Due to SLP road being under construction, it is difficult to determine if traffic was pushed from one <br />street to the next or if Groveland was used more due to the construction on SLP. <br /> <br /> <br />Impact Studies: <br />Staff spent a measure of time researching data delineating the difference of consequence to the human <br />body if impacted by a car going X speed. Logically, the higher the speed, the greater the chance of <br />bodily harm. Like all things googled, volumes of data – 60,400,000 hits. In short, there is a clear <br />relationship between speed and injury/death. <br /> <br />Lowering speed limits by 5 mph (from 30 to 25), theoretically would reduced the average speed from <br />present to 5mph less. That difference would reduce the chance of serious injury somewhere between <br />10% to 25%; depending on which study. <br /> <br />Next Step: <br />Council needs to digest the data and information received to date, determine if more data collection is <br />needed/warranted, make some determination regarding stop sign experiment, and discuss changing <br />speed limit city wide. There is no immediate decision or action needed, rather an introduction of the <br />issue. Don will have signage costs estimates at the meeting <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
