Deschutes County received a petition signed by 34 residents of the Skyline Subdivision
to change the Basic Rule speed (55 mph) to 35 mph speed zones on that portion of
Skyliners Road between Boulder Road and the end of the road at OMSI. This is a
distance of 0.84 miles.
The Road Department forwarded the speed zone request to the Deschutes County
Sheriff's Department. Sergeant John Diehl of the Sheriff s Department agreed with the
homeowner's recommendation that the speed zones this portion of Skyliners Road should
be 45 mph. John's reason for this recommendation is "This is a road with homes fronting
the road and Skyliners Road has a lot of recreational traffic using it. A speed zone will
make more consistent enforcement possible than with VBR."
Deschutes County has been delegated authority to establish speed zoning on low volume
(less than 500 ADT) and/or unpaved County roads. This authority was granted under the
condition that the County follows the engineering principles of and the criteria adopted
by ODOT for the investigation and establishment of speed zones.
The Road Department completed the speed study (see attached) and recommends that the
Deschutes County Board of Commissioners establish a 45 mph speed zone on Skyliners
Road. The Road Departments recommendation is based on the volume of traffic, existing
traffic speeds, and number of accidents. If the Board establishes a speed zone, the Road
Department will install the speed signs on Skyliners Road as soon as possible.

Skyliner Residents

Bend, Oregon 97701
JUL 2 81995
DESCHUTES CO, ROAD DEPT,
As residents of rural Skyline Subdivision, we have a safety
concern. Many traveling Skyliners-Road far exceed a safe speed.
An increase in traffic all along scenic Skyliners Road is
notable, thus, impacting our small neighborhood. The public uses
the 10 miles of paved road surface ygar round to recreate (bike,
jog, skate, etc).. It's route takes many others to Tumalo Falls,
the OMSI science camp for kids, hikes,* skiing, and snowmobiling,
etc. Accidents are on the rise including several deer fatalities.
Skyliiners Road has no posted speed limit. Our main concern is
around the residential area, mile post 8 to mile post 10. Here
the 55 MPH state standard for a rural county road such as ours
exceeds a safe speed.
It is our request please, to post speed limits and lower speed
limits especially in the vicinity of our homes. I I
A responce would be appreciated.
Thank you:
