CASE #~, <br /> <br />UPDATE ON 169TM AVENUE AND NEON STREET <br /> By: Steven J Jankowski, Ci~' Engineer <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />At its September meeting the Public Works Committee considered what measures might <br />be undertaken to alleviate a problem which was being, experienced at the corner of 169th <br />Avenue and Neon Street with vehicles sliding off the roadway. As a part of the solution <br />thc Public Works Committee directed that the Police department speed trailer be placed <br />near the intersection to alert the neighborhood of the concern of excessive speed w?fich is <br />contributing to the problem. The speed trailer was placed at the intersection last week. <br />Attached to this case is a copy of the report prepai-ed by the computer capabilities of the <br />trailer software. Although this report represents a twelve hour snap shot of the <br />intersection, it does appear only a small fraction of the motorists are exceeding <br />reasonable speeds. Only tlm'ee of 379 (less than 1%) vehicles were'found to. be traveling <br />at a speed greater than 40 miles per hour. The s~tdy also shows the maximum travel <br />speed of 87% of the motorists is 33 miles per hour or lower. The results of this speed <br />study might suggest that law enforcement be focused on the time periods shown to <br />exhibit the excessive speeds. <br /> <br />A ctio n: <br /> <br />None required. <br /> <br />Reviewed By: <br />D/rector of Public Works/Fire Chief <br />Assistant Public Works Director/PrinciPal Engineer <br />Police Chief <br /> <br />PW: 10/19/04 <br /> <br />13 <br /> <br /> <br />
