body
DESCRIPTION
The Roads & Drainage Division received a request from a representative of the Marina Manor subdivision to reduce the speed limits within the subdivision. In researching the request, the Roads & Drainage Division discovered Resolutions adopted by the Board on May 6, 1997 for Harbor Drive, Harbor Drive East, and Harbor Drive West attached to the proposed Resolution as Exhibit “A”, Exhibit “B”, and Exhibit “C” respectively. Harbor Drive, Harbor Drive East, and Harbor Drive West are located in the Lakeland area in S-30, T-27S, R-24E, and are classified as Local Residential roads.
Staff conducted traffic studies within Marina Manor, as outlined in Section 316.189 of the Florida Statutes, and investigated the five-year crash history. It was subsequently determined that postings of 20 M.P.H. are reasonable for these roads. 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 Harbor Drive, Harbor Drive East, and Harbor Drive West, within the Marina Manor Subdivision. Cost for installation of signs is estimated at $332.11.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are budgeted in the FY 25/26 Transportation Millage Fund.
