To date, all requests have singularly focused on using control devices ie. the <br />installation of a stop sign (or other such as speed bumps) to decrease speed. A handful of <br />Groveland residents recently voiced concern regarding volume increases related to development <br />in Blaine immediately to the north. <br />Speed & Safety: <br />There is irrefutable evidence that logically follows, the higher the speed, the greater chance of <br />injury or fatality to non -motorized traffic — pedestrians, bicycles: From a 2011 study by AAA: <br />Likelihood of fatality or severe injury <br />20mph =13% <br />30 mph = 40% <br />40 mph = 73% <br />With respect to Mounds View city roads, we have no documentation/evidence of a fatality on <br />any city road as far back as the records go. Likewise, but unlikely that we would have serious <br />injury records for the same data set. There have been serious injuries/fatalities on the County <br />Roads that traverse our community, the most recent being on Long Lake Road earlier this year. <br />From collective memory, one youth fatality in the past several decades when the youth <br />attempted to cross Mounds View Boulevard and was struck by a vehicle. <br />Speed/Traffic Studies: <br />Attached is a summary of the speed and traffic data collected in 2020 and 2022. We captured <br />data for Groveland north of MV Blvd. - 10 observations), Long Lake north of MV Blvd.-1 <br />
