DEBERRY _ <br />IN REPLY REFER TO <br />FILE NO. <br />Hon. J. J. Meza <br />Mayor, City of La Porte <br />P. 0. Box 1115 <br />La Porte, Texas 77571 <br />Dear Sir: <br />• A speed zone study, including the collection and review of <br />topography and radar speed meter data, was completed for the <br />recently built Spur 498 in La Porte. Our findings show the <br />area to have very little development and a low vehicle volume. <br />It is our recommendation that this section of roadway be zoned <br />at the Statewide maximum speed of 55 miles per hour. We will <br />continue to monitor this roadway and should conditions change, <br />s a restudy will be made for possible reduction of the zone. <br />Attached are one print of speed zone strip map drawing No. 3461 <br />and three copiesof a prepared speed zone ordinance containing <br />the recommended zoning. If you concur, please furnish this <br />office with two copies of your speed zone ordinance. <br />The State will furnish, install, and maintain the necessary <br />' signs for posting the recommended speed zone.' <br />Yours very truly <br />+ + R <br />Omer F. Poorman <br />District Engineer <br />District No. 12 <br />Attachments <br />
