CONCERN SUMMARY OF CONCERN TSC COMMENTS & RECOMMENDATIONS ACTION
TAKEN
166 8/2/21
Powers Blvd -
Between
Santa Vera Dr
&
Saddlebrook
Curve
No buffer area or barrier from sidewalk and
Powers Blvd. Resident has seen distracted
drivers veer across line which would be
dangerous for pedestrians. Can the City
initiate contact with the County?
Charlie Burke reached out to County regarding the
possible installation of rumble strips or other
improvements to assess by the County. County advises
against rumble strips due to proximity of residential area -
suggested possible striping or eliminating portions of
pavement to increase boulevard/green area during next
County rehabilitation project in the area. Tracking with
County resurface project.

207 2/17/22
Flying Cloud
Drive and
Stoughton
Ave
Vehicles coming off Flying Cloud Drive are
speeding through intersection and along
the corridor after road was rehabilitated.
The pavement markings, signage and
enforcement are not adequate to eliminate
the issue. Request for speed feedback too.
There is a lot of traffic on this road and
speeds are getting worse. There are buses
that drop kids off too. UPDATE: Speeders
still occurring; however update is regarding
vehicles passing others now if driving speed
limit and skip lines allow. Request to have
double line. Also request for increased
enforcement in the interim.
Left resident a voicemail letting him know the TSC
determined that more data is necessary to evaluate the
concern. A speed data collector will be installed and the
TSC will re-evaluate after this information is collected.
Increased enforcement has been issued upon resubmittal
from same resident about concern. Speed study still
pending, goal is set for completion by next meeting for TSC
evaluation for September 2022 meeting. Pending
220 7/21/22
Bluff Creek
Blvd &
Washington
Blvd
Similar to Case #130 regarding crosswalk
improvements. Resident has concerns
regarding lack of improvements to
intersection and would like to see upgrades
to the crosswalk including striping and
signage. Also noted that this is a bus stop
location.
TSC will evaluate if this intersection will meet warrants
one the crosswalk policy is approved. Preliminary
assessments indicate this may meet improvements if the
policy is adopted. Pending
221 7/27/22
Coulter Blvd
& Harvest
Lane
Representing the Autumn Ridge
subdivision/HOA about speed concerns
along Coulter Blvd, specifically at the
crosswalk at Harvest Lane. Mentioned a
single motorcycle crash that raised
additional concerns. Would like to meet
with staff to address possible solutions
Issue was previously raised from closed Case #195
regarding speeding and request for speed signage.
Corridor was evaluated to have adequate speed signage,
the speed trailer was deployed, and the case was also put
on the Crosswalk Policy review for when the policy is
complete. In response to this case, the TSC will set up
meeting with concerned resident in response to the
meeting request.

222 8/7/22 78th Street -
Near CDT
"Large bush obscures view of traffic /
pedestrian at cross walk. South side of road.
Very dangerous for cyclist or pedestrians.
Trim or remove bush needed."
Public works trimmed vegetation in area to improve sight
lines and provide more visibility to crosswalk. Yes
223 8/8/22 Lake Susan
Hills Dr
A SCF concern was given regarding parking
near a curb ramp to access the trail. Staff
would like to assess the need for "No
Parking" in such areas. Erik is reaching out
to ADA office to confirm any other potential
issues.
Research into State Statutes and ADA compliance
completed. The area the vehicle is parking is legal by State
Statute and there is no violation of ADA. Based on these
findings, TSC will evaluate in the September 2022 meeting
whether these types of curb ramps should be considered
for "No Parking" resolutions/signage, as well as
assessment of other unique areas found from research
(e.g., across from fire station egress points).
Pending
224 8/10/22 Hickory Rd
Similar request for case #191. Concerns
regarding street width, no parking,
drainage, etc. See case file for full concern.
Public Works Director/City Engineer responded to resident
regarding the concerns - no action deemed necessary at
this time as Case #191 is still being processed which deals
with the traffic safety concern of narrow streets, parking,
and vehicular circulation.
Pending (Case
#191)
225 8/12/22
Lake Susan
Hills Drive &
Powers Blvd
Concerns regarding the intersection of Lake
Susan and Powers Blvd. regarding
pedestrian safety and the speed limit in the
area. While signed 45, he believes that 50-
55 is more of the average speed along this
corridor by drivers. Has almost been hit 2
times. States that a similar letter was
provided but ignored by City and County.
City and County met regarding the issue to discuss
potential path forward. The County will have their traffic
consultant look at the specifics and will be preparing a
technical memo. Also, increased enforcement will be
provided for the next two weeks. TSC will evaluate in the
September 2022 meeting assessing any updates.
