<br />• If a speed concern is still perceived, speed data will once again be collected to <br />determine if overall traffic speeds were reduced. <br /> <br />• Fire and Police departments will be consulted to provide input about any impacts they <br />may have experienced. Field observations and/or discussions may also be conducted <br />with transit, waste disposal, and other service providers to ensure that services <br />provided to the residents are not significantly impacted. <br /> <br />If the objectives are satisfied as evidenced in the evaluation, no further actions will be taken. If <br />objectives are not met, City staff may prepare alternatives and seek further direction from the <br />City Council. <br /> <br />Figure 1 at the end of this memorandum represents the decision diagram used in the speed <br />concern evaluation process. <br /> <br />TART LAKE ROAD REVIEW <br /> <br />Tart Lake Road from Otter Lake Road (CR 84) to 24th Avenue/Elmcrest Avenue has been studied <br />previously (September 2009) to address speed and “cut-through” traffic concerns. The results <br />of that study concluded that while speed issues were not documented, there is a perceived <br />speeding issue. The study recommended education to help change the perception. <br /> <br />The speeding along Tart Lake Road has again been identified as a potential issue. Based on this <br />concern updated speed and traffic counts were conducted the week of August 12, 2013. Three <br />locations were counted. <br />1. East of Otter Lake Road (CR 84) <br />2. Between Lacasse Drive and Stella Lane <br />3. West of 24th Avenue/Elmcrest Avenue <br />The updated Traffic Count and Speed Data included the following: <br /> <br />Location Direction Average <br />Daily Traffic <br />85% Speed <br />(MPH) <br />Vehicles over <br />35mph <br />East of Otter Lake Rd Westbound 1224 (1296) 32.5 (35.5) 54 (NA) <br />Eastbound 1274 (1301) 30.5 (30.4) 14 (NA) <br />Between Lacasse Dr and <br />Stella Ln <br />Westbound 634 (NA) 35.0 (NA) 63 (NA) <br />Eastbound 719 (NA) 34.5 (NA) 77 (NA) <br />West of 24th Ave/ <br />Elmcrest Ave <br />Westbound 481 (495) 29.5 (29.3) 2 (NA) <br />Eastbound 547 (502) 29.0 (29.7) 2 (NA) <br />XX (XX) – Current Study (2009 Study) <br /> <br />Speed Concern Evaluation Process 3 | Page
