Mr. Freihammer explained what Falcon Heights did was to post every street. St. <br />Anthony posted a sign when going into the city at the major entry roads stating the <br />city-wide speed limit on local roads. He believed New Brighton is doing the same <br />thing as St. Anthony. He reviewed some of the other cities that have changed the <br />speed limit on local roads. He noted if Roseville does decide to move forward the <br />City probably would keep signage where it currently is and not add any more signs. <br />Member Cicha indicated he viewed a speed limit change as more of a long-term <br />policy and thoughtfulness from the community. He explained as seen from data, <br />people do not instantly change their driving style or speed, even with a speed limit <br />posted and he did not know if there was any way to change that, but he did think <br />there are benefits in the long term once younger people start driving. He thought <br />Roseville could get feedback from cities that have had the speed limit change for a <br />year or more, but he was not sure it would show a lot of change, <br />Chair Ficek agreed with Member Cicha. He asked the Commission what options <br />the City could take moving forward. He reviewed the options staff has given with <br />the Commission. <br />Mr. Freihammer indicated if the City did a citywide speed limit change it is a pretty <br />simple process, if that becomes the recommendation. If the City does something <br />that is by type, then he would recommend doing a study to document that and a <br />little more work involved. <br />Chair Ficek thought the speed limit map was a good starting point. <br />Mr. Freihammer agreed and noted that is what some of the other cities started with. <br />Chair Ficek thought the PWETC could have an open house, if needed. <br />Mr. Freihammer indicated if the City had something to present there could be a <br />meeting to present what is proposed for resident input. <br />The Commission discussed what should be included in the information to residents <br />to respond to including costs, speed study, chart showing risk of death or serious <br />injury, and the police enforcement report summarization. <br />Member Luongo thought this is a lot of information and people are not going to <br />read it if there is too much so she would like for the information to be organized <br />and condensed if possible. <br />8. Winter Plowing Update <br />Public Works Director Freihammer gave a presentation about winter maintenance <br />done by the City of Roseville, including plowing of streets and pathways. <br />Page 4 of 5 <br />
