<br />WS – Item 3 <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item No. 3 <br /> <br /> <br />Date: October 2, 2017 <br /> <br />To: City Council <br /> <br />From: Diane Hankee, City Engineer <br /> <br />Re: Traffic Policy <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />Staff established an internal Traffic Safety Committee in 2013 to address traffic related issues <br />within the City. The committee includes staff from the Engineering, Community Development, <br />Public Services and Public Safety departments. <br /> <br />To assist with the review of traffic related issues, the committee has drafted a Traffic Policy <br />document. The purpose of the document is to establish uniform processes and procedures for <br />evaluating speed, safety and signage requests. The policy is based on the guidelines and <br />recommendations contained in the most current version of the Minnesota Manual On Uniform <br />Traffic Control Devices (MnMUTCD). <br /> <br />The City currently practices the procedures laid out in the Traffic Policy. Adopting the policy <br />will provide improved communication and methods when addressing traffic related requests. <br />The policy will also aid in educating those not familiar with traffic guidelines and regulations. <br /> <br />Requested Council Direction <br /> <br />1. Provide feedback on the Traffic Policy. <br />2. Direct staff to place on the October 9, 2017 City Council meeting for consideration. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />1. Traffic Policy <br />
