Subject: Speed Zoning on SH 5 in Anna
Dear Ms. Evans:
Attached for your information and further handling is a revised print of the speed
zone study on SH 5 in the City of Anna which adds the new school north of town.
We believe the recommended speeds will correspond closely to the speeds at
which the normal and prudent driver will drive under the existing conditions.
Also attached for your information is a sample speed zone ordinance that might
serve as a guide In the preparation of your speed zone ordinance. We will also
furnish and install the necessary signs at the proper locations upon receipt of the
signed ordinance from the City of Anna establishing the new speed limits.
We appreciate the interest you have shown and the cooperation you have given.
If we may be of further assistance, please feel free to contact Mr. Phil Portillo at
the above address or by telephone at 214/320-6620.
