During spring and fall events parking occurs on both sides of the street making navigation difficult for two way passage. Speeds off Highway 13 are also a concern. Requests speed study performed and parking reviewed in the spring of 2016. 6/1/2016 Additional Enforcement, Use speed display sign when they become available, place No Parking signs on Southbound lane from TH 13 to Flagstaff Petition received. Centennial Street 25' B- B, Candy Cove 39' B-B. Candy Cove 85th percentile 35 mph (south lane) and 38 mph (north lane); AADT 200 & 257 Committee reviewed this item with input from the property owners within Candy Cove Trail. Candy Cove does get a lot of traffic and parking during a number of events (football, tennis, lacrosse, dance, softball, etc). On street parkng is needed for these events and the street was built wider for this purpose. Committee felt speeding was an issue but traffic volumes is within range for a residential street. Committee will continue to monitor the area. 4/5/2016 Add additional No Parking signs on Fish Point Road from TH 13 to Fairlawn Shores (and use larger signs). 6/1/2016 Request denied Verify with police department for enforcement issues. No additional signs are needed and area towards TH 13 is an enforcement issue. Update 6/10/16: Spoke to Mr. Shafer. There was a misunderstanding regarding the request. He would like the Committee to review No Parking signs on lake side of Fish Point Road. He feels additional signage is needed for enforcement. Currently No Parking This Side are installed but there may be some areas where additional signs may be needed. This should be reviewed by Police and Public Works to ensure enforceability of signs.

Son had meningitis and lost hearing. 6/1/2016 Request denied Will need to revise TSAC policy to address these type of signs. Committee reviewed the MMUTCD regarding these types of signs. The manual discourages installation of these signs as studies have shown these signs to be ineffective. They also provide a false sense of security. Update 6/10/16: Staff spoke to Ms Spaulding regarding the Committee's recommendation. Suggested that she obtain either a sign she can install on private property or the neon child signs that she can place out on the boulevard area and remove once the child is not playing outdoors. Explained to her that signs that stay out 24/7 become the landscape and drivers will ignore these signs.

I live on Willow Ln SW. I am wondering, what is the plan to control traffic this summer around Charlie's? Cars are parked on both streets - Dunkirk and Ramsey. You can't even drive up/down those streets. It is only going to get worse. There seems to be no traffic control. 6/1/2016 Install No Parking on one side (hydrant side) of Spring Avenue. Map of sign locations and street width provided to Committee Committee reviewed the area as well as traffic study. Speed study shows 85th percentile in the mid-20 mph and traffic volumes in the 650 AADT prior to Charlies. Although the Committee sees there are isues, this area is a tough area for parking. This area is also up for reconstruction and staff could evaluate ways to help with parking as well as pedestrian movements. Owner of Charlies was in attendance at the meeting. He did discuss use of shuttle for larger events. 5/17/2016 Intersection of CR 21 and Adelmann St. Large trucks are not able to make turn from CR 21 onto Adelmann without driving over curb or encroaching onto other lanes on Adelmann. Adelmann currently has dedicated left and right turn lanes. 6/1/2016 Restrip narrower left and right turn lanes Committee had concern regarding the stacking of cars if there was just one lane versus dedicated turn lanes. PW Director has experienced waits for turn movements and had concerns if vehicles turning right had to wait for left turn movements. 5/31/2016 Lords Street No Parking. Requesting additional signs for enforcement. 6/1/2016 Add signs as necessary for enforcement Public Works will review with Police department to evaluate need for additional signs for enforcement. 6/1/2016 Request to not restrip center line on Fremont after chip seal.6/1/2016 Request denied Committee recommends that the centerline striping be put back per what was existing. Feels this section should match Northwood striping (has centerline strip) and also feels it is a safety issue as the lanes are narrowed due to shoulder striping. Striping the centerline will help delineation of travel lanes. Studies are inconclusive as to whether striping helps with traffic calming.

Requestee was in attendance at the meeting. County will evaluate curve advisory sign to see if it is necessary. Page 5 TSC Requests_Past&Present
