REQUEST FOR ACTION <br />To Item Number <br />Cih~ Council 5.7. <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br />Public Works June 2, 2008 Terry IV4aurer, Pub&c Works Director <br />Item Description Reviewed by <br />Trott Brook Parkway Traffic Cahming Lori ohnson, Cita.ldministratox <br /> Reviewed by <br />Action Requested <br />Staff seeks direction concerning implementation of traffic calming on Trott Brook Parkway. <br />BackgroundlDiscussion <br />Late h 2007, the Cia- Council received a petition from the'1'xott Brook Patens neighborhood <br />asking for speed abatement measures to be implemented on Trott Brook Parl~va5-. ° t die e~pril <br />14, 2008 City Council workshop, we presented several different options fox proposed traffic <br />calving implementation. ?mot that point in time, the City Council directed us to come back with <br />more speciFic information and cost regarding striping of "Trott Brook Parkway and possible <br />installation of driver feedback speed lrnit signs. The City Council also gave direction for staff to <br />prepare a draft traffic calving policy. ~7ork on that policy is continuing and that document will <br />be preserved at a liter date. <br />Trott Brook Parl~vay is a slightly wider roadway than typical, being 38 feet wide, to accommodate <br />heavier traffic movements to and from CS1~H 12 and~or CSAH 13. The striping proposal would <br />place a centerline skip stripe along Trott Brook Parkway. Also, the edge Ines evould have a sold <br />white stnpe delncadng the navel lanes and idcntifynrg the shoulder uea. Trott Brook Parkway is <br />approximately 1-1 voles long from CSAH 13 to CS1yH 12. To place these three stripes along the <br />total length of the roadway would cost approximately $2,000. It is important to note drat once <br />the roadway is sniped, it will need to be re-striped on a periodic basis. 'Typically, we get <br />approximately three years ont of a sriphg before it has to be redone. <br />The driver feedback speed llvit signs are approximately $10,000 each installed. If we proceed <br />with the l2stallation of these signs, it would be out proposal that the city would purchase them <br />directly from 3M and hire a contractor to install the signs permanently at each end of Trott Brook <br />Parkway. <br />Financial Impact <br />To install two driver feedback speed litmit signs and vo totally snipe Trott Brook Parkway would <br />cost approximately $22,000. Staff s recommendation is to use Street Improvement Resei~e Ponds <br />for an~~ or all of the traffic calming improvements discussed in this memo. <br />Attachments -None <br />
