evaluated geometric characteristics and provided the recommendations to the Upper <br />County Traffic Committee. Four presentations were made by Fehr & Peers to the UCTC, <br />seeking feedback from committee members and how to prioritize traffic calming devices. <br />Traffic counts and speed data were also collected for the week of Labor Day 2020. This <br />data provided for an analysis of vehicle speeds and volumes on non -holiday weekends <br />and Labor Day. <br />Fehr & Peers met with the UCTC on January 20, 2021 to prioritize locations and specific <br />traffic calming devices. The final recommendation memo dated February 11, 2021 <br />included eight formal recommendations. Of the eight recommendations, five were <br />directly implemented, two were implemented with modifications and one was not <br />implemented. A memo summarizing the implementation activities is found in Exhibit 1. <br />The evaluation and review performed by Fehr & Peers helped to identify the need for <br />improvements on I-90. Improvement to the Interstate would allow for traffic to remain on <br />I-90 and not bypass onto County roads seeking to avoid backups. The work program <br />from the UCTC helped to guide the Board of County Commissioner efforts to create the <br />STEER I-90 Coalition efforts towards solving Upper County long term traffic concerns. <br />The Upper County Traffic Committee was then disbanded on November 15, 2021. <br />FISCAL IMPACT: <br />Implementation of recommended traffic calming measures is complete. Any additional <br />traffic calming measure implementation will require additional funding. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />Exhibit 1: Upper County Traffic Calming Device Implementation Memo <br />
