dedicated traffic safety officer for three years. This is a highly competitive process <br />which awards announced in August. <br />Passive enforcement or portable radar has shown to have temporary calming effects. <br />A full size trailer that collects data is $15,000 and requires staff time to locate and <br />retrieve along with downloading an analyzing data. Pole mounted devices start at <br />$3,000 and double that depending on options. Again, these have shown temporary <br />relief but left over time, become less effective. <br />Stop signs are a common suggestion amongst upset residents but like speed bumps, <br />do not enjoy universal support. Engineering standards require a set number of vehicles <br />per, a four way intersection, and collision data to support installation that if challenged, <br />will uphold the test that courts have rendered decisions on. Per our contract engineer <br />at Stantec, most stop sign requests meeting engineering standards. Prior to an <br />installation, a neighborhood meeting should be conducted to measure the level of <br />support and opposition to a stop sign. Additionally, engineering data suggests that stop <br />signs placed in a manner inconsistent with driver familiarity and observation will, over <br />time, the experience diminished compliance and effectiveness. <br />A combination of some or all is also an option that should be explored based upon the <br />specific facts and circumstances to each situation. Stantec has provided a guide to <br />traffic safety concerns which I felt was worth copying and providing given the breadth of <br />options detailed and the subsequent analysis of their respective effectiveness. <br />Recommendation: <br />Discuss and determine what steps are best for the specific issues on Groveland and H2 <br />and utilize those for guidelines should future complaints arise. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />rl <br />(A /b )Alt� <br />Nyl ikr? nd <br />Cit Administrator <br />
