Staff Comments
City Engineer Hoisted addressed council stating that due to the increase in construction activity
throughout the City, staff has been using changeable message signs on a more frequent basis. The
signs are used to warn motorist of lane closures, detours, and general construction activities. These
signs comply with the new requirements for major accidents as specified in the Manual for Uniform Traffic
Control Devices (MUTCD) which were effective in January 2010. They reduce confusion for motorist, are
quick and easy to set up, and provide greater safety to all city employees and victims of roadway
incidents. Staff has also seen an increase in the number of complaints of speeding on residential streets.
A speed awareness monitor (SAM) raises the motorist awareness by displaying the vehicle speed. As a
result, most neighborhoods will notice a reduction in traffic speeds even after the trailer is removed. The
SAM also records speed data and further enforcement can be done by the police department if
necessary.

Mr. Hoisted stated that staff recommends the speed awareness monitor be purchased from Stalker Radar
and the changeable message signs be purchased from SolarTech. Excess funds from the Alanis East
paving and drainage project can be used to purchase the equipment.
