Action Items from last meeting:
Brad/PW to install signs at Wilds Ridge, Lime Rd/Center Rd and Cedarwood Trail DONE
Brad
to review the Forsythe area and recommend any changes to the street sign location if possible. DONE
Steve and Mak to check with Al on policy of using “Leash/Pick Up” signs along
trails. WILL INSTALL SIGNS AS REQUESTED
Steve to check on development requirements for stop sign placement to be consistent with resident requests. WILL INSTALL STOP SIGN ON INTERSECTING
STREET ONLY, NOT ALL WAY STOP. THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.
Larry to put blurb in next recon newsletter letting residents know “No Parking” signs are recommended on
the house side of Fish Point Road and wait for feedback. DONE
New Issues:
Wilds Lane NW/Sterling South (Private Street)-“No Outlet” sign is in confusing location, can it be moved?
No sign was posted on Wilds Lane. Would recommend sign at entrance of Wilds Lane at Wilds Parkway. Install “No Outlet” sign at Wilds Lane and Wilds Parkway.
17151 Horizon Trail SE-Speeding
down the hill is a problem. Can we have more police enforcement? Speed humps? Children at Play signs? Would recommend more police enforcement. Bill will add patrol to this street and
put speed trailer out.
Crosswalk at Five Hawks- Doesn’t like location of crosswalk. Cars are parking at “No Parking” signs and creating dangerous crossing. “No Parking This Block”
signs are posted on the west side of Five Hawks in front of the school. May need additional enforcement when kids are heading to and from school. Talk with Dan M. (school district)
first to determine designated drop out/pick up location for parents. Then add enforcement during drop off/pick up times to eliminate parking on no parking side of street.
CR 44-Speed limit is too fast. Eastbound lanes: 45 mph at Franklin Trail and 50 mph after Fish Point Road. Westbound lanes: 50 mph before Prior Lake, 45 mph at Prior Lake city limits,
35 mph before Franklin Trail. Speed limits are set by the State. Appears to be inconsistent speed locations posted. Joe G. will look into this issue and determine if speed study is
warranted.
Wildhorse Pass-Speeding through street @ 40mph. No path/sidewalk for children, no speed limit signs. There is a center island east of Crane Court. See traffic counts.
No action taken. Not a speeding issue, 85% is 30 mph WB lane and 27.5 mph EB lane.
Deerfield:
Requesting “No Outlet” sign at end of Fish Point Road (before Oak Point Dr E &
W) No thru street after Pondsedge Lane. “No Outlet” sign would not appear to diminish traffic already on Fish Point Road. Install “No Outlet” sign after Pondsedge and Fish Point Road
intersection. Brad to determine proper location.
Requesting 3 way stop sign at Marshfield/Deerfield and 2 20 mph speed limit signs on Marshfield. Association will pay for sign and
installation to be done by association. Just would like recommendation of location and sign type. Other streets in development have stop signs on intersecting streets (i.e. Deerfield
Cir and Deerfield Lane). Would recommend putting stop sign on Marshfield, but not on Deerfield Drive. Recommend putting 20 mph speed limit signs at both ends of Marshfield. Typically,
we recommend one stop sign on intersecting street, no stop signs on thru street. 20 mph signs would be ok, but not enforceable on private streets.
Oak Street-Speeding around corner.
See traffic counts. Speed counters show no signs of speeding. 85% is 27.6mph WB lane and 24 mph EB lane. There are a few cars that go too fast, but traffic calming measures would
not be effective here.
Other Business/Handouts:
Speed limit sign on CR 83? County is waiting to do a speed study before changing the location of the sign.
Seng Thongvanh is going
to take Makenzie’s place while on maternity leave as the TSC representative. Please forward all requests to him.
Next Meeting: January–TBD (Seng) @ Maintenance Center Conf. Rm
