124 Mr. Freihammer explained what Falcon Heights did was to post every street. St. 125 Anthony posted a sign when going into the city at the major entry roads stating the 126 city-wide speed limit on local roads. He believed New Brighton is doing the same 127 thing as St. Anthony. He reviewed some of the other cities that have changed the 128 speed limit on local roads. He noted if Roseville does decide to move forward the 129 City probably would keep signage where it currently is and not add any more signs. 130 131 Member Cicha indicated he viewed a speed limit change as more of a long-term 132 policy and thoughtfulness from the community. He explained as seen from data, 133 people do not instantly change their driving style or speed, even with a speed limit 134 posted and he did not know if there was any way to change that, but he did think 135 there are benefits in the long term once younger people start driving. He thought 136 Roseville could get feedback from cities that have had the speed limit change for a 137 year or more, but he was not sure it would show a lot of change, 138 139 Chair Ficek agreed with Member Cicha. He asked the Commission what options 140 the City could take moving forward. He reviewed the options staff has given with 141 the Commission. 142 143 Mr. Freihammer indicated if the City did a citywide speed limit change it is a pretty 144 simple process, if that becomes the recommendation. If the City does something 145 that is by type, then he would recommend doing a study to document that and a 146 little more work involved. 147 148 Chair Ficek thought the speed limit map was a good starting point. 149 150 Mr. Freihammer agreed and noted that is what some of the other cities started with. 151 152 Chair Ficek thought the PWETC could have an open house, if needed. 153 154 Mr. Freihammer indicated if the City had something to present there could be a 155 meeting to present what is proposed for resident input. 156 157 The Commission discussed what should be included in the information to residents 158 to respond to including costs, speed study, chart showing risk of death or serious 159 injury, and the police enforcement report summarization. 160 161 Member Luongo thought this is a lot of information and people are not going to 162 read it if there is too much so she would like for the information to be organized 163 and condensed if possible. 164 165 8.
