body
DESCRIPTION
The Roads & Drainage Division received a request from a citizen to consider speed humps on Eastside Drive South. In researching the request, the Roads & Drainage Division discovered that a Resolution establishing a speed limit could not be located and may not exist. Eastside Drive South is located in the Lakeland area in S-2, T-28S, R-24E, and is classified as an Urban Collector road.
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 a posting of 25 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 limit.
RECOMMENDATION
Request Board adopt the associated Resolution to establish the proposed speed zone for Eastside Drive South. Cost for installation of signs is estimated at $277.76.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are budgeted in the FY 25/26 Transportation Millage Fund.
