3 II Public Works 11 Memo Date : 10/15/2013 To : Don Morrison, City Administrator From : John Woodcock, City Engineer CC : Dan Grigsby, Public Works Director Re : Speed Study Recommendation on SR 410 from VMD to Main Street In September of 2013 Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) representatives met with city staff to review the approved intersection plans (PF A) for the SR 410 and Veterans Memorial Drive (VMD) within the Downtown region. City staff sought options that may be available to either remove or reduce the impacts of the median barriers proposed between VMD and Main Street along SR 410. It was proposed that a speed study would be implemented within this corridor along SR 410 to determine the 85 1 h percentile of vehicular speeds within the Downtown area in the City of Bonney Lake. The speed limit is commonly set at or below the 85th percentile operating speed (being the speed which no more than 15% of traffic is exceeding) in the US is typically set 8 to 12 mph below that speed. Later that month WSDOT completed the speed study between VMD and Main Street where the posted speed is 45 mph. The results of the study determined that the 85 1 h percentile speed for vehicles traveling this section of the corridor was 40 mph. The objective of this effort is to continue to provide a safe condition for the traveling public while enhancing the economic viability for the future for this portion of the corridor. The city is aware of the number of accidents that have occurred in this section of SR 410 and therefore I support the lowering of the speed limit between VMD and Main Street to 35 mph which still requires a future median construction but allows for a lower profile design that will enhance a more Downtown feel in the area of the study.

Administrative Recommendation: Approve Background Summary: In September 2013, Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) representatives met with city staff to review the approved intersection plans (PF A) for the SR 410 and Veterans Memorial Drive (VMD) within the Downtown area of the City. City staff sought options that may be available to either remove or reduce the impacts of the high median barriers proposed between VMD and Main Street along SR 410. Meeting again on 24 January 2014, City, WSDOT, BLPD, and WSHP representatives reviewed WSDOT survey results and concluded that a 40 mph speed limit from the Western city limit to 214th Avenue would enhance public safety. This would also allow installation of an aesthetically pleasing curb-height median in the Downtown area. Given the accident history in the Downtown, and the average speeds througout the City, a reduction to the SR410 speed limit is warranted.
