RE:	February 7, 2005 Traffic Safety Commission Meeting

At the February 7, 2005 Traffic Safety Commission meeting the following traffic calming devices were recommended to be installed:

TSC Item No. 2:  Installation of a pedestrian refuge island on 9^th Street at Schwarz Road. (9-0)

TSC Item No. 3:  Installation of speed cushions along Bobwhite Drive between Bob Billings Parkway and George Williams Way.  (8-1)

Again, the City has approved several other traffic calming devices that have no available funding.  The estimated cost of these devices is:

TSC Item No. 2:  Pedestrian Island - $10,000

TSC Item No. 3:  Three speed cushions at $15,000/each = $45,000

Staff is preparing a report on approved traffic calming devices and construction estimates.  The Harvard Road Traffic Calming Project bids March 8, 2005 and will provide more accurate costs.  On the March Traffic Safety Committee Agenda is a draft policy for prioritizing traffic calming devices.

Respectfully submitted,

Charles F. Soules, P.E.
