Police report: speed sign on West Edge slowing traffic; staff to share data and consider targeted enforcement
Summary
The police or public‑safety representative reported that driver‑feedback speed signs on West Edge appear to lower average speeds; staff will share the data with council and consider targeted vehicle inspections and enforcement.
A public‑safety update at the April 8 council meeting described recent activity and traffic‑calming measures. The presenter reported there have been no 911 complaints and that overweight‑vehicle compliance was generally good. Officers are granting temporary movement permissions for emergency well‑drilling equipment when needed.
The department reviewed operation of a radar‑based driver‑feedback trailer on West Edge. The presenter said the sign’s average recorded speeds at one location were as low as 19 miles per hour and that repositioning the trailer affected the capture zone. Staff recommended conducting follow‑up speed checks with a traffic‑safety vehicle to verify whether the trailer and permanent radar sign are reducing speeds in critical locations.
Council asked staff to send the sign reports to Jesse and to circulate findings to councilors. The presenter also noted the Grandview Middle School remodeling will soon begin and that the school resource officer reported no current disruptions to classes.
