Currently, Occidental Avenue between Barroilhet Avenue and El Camino Real is legislated at a 30 mile per hour speed.

This reduction appears justified and should be implemented. Section 2. Subsection 13.24.015 is amended to read as follows: 13.24.015 Thirty miles per hour. No person shall drive a vehicle upon any of the following designated streets at a speed greater than thirty miles per hour: (a) Peninsula Avenue between El Camino Real and California Drive; and (b) Hillside Drive between Alvarado Avenue and El Camino Real.
