Hi All,
Just wanted to check in on the progress of the speed study for OR 211/Main St., and make sure you were not waiting on additional information with the City. Please let me know if there is any additional information needed.

Hello,
Here are my comments regarding our Speed Zone Request submittal. I had some confusion also with the existing order you mentioned in a prior email. And thank you for the reminder, I have been swamped due to a recent reduction. However, here are my comments regarding the clarification requested. I also have no preference with how you would like to label the descriptions and ect. (see attached) Please see my comments below in RED and let me know if there are any further questions.
MP 10.98 – MP 11.31, Existing 40 mph (Do Not Investigate) Correct
MP 11.31 –MP 12.48 (shows on existing order 12.51), Existing 40 mph, request 25 mph Requesting 25 mph, However the Police Chief is requesting reducing the speed to 35 mph, and then to 25 mph near Hezzie Ln. (MP 12.04) or S. Leroy Ave. (MP 12.16). I would even consider reducing it to 25 mph sooner near Molalla Forrest Rd. (MP 11.71) prior to the narrowing lanes before crossing the Bear Creek Structure. The City has significant safety concerns for peds/bikes that share the bridge crossing with motorists regularly.
MP 12.48 (12.51) – MP 12.97 Existing 25 mph (Do Not Investigate?) Correct
MP 12.97 – MP 13.61, Existing 35 mph, request 25 mph Correct
MP 13.61 – MP 14.60, Existing 55 mph, request 40 mph (enforcement suggests 45 mph) Yes the request is 40, however 45 mph is acceptable.

Jennifer Cline, P.E.

Nope. Best I can tell, the ball is still in Molalla’s court. So, no request entered in the database yet.
Yours,
Craig

Jennifer,
I am also confused on the speed requests. I found another existing Order that covers the 40 mph in place from MP 10.98 to MP 12.25 (attached). So, is this what you are trying to convey?
MP 10.98 – MP 11.31, Existing 40 mph (Do Not Investigate)
MP 11.31 –MP 12.48 (shows on existing order 12.51), Existing 40 mph, request 25 mph
MP 12.48 (12.51) – MP 12.97 Existing 25 mph (Do Not Investigate?)
MP 12.97 – MP 13.61, Existing 35 mph, request 25 mph
MP 13.61 – MP 14.60, Existing 55 mph, request 40 mph (enforcement suggests 45 mph)

Jennifer – See attached, I believe that the red corrections accurately describe the road/area of your interest – also, I believe you refer to a map that’s not attached. And if I’m correct, we’re still waiting for county concurrence, right?
Yours,
Craig

Joe,
We will need your concurrence since a section requested is outside city limits.
Jennifer,
Could you please clarify what you mean for requested speed and existing speed for section from MP 12.98 – MP 14.60? I think we will make these requests into one request since these sections of highway are all listed on one existing speed zone order (see attached).
Thanks,
Kathi

Hi,
Attached are two speed zone requests for OR 211 through the Molalla area. The City has recently been in discussions with Rich Watanabe, other Region 1 representatives and Clackamas County focusing on improving pedestrian safety and accident reduction on OR 211. As a result, we would like to request a speed study to reduce the limit and improve safety for overall local citizens and users passing through.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the requests.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Cline, P.E.
