La Mirada~After a recent city traffic and engineering survey, and a recommendation from the City's Public Safety Commission, the La Mirada City Council adopted a resolution with an ordinance that will change the speed limits for two streets in La Mirada.

A 35 mile per hour speed limit is now set for Alicante Road, between Santa Gertrudes and Hillsborough Drive. Previously at 40 miles per hour, neighborhood and pedestrian activity justify the decrease, according to a city report.

Also, 35 miles per hour limit will now be the set limit on Phoebe Avenue (also down five), between Alondra Boulevard and Firestone Boulevard, this decrease attributed to the collision rate reflected in the study, and increased traffic exiting from driveways at slower speeds (trucks).
