Roseville Public Works, Environment and <br />Transportation Commission <br />Agenda Item <br />Date: June 28, 2011 Item No: 6 <br />Item Description: Neighborhood Traffic Management Policy Discussion (continuation from <br />May) <br />Background: <br />The City Council and staff has received requests for various traffic calming measures over the <br />years including speed bumps, speed humps, narrowing of streets, additional trees, closures, and <br />striping to name a few. We currently have open consideration of speed tables on Dale Street, <br />study of connecting a cul de sac to a neighborhood, and a petition to study closing of a street on <br />one end to eliminate cut through traffic. Some cities around the country have neighborhood <br />traffic management policies that outline a process for these types of requests to be considered. <br />These policies also detail when various measures would be considered, installed, and how they <br />might be funded. Staff feels a similar policy should be developed for Roseville to guide the <br />consideration of these requests. We have found some policies on city websites around the <br />country and are including three for discussion purposes. <br />The Commission briefly discussed this item at the May meeting and requested a more thorough <br />review of the Blaine policy at the June meeting. Staff would like feedback on the components <br />that would be desirable in a Roseville policy so a draft policy can be written. Staff will comment <br />on the components we view as necessary at the meeting. <br />Recommended Action: <br />Discuss the desirable components of a neighborhood traffic management policy and provide staff <br />feedback for development of a draft policy. <br />Attachments: <br />A. City of Blaine Policy <br />B. Evanston Illinois Policy <br />C. City of Des Plaines Illinois Policy <br />
