Cityot <br />im Louisville <br />COLORADO • SINCE 1878 <br />CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION <br />AGENDA ITEM 11 <br />SUBJECT: DISCUSSION — ROADWAY TRAFFIC, SPEEDING AND <br />PEDESTRIAN SAFETY ISSUES <br />DATE: NOVEMBER 10, 2015 <br />PRESENTED BY: KURT KOWAR, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR <br />TROY RUSS, PLANNING AND BUILDING SAFETY DIRECTOR <br />DAVE HAYES, POLICE CHIEF <br />SUMMARY: <br />Council has asked staff to provide information on roadway traffic, speeding and <br />pedestrian safety. The attached presentation summarizes that information. <br />City Council and staff periodically receives inquiries, requests, or complaints regarding <br />traffic, speeding and pedestrian safety issues. The map in the attached presentation <br />shows the primary areas of these communications have focused on over the last <br />several years. The remainder of the presentation covers staff's process for reviewing <br />concerns, and various tools available to address the concerns. <br />There are many standards and best practices that can be applied to mitigate traffic and <br />pedestrian conflict areas. Each location tends to be an isolated case study. In many <br />cases, evaluating the need for improvements or action (signage, stepped up monitoring, <br />roadway improvements) based only on traffic engineering warrants or objective <br />standards may not satisfy the community desires. In such cases, Council must weigh <br />competing perspectives and interests and determine how much funding they want to <br />commit. <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />1.
