7/23/26 Traffic Safety Board Meeting

The City of Sherwood Traffic Safety Board met on July 23, 2026, to discuss various traffic safety initiatives including mobile speed enforcement, speed limit reductions, and crosswalk enhancements. Key procurement-related discussions involved the deployment and management of mobile speed cameras, with updates on citation rates and camera placement strategies. The board recommended setting the mobile speed enforcement trigger at 6 miles per hour over the speed limit in school zones to improve enforcement effectiveness. They also discussed the potential ordinance to reduce speed limits from 25 to 20 mph in residential districts, referencing similar programs in other cities and the associated costs of signage installation, estimated at around $17,000 in materials for a comparable city. The board agreed to request an ODOT study for speed reduction in the Oldtown business district and planned further community engagement before making additional recommendations. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were made during this meeting, but ongoing coordination with vendors for speed camera data and enforcement was noted. The meeting also covered updates on the Transportation System Plan (TSP) and upcoming public engagement efforts.
