10/22/26 Traffic Safety Board Meeting

The City of Sherwood Traffic Safety Board meeting on October 22, 2026, focused on traffic safety priorities and public engagement. A resident requested clearer public information and more patrols concerning e-bikes and e-scooters on sidewalks and trails, including trail signage and outreach through schools. Members discussed including micromobility safety education, improved board visibility and public feedback, continued Transportation System Plan involvement, proactive use of safety data, lighting concerns, and a citywide safety action plan among the board’s goals for the coming year. A safety action plan was discussed as a potential future initiative; comparable plans were estimated at roughly $80,000–$300,000, and members noted that prior federal Safe Streets for All planning funds had been allocated. No funding or procurement decision was made.

The board reviewed its prior recommendation to lower residential speed limits from 25 to 20 mph ahead of a November 17 City Council work session. Staff demonstrated a proposed public map for suggesting mobile speed-camera locations and discussed how submissions and comments would be managed. Staff reported that cameras near the middle school had recorded approximately 1,020 violations in both directions since August 28, with more violations during school-zone hours; the cameras were scheduled to move to Murdoch the following Monday. Members also discussed canceling the November and December meetings, but the transcript does not establish a final vote. No contract awards, purchasing approvals, or other procurement activity were identified.
