DESCRIPTION
The Board of County Commissioners has a policy that allows for the installation of traffic calming devices on certain County roads, provided they meet the criteria set forth in the policy.
In November 2017, the Board of County Commissioners adopted a Resolution to install three speed humps on Avenue Y Northeast, between First Street North and State Road 544 (Lucerne Park Road). Recently, an area resident approached the County with a request to install an additional traffic calming device on Avenue Y Northeast. Avenue Y Northeast is located in the Winter Haven area in S-16, T-28S, R-26E, and is classified as a Local Residential roadway.
Staff distributed ballots to affected homeowners and received a favorable vote from the required percentage of that population.
Per Board policy, once requirements are met, the public will have an opportunity to address the Board of County Commissioners before traffic calming devices are approved.
