Dave Ahrens, P.E. <br />City Engineer <br />City of Lino Lakes <br />April 18, 1996 <br />Page 5 <br />SCHOOL SPEED ZONE <br />A school speed zone can be put in place by the agency that owns the roadway for which the <br />speed zone is being considered. In this case, the City would have the authority to provide <br />a reduced speed for the area of Elm Street that is adjacent to the school property. <br />However, it is recommended and more prudent to provide design features that would <br />minimize the need for the speed zone. Design features that provide for improved safety in <br />school zones include no parking on the street, proper signs and placement, turn lanes, and <br />proper sight distances. The recommendation would be to provide a design appropriate for <br />the existing speed limit. If safety concerns are present after the school has opened, a speed <br />zone may be implemented at that time. <br />Attachment <br />ce <br />H:\5666.00\CIVIL\CORRPS\041896.DA <br />
