Summary of Proceedings

Traffic Commission Meeting – September 25, 2025

Public Comments & Testimony

  • Mike Brackline (resident of 713 Salem Drive) voiced support for speed bumps on Salem Drive but questioned the proposed placement, suggesting additional bumps or adjustments to spacing between Evergreen and Alta to reduce the gap that could allow acceleration.

  • Item 6 – Lamadre Way (Torrey Pines Drive to Jones Boulevard): Robinson reported a 25 mph limit, average speed 36 mph, 85th percentile 45 mph (20 mph over limit), and 5 % cut‑through traffic.

Motion by Commissioner Stamper, seconded by Commissioner Emmanuel; all 'aye'.

Key Outcomes
