Page 2 of 3 <br /> <br />Proposed City-Wide 25 MPH Speed Limit Entry Signs <br />With a city-wide reduction of the speed limit to 25 MPH, city-wide 25 MPH speed limit signs <br />should be placed at appropriate City entry points to provide this information to as many vehicles <br />as possible. Reviewing City entrance points and significant street sections, approximately 28 <br />City-Wide 25 MPH speed limit signs should be installed. Final numbers and locations will be <br />verified after site visits and follow up coordination discussions with Ramsey County Traffic and <br />Sheriff’s office. <br /> <br />City-wide speed limit signs have more information than standard speed limit signs (and could <br />have a city logo, depending on how Council would like the signs designed) and are more <br />expensive that standard signs. <br /> Twenty-eight City Wide 25 MPH Speed Limit Signs, with posts and foundations <br /> Estimated at $75/sign installation <br /> Total Sign Cost ~ $2,100 <br /> City Crew time – 56 hours @ $60/crew <br /> Total Costs ~ $5,500 <br /> <br />Proposed Speed Limit Signs for City and MSA Roads with Insufficient Signing <br />Per the State Statute, the City doesn’t have the authority to reduce speed limits on MSA roads. <br />Since the MSA default speed limit is 30 MPH, not all have 30 MPH speed limit signs. With the <br />city-wide speed limit reduction to 25 MPH, some additional 30 MPH should be installed to <br />reinforce their actual speed limits. We have identified approximately eight locations on MSA <br />streets that should receive these additional 30 MPH signs along Parkshore Dr, Valentine Ave, <br />Dunlap St, Glenpaul Ave, and Ingerson Rd. <br /> Eight 30 MPH Speed Limit Signs, with posts and foundations <br />Estimated $60/sign installation <br /> Total Sign Cost = $480 <br /> City Crew Time – 16 hours @ $60/crew <br /> Total Costs ~ $1,500 <br /> <br /> <br />Proposed 25 MPH Speed Limit Signs on City Streets <br />City streets with 30 MPH speed limit signs also need to be replaced with 25 MPH signs. A total <br />of 25 signs have been identified as needing to be replaced. Replacement should typically be the <br />sign only, depending on the condition of the post and foundations. <br /> Twenty-five 25 MPH signs (sign only) <br /> Estimated at $40 per sign <br /> Total Sign Cost - $1,000 <br /> City Crew Time – 48 hours @ $60/crew <br /> Total Costs ~ $4,000 <br /> <br />Removal of Existing 30 MPH Signs on City Roads <br />Several city owned streets have 30 MPH signs installed. These signs will need to be removed to <br />be compliant with the new city-wide speed limit. Eight 30 MPH are existing and will be <br />removed, unless it is further determined they should be replaced with a new 25 MPH sign
