body
DESCRIPTION
The Roads & Drainage Division received a request from a representative of the Astonia Homeowners Association to post speed limits within the subdivision. In researching the request, the Roads & Drainage Division discovered a Resolution establishing speed limits could not be found and may not exist. Astonia is located in the Davenport area in S-22, T-26S, R-27E, and its roads are classified as Local Residential.
Staff conducted traffic studies on Astonia Boulevard 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 the subdivision 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 Astonia Boulevard, Bloom Terrace, Lily Lane and Sidney Street. Cost for installation of signs is estimated at $1,030.10.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are budgeted in the FY 23/24 Transportation Millage Fund.
