4 <br /> RESOLUTION NO. 871 <br /> A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF THE <br /> TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS URGING THE SANTA CLARA COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, THE CITY OF LOS ALTOS, AND THE <br /> CITY OF PALO ALTO TO CONSIDER THE REDUCTION OF MOTOR <br /> VEHICLE SPEED ON THE FOOTHILL EXPRESSWAY <br /> WHEREAS, the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors, the City of <br /> Los Altos, the City of Palo Alto, and the City of the Town of Los Altos <br /> Hills, exercise separate police jurisdictions over motor vehicle speed limits <br /> on the Foothill Expressway; and <br /> WHEREAS, the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors, the City of <br /> Los Altos, the City of Palo Alto, and the City of the Town of Los Altos Hills <br /> have each approved the Arterial Bikeways Plan for Santa Clara County as it <br /> provides for bicycle traffic on the Foothill Expressway; and <br /> WHEREAS, the introduction of manually propelled light-weight vehicles <br /> upon a high speed, high volume motoring thoroughfare, where separation of <br /> traffic class will be defined by a painted line, is in itself a patent danger <br /> to life; and <br /> WHEREAS, the air pressure, turbulence and atmospheric vortex generated <br /> in advance and in the wake of a rapidly moving large body in close proximity <br /> to a relatively stationary small body, seriously impedes the ability of the <br /> smaller body to retain stability and maneuverability; and <br /> WHEREAS, large trucks, busses, coaches, vans and trailers commonly <br /> traverse the Foothill Expressway at the posted speed limit of 45 miles per <br /> hour, and quite frequently, in excess of such speed; and <br /> WHEREAS, the bicycle abroad in such traffic will be continually <br /> subjected to sudden and unexpected massive air pressures, wake turbulence <br /> and vortex effects; <br />
