Committee continues monitoring for TV Drive speed complaint after multi-shift enforcement finds no systemic speeding
Summary
Staff and police completed multi-shift radar and tube counts on TV Drive (case 24-013); counts showed traffic volumes but not consistent speeding; committee left the item open for further monitoring and analysis under an ongoing program.
The Traffic Safety Committee reviewed ongoing analysis of request 24-013, a resident complaint seeking speed cushions on TV Drive. Staff and police conducted tube counts, multi-shift officer radar patrols and are continuing to collect data; initial results show traffic volumes but not a persistent speeding problem that would justify speed cushions.
Police said tube data initially suggested sporadic high-speed events at different times of day, which prompted targeted day, swing and graveyard shift enforcement; officers did not observe sustained speeding that meets engineering thresholds for cushions. “It’s one of those roads that with the curvature… it sometimes appears that the vehicles are traveling faster than they are,” an officer said.
Staff recommended continued monitoring and keeping the case open for further review under the city’s radar and telematics pilot; the committee agreed to file the complaint for continued observation rather than install speed cushions immediately. Engineering noted TV Drive is a feeder to the Woodhaven area and will remain on the committee’s watch list.
No immediate policy or physical changes were approved at the meeting.
