River Ridge CDD approves $105,000 plan to install solar speed-radar signs
Summary
The River Ridge Community Development District approved a combined $105,000 AV‑Tech contract to install three permanent solar speed-radar signs and one mobile unit, plus cloud traffic devices; the move follows data showing roughly 800 speeding violations on one unit over three weeks.
The River Ridge Community Development District Board on Nov. 19 approved a $105,000 package with AV‑Tech LLC to install three permanent 15‑inch solar speed‑radar signs, a mobile unit and cloud traffic services. Shane Willis, operations manager, presented the estimates and the board approved the combined wiring, installation and cloud service proposal on a unanimous vote.
The board adopted the AV‑Tech estimates after discussing locations, device costs and operational responsibilities. Eric Long, PSGRC general manager, recommended relocating an existing enforcement unit 20 to 30 yards to improve detection; Long told the board the existing unit recorded about 800 varied speeding violations over a three‑week period. Staff noted poles for relocated devices will be purchased from Paramount Asphalt for about $1,200 each.
The package includes an annual $1,500 fee per cloud traffic device. Board members discussed whether the homeowners association should assume ongoing cloud‑device costs and offset them with covenant traffic fine revenues administered by PSGRC; no final assignment of ongoing operating costs was adopted at the meeting.
The motion to approve AV‑Tech estimates was made by Bob Schultz, seconded by Kurt Blumenthal, and passed with all supervisors voting in favor. Implementation steps include finalizing installation sites and procuring required poles and mounting equipment.
