Removal - Existing traffic management measures and /or measures installed under the Program may be requested to be removed. The request for removal of a project will be processed generally using the same procedures as outline in this program requiring written request and appropriate neighborhood approval. 5.0 Procedural Details Step 1 - Identify Candidate Streets /Neighborhoods Residents may identify candidate streets or areas for traffic improvements. Some request may be handled by phone or verbally from residents to City Staff, which could result in increased police enforcement or placement of the City's speed display equipment. Any requests for permanent traffic management strategies require a written application with 50% of the project neighborhood signing the application. Appendix A provides a sample petition and request letter. Application of these strategies on collector or arterial streets is excluded and not included in this process. Step 2 - Preliminary Screening and Evaluation The City Engineer will review requests to determine whether or not they should be handled as part of normal traffic engineering procedures or police enforcement of the City, or if they qualify for consideration under the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program. Some requests may be able to be handled within the currerii I Program such as planned infrastructure improvements or reconstructions. In addition, common requests for increased traffic enforcement, and placement of the variable speed display equipment are commonly handled by requests to the City Traffic Safety CommNIM Review of requests will consist of comparing the identified street characteristics with the following initial criteria: • The street in question must be classified as a Local (residential) street in the City of Roseville Transportation. 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 residential 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. Step 3 - Data Collection and Traffic Study If it is determined that the request falls under the guidelines of the management program, the City Engineer will conduct an engineering study of the street(s) or neighborhood. The study will include the following actions:
