Data Collection 27 28 Traffic data collection will include (as appropriate based on identified problem) one or 29 more ofthe following: 30 Traffic volume counts (24 hour counts in 15 minute increments, truck volume 31 counts) 32 Non motorized transportation counts 33 Speed surveys 34 Cut-through Trafficestimates 35 Crash information (three years minimum- 5 years recommended) 36 Roadway Geometry (sight distance, lane configuration, etc.) 37 Land Use Mix (density of residential and presence of sidewalks, pedestrian 38 generators suchas schools, parks, bus routes, unique features) Evaluation of Traffic Data 39 40 From the data collected the traffic problems associated with the neighborhood street can 41 bedocumented. The documentation will be valuable in the development of possible 42 trafficmanagement strategies. 43 From the data collected the City will also be able to rank the potential projects for further 44 study.Table 1 provides the ranking criteria. This ranking will be beneficial if the number 45 of requestsubmitted is beyond the fiscal and staffing ability of the city. By ranking 6 City Council Review Draft- 6/29/12
