DISCUSSION OF SPEED TABLES ON FLAGLER LN (190TH - BERYL)
end
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Based on resident request, data collected by the City, and a subsequent meeting with the Councilmember for District 3, staff is bringing forward a recommendation to install speed tables on Flagler Lane between 190th Street and Beryl Street. Due to the unique nature of Flagler Lane and its surroundings in this area, the City's Speed Cushion Policy does not apply to this particular case.

If recommended by the PWSC and approved by the City Council, staff will coordinate the installation of two (2) modular pre-fabricated sets of staggered speed tables in each direction. If appropriate speed reductions are achieved, staff will then implement permanent asphalt speed cushions.
