Review by William Bullock, PE:
Generally all three studies show that there is good compliance to the speed limitwith both 85 th and 90 th percentile speeds within 5-6 mph of the speed limit.  There are a handful of significant speeders at all three locations; but there are so few of them that it is difficult to develop meaningful trends.  Note these speeders are not being affected by traffic calming island features at the far end either.

2) Relocation of speed limit sign (waiting on Public Works & Community Development Director to provide a date) – Completed
