The Rational Reasons to allow LEV's and NEV's and other Light Vehicles on our Roads can be simply stated, and Justify the changing of City Code and Ordinance and Street Signs to facilitate the use of Greener Vehicles in our City's.
For those Drivers in Traditional Vehicles the Slower Speed Limit:
1: Reduce the need to SPEED UP to the Maximum Speed Limit between 1/3 to 1/4 mile stop lights and Signs.
2: Reduce impact of higher speed accidents,(not only a medical issue but a financial savings).
For those Drivers in LEV's and NEV's
1: You would be able to go from the Soon to be Completed Senior Housing and all areas of Grand Terrace to the Retail Shopping areas in Grand Terrace via a LEV or NEV. Currently you would be in violation of the law because Barton Road and Mt. Vernon have posted speed limits of 40 MPH in the retail and even residential areas of these streets. Making the use of an LEV or NEV IMPOSSIBLE or at least IMPRACTICAL unless you are to be limited to your Quarter of the Town. (This may be needed as the Design is Short on Parking Spaces and LEV's are Smaller)
2: You would enjoy the ease of popping out to the store or restaurant and spending your money in town.
3: You will enjoy not polluting the air, and tearing up the roads the way heavy vehicles do. This is a savings for the LEV Driver and the City.
Your Businesses in Town, will enjoy a Captive Market. Well more captive. Folks will spend a buck on a hair cut in town rather than drive to Riverside for a Higher Styled Cut.
For US ALL
1: LEV's NEV's and E-Bikes Produce ZERO Air Pollution, cost less to purchase and run.
It would be interesting to see what City Council Members will add this LOCAL ENERGY and TRANSPORTATION ISSUE to their desired topics for why Voters should Support them.
