end
body
HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
Summit Boulevard is a source of frequent resident concern due to excessive vehicle speed through a residential context, nearby public recreational amenities, and a public elementary school.
With consistent historical Annual Average Daily Travel (AADT) numbers between 5000-5500, and the heavy bicycle and pedestrian usage of Summit Blvd., it is a prudent study to prioritize safety and stewardship moving forward.
Traffic counts, travels speeds, recently waived parking requirements at Roger Scott, and surrounding residential areas make Summit Blvd a good candidate to assess the suitability for a road diet.
PRIOR ACTION:
June 17, 2021 - City Council appropriated funding in relation to ARPA for the recovery of revenue loss, grant compliance and administration and facility improvements.
July 15, 2021 - City Council appropriated funding in relation to ARPA for premium pay and employee vaccination incentive pay.
August 12, 2021 - City Council appropriated funding in relation to ARPA for the design and construction of the skateboard park at the Hollice T. Williams Park.
August 12, 2021 - City Council appropriated funding in relation to ARPA for Stormwater, Drainage, and Sewer Abatement and Citizen Assistance.
November 18, 2021 - City Council appropriated funding in relation to premium pay for City employees.
FUNDING:
N/A
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Upon approval by City Council funding in the amount of $75,000 will be transferred from an unspecified marina project to be used for costs associated with a Summit Blvd. Road Diet Feasibility Study.
