Residents raise speeding concerns on Woodland Hills Drive; commission cites speed-sign data and ramped enforcement options
Summary
Residents told the planning commission that development and higher speeds on West Loafer/Woodland Hills Drive are safety concerns; commissioners said the city—s speed sign collects speeding data and that calming measures, including a development agreement speed hump, have been discussed.
WOODLAND HILLS, Utah — Several residents raised concerns about vehicle speeds on West Loafer and Woodland Hills Drive at the March 19 Woodland Hills Planning Commission meeting, prompting commissioners to discuss traffic-calming options and electronic speed-sign data used by the sheriff's office.
A resident described growing development and asked whether the city could take steps to slow traffic: "I just keep thinking, well, we'll keep building more house up there and we should, but what what could be done, you know? And I just wonder if at some point we say, hey. Some creep you you know, we're getting a lot of homes up there. We need to do something to slow traffic down because it it is a safe concern, I think."
Chairman Wayne Franson said the city had included a speed-management measure in a development agreement with Summit Creek and that deputies can use data from the electronic sign to determine where enforcement might be effective. "They can track speed too," Franson said of the sign, noting it records vehicle counts and speeds and that deputies use the data to plan enforcement. Commissioners discussed options such as a wide, plowable speed hump, temporary enforcement and enhanced signage.
Commissioners asked staff to keep the matter on the radar as development continues; no formal action was taken at the meeting.
