body
DESCRIPTION
The Roads & Drainage Division received a request from a citizen to consider speed limit postings within Caloosa Ridge. In researching the request, the Roads & Drainage Division discovered that a Resolution establishing a speed limit for Caloosa Ridge Avenue, Caloosa Ridge Trail and Caloosa Ridge Way could not be located and may not exist. Caloosa Ridge is located in the Babson Park area in S-29, T-30S, R-28E, and its roads classified as Local Residential.
Staff conducted traffic studies within Caloosa Ridge 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 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 Caloosa Ridge Avenue, Caloosa Ridge Trail and Caloosa Ridge Way. Cost for installation of signs is estimated at $537.41.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are budgeted in the FY 24/25 Transportation Millage Fund.
