Estacada council approves stop signs on North Broadway and reduces speed limit on Oakview Lane
Summary
Council adopted Resolution 2025‑005 to install stop signs at North Broadway at NW Tenth Avenue and to lower the speed on SE Oakview Lane from 25 to 20 mph; council also approved a removable sleeve for a radar feedback sign to be deployed as needed.
The Estacada City Council approved Resolution 2025‑005 authorizing placement of stop signs on North Broadway at Northwest Tenth Avenue and reducing the speed limit from 25 to 20 miles per hour on Southeast Oakview Lane (from SE Fourth to East First).
Council discussion on the consent‑agenda item also addressed deployment of a radar feedback sign. Councilors debated purchasing and permanently installing a speed feedback unit (estimated cost communicated in the packet at roughly $4,200) versus a removable sleeve or temporary deployment so the device can be relocated as needed. Staff said the city could purchase a unit in a sleeve to move to other locations over time; the council supported that approach.
A motion to approve the resolution carried; councilors indicated unanimous consent when asked by the mayor. Staff will implement the stop sign placement and the speed limit change and will acquire a removable radar feedback mount for temporary use and redeployment as traffic calming needs evolve.
Council instructed staff to perform follow‑up speed studies after an initial period with the changed speed limit and to return any cost or operational recommendations for permanent devices to council if needed.
