City of Lawrence
TRAFFIC ENGINEERING DIVISION
MEMORANDUM
TO: Charles Soules, Director of Public Works
FROM: David Woosley, Transportation/Traffic Engineer
DATE: 13 February 2007
SUBJECT: Traffic Safety Commission, February 5, 2007
Trail Road between Lawrence Avenue and Kasold Drive
At the February 5, 2007, Traffic Safety Commission meeting, the commission heard a request to construct TRAFFIC CALMING DEVICES on Trail Road between Lawrence Avenue and Kasold Drive, due to the speed of traffic in the area. Traffic data collected showed that the area met or exceeded the city’s minimum criteria for consideration of traffic calming devices. The commission approved the request, 6-1.
Based on the speed and volume of traffic, crash history, sidewalks, school crossings and pedestrian generators, this project would rank No. 6 on the city’s list (see attached list) of approved traffic calming projects, if approved by the City Commission. An actual plan will not be developed until funding is available and staff has conducted neighborhood meetings; however, it is anticipated that up to four devices may be required at an estimated cost of $100,000.
