DESCRIPTION
The Roads & Drainage Division received a request from a citizen to consider traffic calming devices on Roels Street. In researching the request, the Roads & Drainage Division discovered that Bennett Street and Roels Street are posted 30 M.P.H. per Florida Statute. Bennett Street and Roels Street are located in the Haines City area in S-22, T-28S, R-27E, and are classified as Local Residential roads.
Staff conducted traffic studies in the neighborhood as outlined in FS 316.189, and investigated the five-year crash history. Based on the research, it was determined that postings of 25 M.P.H. are reasonable for Bennett Street and Roels Street. To comply with statutory requirements, it is necessary for the Board to adopt a Resolution establishing the proposed speed limits.
RECOMMENDATION
Request Board adopt the associated Resolution to establish the proposed speed zones for Bennett Street and Roels Street. Cost for installation of signs is estimated at $222.27.
