<br />CITY COUNCIL <br />AGENDA ITEM 6H <br /> <br /> <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Diane Hankee, City Engineer <br /> <br />MEETING DATE: October 9, 2017 <br /> <br />TOPIC: Consider Resolution No. 17-116, Approving a Traffic Policy for <br />the City of Lino Lakes <br /> <br />VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 Vote Required <br /> <br /> <br />INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />Staff is requesting Council approval of a Traffic Policy for the City of Lino Lakes. <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 Of Uniform <br />Traffic Control Devices (MnMUTCD). <br /> <br />The City currently practices the procedures laid out in the Traffic Policy. Recently on Arlo Lane <br />staff used the methodology outlined in the Traffic Policy to evaluate a stop sign request and <br />speed analysis. <br /> <br />Adopting the policy will provide improved communication and methods for addressing traffic <br />related requests. The policy will also aid in educating those not familiar with traffic guidelines <br />and regulations. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 17-116 Approving a Traffic Policy for the City of <br />Lino Lakes. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br /> <br />1.
