River Ridge approves $105,000 for AV‑Tech speed radar signs and mobile unit
Summary
The board approved My AV‑Tech LLC estimates to install three permanent and one mobile 15" solar-powered digital speed radar signs with cameras and messaging, plus cloud-device fees; the combined approved total was $105,000.
River Ridge supervisors voted unanimously on Nov. 19 to purchase and install digital speed radar signs and a mobile unit from My AV‑Tech LLC as part of a long-term traffic‑calming plan. The approved package funds three permanent 15‑inch solar-powered speed radar signs with cameras and messaging, and one mobile 15‑inch unit; staff also noted $1,500 per year per cloud traffic device as an ongoing cost.
Operations staff presented data showing an existing unit recorded about 800 speeding violations over a three‑week period, prompting discussion of moving that unit 20 to 30 yards and purchasing a new pole (estimated at about $1,200 from Paramount Asphalt). On a motion by Mr. Schultz, seconded by Mr. Blumenthal, the board approved AV‑Tech estimates (combined total $105,000) to wire and install the permanent and mobile 15" signs and to enable cloud-device connectivity.
