body
DESCRIPTION
The Roads & Drainage Division received a request from a representative of the High View Homeowners Association to reduce the speed limit within the subdivision. In researching the request, the Roads & Drainage Division discovered a Resolution establishing a speed zone of 25 M.P.H., adopted by the Board on February 26, 1999, which is attached to the proposed Resolution as Exhibit “A.” High View Bend is located in the Lakeland area in S-16, T-29S, R-24E, and is classified as a Local Residential road.
Staff conducted traffic studies on High View Bend as outlined in FS 316.189, and investigated the five-year crash history. Based on the research, it was determined that a posting of 20 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 High View Bend. Cost for installation of signs is estimated at $100.07.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are budgeted in the FY 23/24 Transportation Millage Fund.
