River Ridge approves $105,000 package for solar radar speed signs and cloud services
Summary
The board approved AV‑Tech LLC estimates to install three permanent 15" solar-powered radar signs, one mobile unit and cloud traffic devices ($1,500 per device annually) for a combined $105,000; the vote was unanimous.
As part of a long-term traffic-calming plan, Operations Manager Shane Willis presented AV‑Tech LLC estimates to install three remaining 15‑inch solar-powered radar signs with cameras and messaging and a mobile unit. The package also includes cloud traffic devices at $1,500 per device per year.
PSGRC General Manager Eric Long suggested adding a mobile unit; Mr. Willis said poles would be purchased for about $1,200 each from Paramount Asphalt. The board approved AV‑Tech LLC Estimates 24150 and 24151 to wire and install three permanent and one mobile unit, plus annual cloud-device subscriptions, for a combined total of $105,000 on a motion by Chair Bob Schultz seconded by Kurt Blumenthal; the motion passed unanimously.
Board discussion included proposed installation locations, the $150,000 budgeted for traffic calming, PSGRC criteria for issuing warnings and fines, and a suggestion that the HOA assume ongoing cloud-device costs offset by covenant traffic-fine revenues.
