TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE REPORT relative to reinstituting the City's speed hump program.

 

Recommendation for Council action:

 

INSTRUCT the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) to: 

  1. In conjunction with the City Administrative Officer, develop a funding strategy to restore a program for the installation and removal of speed humps based on traffic safety considerations, industry practices, and input from emergency response agencies.

  2. Report in 30 days to the Transportation Committee relative to modifying the LADOT's project application one-year expiration, creating procedures for installing self-funded speed hump projects, and preparing recommendations for identifying or establishing a list of qualified contractors to install new speed humps.

Fiscal Impact Statement: The LADOT reports that minimum dedicated staff would be required to administer the proposed application-based speed hump program model. The Department's proposed speed hump program is scalable depending on the level of community interest and available resources for construction. A reinstated program of one full-time engineer, two engineering associates, an engineering aide, and A contractor could process and install speed humps at approximately 150 locations at a cost of $2,080,000. This includes new installations and the removal of existing speed humps. Installing more speed humps will increase maintenance, resurfacing, signage, and striping costs.

 

Community Impact Statement: None submitted.

 

ADOPTED

 

AMENDING MOTION (MARTINEZ - BONIN)

 

Recommendation for Council action:

 

AMEND to add the following instruction to the Los Angeles Department of Transportation as follows:
