Council asks for updated traffic analysis on Park Road East; staff to contact property owners if warranted
Summary
Councilmember Todd Barber asked for an update on a 2022 traffic analysis for Park Road East. Town engineering staff said an earlier performance bond was released and the town will re-run the traffic counts; implementation of traffic calming requires property-owner sign-offs per policy if the updated data supports it.
Councilmember Todd Barber requested an update to a 2022 traffic analysis for Park Road East after new internal access from nearby development opened. Town engineering staff said the original performance bond related to development work along Park Road East has been released because the town cannot legally keep a bond on an existing road; the developer repaired disturbed sections and the bond was released.
Engineering staff said the town will re-run traffic counts now that the internal access road is functional to determine whether traffic-calming measures remain warranted. The policy in effect requires that if the data again supports traffic calming, the requestor must collect signatures from property owners along the roadway and secure 60% approval before the town implements measures. Staff also noted implementation of speed humps would typically be coordinated with resurfacing to avoid adding humps on deteriorated pavement.
Ending: Staff will perform updated traffic counts and, if the data supports calming, contact the property owner who initiated the earlier request to begin the required outreach and signature collection.
