Mission
The Street and Traffic Committee was created June 20, 2011 by Ordinance No. 3371 to carry out educational activities in street and traffic matters, to recommend the preparation and publication of street reports, to receive citizen input, to recommend a snow removal policy as well as modifications to a City Council adopted policy, to act as an advisory board on the prioritization of street rehabilitation projects, to recommend street projects to include on any ballot proposal, to supervise the preparation and publication of traffic reports, to act as an advisory board on the decisions of the traffic engineer having to do with traffic matters, and to recommend to the city council plans and programs for improving traffic conditions and the administration and enforcement of traffic regulations. Prioritization of street projects shall be based on engineering data consisting of but not limited to functional use, traffic counts, pavement condition assessment and deterioration models as well as city staff input regarding the likely causes of the pavement distress or deterioration and the recommended repair combined with the anticipated project cost.
