Page 2 of 2 <br /> <br />Based on this information, two options are being considered along Lake Johanna Boulevard <br />should the City Council wish to pursue the use of radar speed display signs. <br />Option 1: Purchase of a trailer mounted radar speed display sign. A program schedule <br />could be developed to allow the City Council and/or staff to identify key locations within <br />the City to deploy the trailer. This option would provide benefit to Lake Johanna <br />Boulevard and other areas of concern throughout the year, while avoiding potential <br />problems with long term disregard for the signs associated with permanent mounted <br />feedback signs. <br />Option 2: Purchase permanent mounted speed display signs. The City could purchase <br />and install two pole mounted speed display signs for permanent installation along Lake <br />Johanna Boulevard, with one sign installed in each direction at selected locations. <br />If the City Council determines that a radar speed display device should be purchased, staff <br />recommends that the device include the capability to record and log speed data. This data should <br />be reviewed on a monthly basis, or location basis for trailer mounted applications, to determine <br />and monitor average and 85th percentile speeds in relation to the posted speed limit. The data <br />would assist in addressing resident concerns regarding the actual severity of speeding traffic at a <br />given location. <br />Staff is seeking direction from the City Council regarding the following items. <br />1. Should staff continue to investigate potential use of radar speed display signs along this <br />County roadway? <br />2. If the Council supports the use of speed display signs on Lake Johanna Boulevard, would <br />the Council support the purchase of a trailer mounted unit in lieu of permanent signs? <br /> <br />Budget Impact <br /> <br />Staff obtained price quotes for equipment associated with both options described above. <br />Installation costs are a preliminary estimate at this time. The estimated total costs are <br />summarized in the following table. <br /> <br />Option Est. Equipment <br />Cost <br />Est. Installation <br />Cost <br />Estimated Total <br />Cost <br />Trailer Mounted Sign $7,200 $0 $7,200 <br />Pole Mounted Signs (2) $7,050 $2,600 $9,650 <br /> <br /> <br />Attachment <br /> <br />None
