PSC votes to present I Street survey and recommend speed-limit signs to City Council

Commissioners reviewed an I Street neighborhood survey (101 distributed, 20 returned) that ranked speed limit signs as the top preferred measure, followed by speed tables, stop signs and radar speed signs. The survey consolidation included verbatim comments and a simple scoring method: commissioners noted some respondents marked multiple top choices, which the surveyor included rather than excluding those responses.

Commissioner (speaker who consolidated surveys) summarized results: speed limit signs had the highest aggregate preference across the top four ranked options, with speed tables second and stop signs and radar signs also receiving notable support. After discussion about budget, enforcement and the need for follow‑up traffic studies for stop signs, the commission moved to present the survey to City Council and recommend installing speed‑limit signs on I Street as the initial, low‑cost intervention; the motion passed unanimously. The commission recorded that Ted Hales will present the survey and prepare a written report for the Council packet.

The commission also discussed sequencing: install speed signs first, monitor whether the problem persists, then pursue speed tables or other capital measures depending on findings and funding availability. Commissioners emphasized resident outreach and that any physical devices would require outreach, MUTCD compliance, and coordination with county agencies where right‑of‑way or truck routes intersect with local streets.
