River Ridge CDD approves $105,000 package of solar speed signs after staff cites 800 speeding events
Summary
The River Ridge CDD unanimously authorized $105,000 to install three permanent and one mobile 15" solar-powered speed signs with cameras and cloud support after staff reported an existing unit recorded about 800 violations over three weeks.
The River Ridge Community Development District on Nov. 19 approved a $105,000 package to install three permanent and one mobile 15‑inch solar‑powered digital speed signs equipped with cameras and messaging.
Shane Willis, the district operations manager, presented AV‑Tech estimates that included roughly $74,000 for the remaining permanent signs, $25,000 for a mobile unit and $1,500 per year for each cloud traffic device. Eric Long, PSGRC general manager, told the Board that an existing unit "clocked 800 varied speeding violations over a three week period," a finding Board members cited when discussing placement and effectiveness.
Board members discussed relocating the existing unit 20–30 yards to improve detection; Mr. Willis said poles will be purchased from Paramount Asphalt at about $1,200 each. The Board also discussed the possibility of the homeowners association absorbing cloud device annual fees and offsetting those costs with covenant fine revenues collected by PSGRC.
On a motion and second, the Board unanimously authorized My AV‑Tech LLC Estimates 24150 and 24151 to wire and install the three permanent and one mobile units and to support the cloud traffic devices for a combined total of $105,000. Operations staff will proceed with pole procurement and scheduling installation.
What’s next: Staff will schedule installation and report timing and any recurring cloud costs; the HOA and PSGRC may coordinate on how cloud fees and fine revenues will be managed.
