body
DESCRIPTION
The Roads & Drainage Division received a request from an area resident to reduce the speed limit along the roadway. In researching the request, the Roads & Drainage Division discovered a Resolution, establishing speed zones of 45 M.P.H. and 55 M.P.H., adopted by the Board on March 24, 1987, which is attached to the proposed Resolution as Exhibit “A.” Bomber Road is located in the Winter Haven area in S-14, T-29S, R-25E, and is classified as an Urban Collector road.
Staff conducted traffic studies on Bomber Road as outlined in FS 316.189, and investigated the five-year crash history. It was subsequently determined that a posting of 45 M.P.H. is reasonable for this road. 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 zone for Bomber Road. Cost for installation of signs is estimated at $242.40.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are budgeted in the FY 25/26 Transportation Millage Fund.
