PALMETTO BAY, FL, AUGUST 18, 2016 -
The Palmetto Bay Village Council approved a permanent traffic calming plan at the Aug. 15 Special Council Meeting. This plan is the first of its kind since 2010 and will permanently calm traffic in five different areas of the Village.
The resolution states that Williams Paving Company will provide construction services for the installation of multiple, permanent asphaltic speed tables in the following locations:
- 2 tables will be placed on SW 77th Avenue between Old Cutler Road and 176th Street
- 2 tables will be placed on SW 174th Street between Old Cutler Road and SW 77th Avenue
- 2 tables will be placed on SW 83rd Avenue between SW 180th Street and SW 184th Street
- 2 tables will be placed on SW 93rd Avenue between SW 174th Street and 182 Street
- 3 tables will be placed on SW 94th Avenue between SW 176th Street and SW 183rd Terrace
In December of 2015, the Public Services Department commenced a pilot program for placement of temporary speed hump devices for a 90-day period at locations that were identified in the June 18, 2015 Traffic Calming Initiative Presentation. The temporary traffic calming devices installed effectively reduced speeds to 25 mph or less with nominal reduction in volume thus resulting in the permanent plan for the areas identified above.
Construction is set to begin in September for the permanent speed tables; the Village of Palmetto Bay is committed to the safety and livability of its residential neighborhoods and is confident that the permanent traffic calming devices will substantially improve the flow of traffic.
