1 for consideration under the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program. Some requests may 2 be able to be handled within the current Capital Improvement Program such as planned 3 infrastructure improvements or reconstructions. In addition, common requests for increased 4 traffic enforcement, and placement of the variable speed display equipment are commonly 5 I handled by Fequests to he City Traffic Safety Committee. 6 Review of requests will consist of comparing the identified street characteristics with the 7 following initial criteria: 8 • The street in question must be classified as a I enal -local street in the City of Roseville 9 T- FaRspeFtatieR PWR (see FigbiFe4.4 -0 a.0m o T- FaRspeFtatieR Pla . Appendix CS 10 for roadway jurisdiction map). 11 • The requests must be related to speeding, excessive traffic volumes, crashes, cut - 12 through traffic, truck traffic, non - motorized transportation safety or other related impacts 13 on a local street. 14 If it is determined that the request falls under the function of this plan, then Step 3 will be 15 initiated. If not, the request shall be followed up as appropriate by the City Engineer as part of 16 the Departments normal function, including coordination with Police, Fire, and Public Works 17 Departments as needed. 18 Step 3 - Data Collection and Traffic Study 19 If it is determined that the request falls under the guidelines of the management program, the 20 City Engineer will conduct an engineering study of the street(s) or neighborhood. The study will 21 include the following actions: 22 Define PFejeGt Penefited Area -/ Impacted Area 23 The definition of the 9;ej94#- enefited area and impacted areas sets up the project boundaries 24 and will be used to determine neighborhood support during the petition process and for the 25 assessment process if a strategy is implemented. 26 Data Collection 27 Traffic data collection will include (as appropriate based on identified problem) one or more of 28 the following: 29 • Traffic volume counts (24 hour counts in 15 minute increments, truck volume counts) 30 • Non motorized transportation counts 31 • Speed surveys 32 • Cut - through traffic estimates 33 • Crash information (three years minimum- 5 years recommended) 34 • Roadway Geometry (sight distance, lane configuration, etc.) 35 • Land Use Mix (density of residential and presence of sidewalks, pedestrian generators 36 such as schools, parks, bus routes, unique features) 37 Evaluation of Traffic Data 38 From the data collected the traffic problems associated with the neighborhood street can be 39 documented. The documentation will be valuable in the development of possible traffic 40 management strategies. 41 From the data collected the City will also be able to rank the potential projects for further study. 42 Table 1 provides the ranking criteria. This ranking will be beneficial if the number of request 43 submitted is beyond the fiscal and staffing ability of the city. By ranking requests based on the 44 criteria set forth in Table 1, the city can prioritize the projects to focus funding accordingly. 11/15/11
