it comes to speeding on Grace Lane. Plus people coming home from
work at 5:00-6:00 are always in a hurry to get home and travel at high speeds on Grace Lane. So it seems to me
that if the survey had been conducted during the school year and during rush hour that the speed limit on Grace
Lane would probably be 45 mph and people would be driving 55 on Grace Lane. Something needs to be done
to reduce the speed limit and the speeds at which people drive on Grace Lane. Grace Lane is a hill with several
curves, so the line of sight is not straight thus reducing visibility. I shutter to think what the liability would be
for the city if a child gets hit by a speeding car and killed on Grace Lane if nothing significant is done to curb
the speeding.
Sincerely,
Claudine Lingo

Attached please find the Appendix A and Appendix C as requested.
I also understand you had a question regarding the status of Grace Lane. We have reviewed the information
and the vehicle code and can offer our findings.
1
1 Grace Lane is to be considered a Residential Collector.
2 Although the one quarter mile section has 13 units the overall segment of the road is a half mile
and would require over 26 units to qualify for a speed reduction. In this case there are only 14 units
in the half mile and therefore does not qualify.
3 The 85th percentile speed was 37.15 mph. Current speed limit is 35 mph and is recommended
to remain at 35 mph.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
