WSN works with a traffic consultant that captures traffic count <br /> data via video camera. This not only provides us with raw <br /> traffic counts, but turning movements as well as types of <br /> vehicles passing by any given location. Plus, it can capture <br /> pedestrian movements, driver tendencies, close calls, truck <br /> traffic, etc. that tube counters cannot pick up. This information <br /> will be helpful in assisting the Council in making informed <br /> choices on any potential street adjustments due to the Trailside <br /> Park concepts, what to do with the existing traffic signal, any <br /> changes in Main Street traffic due to the interchange, etc. <br /> Traffic counts on four intersections will cost approximately <br /> $5,000 with an additional $1,000 for each intersection added. <br /> We would then repeat this process and cost in 2018 to pick up <br /> traffic counts and patterns with the opening of the new <br /> Highway alignment. These two data sets can then be analyzed <br /> and the cost of this analysis will be based on what information <br /> the City is looking for. <br /> We are proposing the Council consider obtaining traffic data to <br /> help them make informed choices on upcoming projects and <br /> traffic pattern changes. <br /> Council Action Requested: Council motion authorizing <br /> Widseth Smith Nolting to conduct 2017 and 2018 traffic <br /> studies and analysis at a cost not to exceed $8,000 for each <br /> year. <br />
