County staff explain scoring system; Tempo Drive scores 31 points

St. Louis County Transportation and Public Works · July 28, 2026

Summary

Staff described a scoring matrix used to prioritize candidate roads—speeding, crash rate/severity, cut-through potential and sidewalk gaps—and used Tempo Drive as an example with a combined score of 31 (10 speeding, 1 crash rate, 10 cut-through, 10 sidewalk).

Betty Tes Fu, project manager for the subdivision traffic-calming effort, walked attendees through the scoring that determines which roads are selected for speed humps.

Using Tempo Drive as an example, she said the team counted two crashes between 2019 and 2023 and assigned points across categories to reach a total of 31: "We have 10 points from the speeding score, 1 from the crash rate score, 10 from cut through, and 10 from the sidewalk score... So all in all become 31." Staff clarified "31" is a project score, not a measured speed. The criteria used county crash-reporting and speed data tools to identify problem locations for inclusion in the candidate list.

Staff asked residents to review the map and spreadsheet on the project website and to use the survey to flag any local route preferences or correct preferred cut‑through corridors before the county finalizes the letting package.
