Traffic study cited; engineers say speed‑zone mitigation adequate but commissioners seek cost data
A consultant traffic engineer told Estacada’s planning commission that a limited‑duration school speed zone would mitigate peak impacts from a proposed private K–12 school, but commissioners asked the city engineer to estimate the cost of a turn lane and a pull‑around to decide proportional mitigation.
