1 infrastructure improvements or reconstructions. In addition, common requests for increased 2 traffic enforcement, and placement of the variable speed display equipment are commonly 3 I handled by Fe9blests to the City Traffic Safety Committee. 4 Review of requests will consist of comparing the identified street characteristics with the 5 following initial criteria: 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 The street in question must be classified as a I esal -local street in the City of Roseville T- FaRspeFtatie. O1aRComprehensive Plan (see Figure 4.10 from Roseville Transportation Plan in Appendix D). The requests must be related to speeding, excessive traffic volumes, crashes, cut - through traffic, truck traffic, non - motorized transportation safety or other related impacts on a local street. If it is determined that the request falls under the function of this plan, then Step 3 will be initiated. If not, the request shall be followed up as appropriate by the City Engineer as part of the Departments normal function, including coordination with Police, Fire, and Public Works Departments as needed. 16 Step 3 - Data Collection and Traffic Study 17 If it is determined that the request falls under the guidelines of the management program, the 18 City Engineer will conduct an engineering study of the street(s) or neighborhood. The study will 19 include the following actions: 20 1 Define PFejeGt Penefited Area -/ Impacted Area 21 The definition of the 9;ej94#- enefited area and impacted areas sets up the project boundaries 22 and will be used to determine neighborhood support during the petition process and for the 23 assessment process if a strategy is implemented. 24 Data Collection 25 Traffic data collection will include (as appropriate based on identified problem) one or more of 26 the following: 27 • Traffic volume counts (24 hour counts in 15 minute increments, truck volume counts) 28 • Non motorized transportation counts 29 • Speed surveys 30 • Cut - through traffic estimates 31 • Crash information (three years minimum- 5 years recommended - JD) 32 • Roadway Geometry (sight distance, lane configuration, etc.) 33 • Land Use Mix (density of residential and presence of sidewalks, pedestrian generators 34 such as schools, parks, bus routes, unique features) 35 Evaluation of Traffic Data 36 From the data collected the traffic problems associated with the neighborhood street can be 37 documented. The documentation will be valuable in the development of possible traffic 38 management strategies. 39 From the data collected the City will also be able to rank the potential projects for further study. 40 Table 1 provides the ranking criteria. This ranking will be beneficial if the number of request 41 submitted is beyond the fiscal and staffing ability of the city. By ranking requests based on the 42 criteria set forth in Table 1, the city can prioritize the projects to focus funding accordingly. TABLE Ranking of Traffic Management Requests
