Whitney, City Manager City Hall post Office Box 1622 Corpus Christi, Texas 78403 Attn: Mr. C. E. McLeroy SUBJECT: Speed Zoning on I.H. 37 Dear Mr. Whitney: At it's meeting on December 16, 1967, the State Highway Commission passed'Minute No. 60251 which established the 65 m.p.h. speed limit on I.H. 37 from Station 59 +50 westerly to Station 259 +00 within the Corpus Christi city limits. This action was taken since state law does not authorize cities to es- tablish speed limits higher than 60 m.p.h. This action by the Commission legalizes the speed limit shown on the strip map transmitted in our letter of'October 11, 1967, and covered by City Ordinance No. 8641, dated October 25, 1967. You may want to discuss this portion of the City Ordinance with your legal department to be sure that all of the speed limits contained in it are legal. Sincerely, Travis A. Long District Engineer .
