observation, H2 - 1 observation, Silver Lake —1 observation, Red Oak — 3 observations, and <br />Spring Lake Road north of MV Blvd — 4 observations. <br />Silver Lake has the highest volume of county roads, which is not surprising. The average speed is <br />4 mph under the limit with the 85% percentile speed 5 miles over the speed limit (40 mph versus <br />the posted 35 mph). <br />H2 has similar speeds but Long Lake, which is posted at 30, has an 85% percentile 7 mph over. <br />In summary, when comparing Groveland, Red Oak, and Spring Lake Road, all have an average <br />speed just under the 30 mph speed limit with Red Oak being a few miles under. For the 85tn <br />percentile speed —the most accurate measure; Groveland averaged 36.34, Red Oak 32.5, and <br />Spring Lake Road 37.5. For volume, Spring Lake Road had the highest; twice that of Groveland or <br />Red Oak with Red Oak Second and Groveland last. <br />NOTE — The data was collected using our traffic/speed signs — trailer which are not <br />calibrated/perfect. The volume was collected by using equipment PW has. All collection was <br />done by the device with no witness. We consider the data usable, and more importantly <br />comparable — but the data is not validated. <br />Policy Issues for Council to Consider: <br />1. The "in -process" application from petitioner Maggie Aitkens is seeking council <br />reconsideration on the circular 500' signature requirement — seeking to amend the policy <br />to be linear; thus excluding addresses on adjacent or parallel streets. <br />2. Are traffic control devices the most effective option for Council (cities) to manage traffic? <br />Options Include: <br />a. Greater Enforcement <br />i. Cost/benefit issue of allocation of limited resources <br />b. Traffic Control Devices <br />i. Cost of fabrication and Installation <br />c. Lowering of Speed Limit <br />i. Cost of signage and installation and then subsequent enforcement <br />d. Installation of residential round -about <br />i. Land acquisition and cost of construction <br />e. Road reconstruction/enhancements <br />i. Delineators, bump outs, etc. — cost of construction <br />Next Steps: <br />1. Act on policy question of petitioner for linear vs. circular <br />2. If linear, petitions meet threshold and council can discuss installing stop signs. <br />3. Consider other options which may include desire to collect more data or conduct more <br />research. <br />
