River Ridge approves $105,000 package for solar radar speed signs and cloud services
Summary
The board approved AV-Tech estimates to install three permanent and one mobile 15" solar speed signs, plus cloud device subscriptions, for a combined total of $105,000 and discussed relocating an existing unit that recorded about 800 violations in three weeks.
The River Ridge board approved an AV-Tech/Traffic Logix proposal to add traffic-calming equipment across the community. Mr. Willis presented two estimates that together would install three permanent 15" solar-powered radar signs and one mobile unit; the package includes camera/messaging features and cloud-device subscriptions at $1,500 per device per year. The board approved the combined package for $105,000 on a motion by Mr. Schultz seconded by Mr. Blumenthal, recorded in the minutes as carried "with all in favor."
Eric Long told the board the existing unit had recorded about 800 varied speeding violations over a three-week period and suggested moving it 20 to 30 yards to improve detection; staff estimated poles would cost roughly $1,200 each to relocate a unit. The board discussed funding ($150,000 budgeted for traffic calming) and whether PSGRC would assume recurring cloud-device costs.
