AGENDA ITEM <br /> <br />Prepared By: Reviewed By: Approved By: DJR <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1. Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to gain council approval cease the installment of seasonal <br />speed humps of Woodhill Avenue. <br /> <br />2. Background. The City has received several requests over the last couple years from residents to stop <br />putting seasonal speed humps on Wood Hill Avenue. The most recent is at Exhibit A. The City has been <br />placing two seasonal speed humps on Woodhill each summer season since 2012/13 when a repaving <br />project removed the two permanent speed humps as a response to a residents concern. The permanent <br />speed humps had been constructed by Woodhill Country Club as a condition of a CUP (resolution 4305) <br />in 1999. This action is being brought to Council as speed humps can often be an emotional community <br />issue. <br /> <br />3. Staff Recommendation. I recommend the that the City cease installing seasonal speed humps on <br />Woodhill Avenue for the following reasons: <br />a. The only remaining resident on the road that have to traverse the humps have requested their <br />removal. <br />b. Speed humps are an ineffective means of managing speed. If speed does become an issue more <br />effective means such as speed feedback signs and increase police patrols could be done. <br />c. The installation and removal of the speed humps cost the City $900-$1000 a year in installation <br />and removal costs. <br />d. The conditions of the CUP with respect to Speed humps were met in 1999. <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Move to approve the proposal to cease installation of speed humps on Woodhill Avenue. <br /> <br />Exhibits <br />A.
