Hanson, City Administrator <br />City of Little Canada <br />515 Little Canada Road <br />Little Canada, Minnesota 55117 -1600 <br />Re: Speed Zoning - City of Little Canada <br />Country Drive <br />Dear Mr. Hanson: <br />• <br />",„ <br />A speed zoning study for Country Drive between Little Canada Road and Rice Street has <br />been completed as requested in your August 4 letter. Based on the investigation results <br />and as Ed Brown discussed with you previously, we have recommended authorization of <br />the following speed limit for Country Drive: <br />35 mph - between the intersection with Little Canada Road and the intersection <br />with Rice Street <br />The proposed speed limit is currently being reviewed by our Office of Traffic Engineering <br />in Roseville which will make the final speed limit determination. You will be informed of <br />their decision. <br />Before posting any authorized speed limits, we recommend a review of Country Drive to <br />assure that all needed signing is in place, visible, in good condition, and in conformance <br />with the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Special attention should <br />be given to warning and advisory speed signing for locations where the regulatory speed <br />limit cannot be safely maintained. <br />It is of concern that speed limits authorized for Country Drive as the result of two previous <br />studies in 1986 and 1992 have not been posted. We have the responsibility to perform <br />speed zoning studies upon request for all roads in an eight county area, and the <br />resources available to us are limited. <br />An Equal Opportunity Employer <br />Page 47 <br />
