In Re: LMTING SPEED IN DRRH RESIDENTIAL AREA
(DRRH - Deschutes River Recreation Homesites)
Dear Commissioners:
In February 1998 several of us attended the public meeting at the Sunriver Great Hall. We
understand you, the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners, now have the authority to
approve "speed" signs.
Overwhelmingly citizens in the DRRH area are requesting posted speed signs. Some have
suggested as low as 25 mph. Some have suggested 30 mph, some 35 mph within the DRRH
residential area.
Enclosed are several letters and lots of signatures requesting speed limit signs be posted in our
DRRH area. We are especially concerned about safety of our children as well as adults. Now that
tourist season is here, many are unaware that this is a residential area with children at play and
adults out walking on the roads.
Please consider and approve our request for speed signs especially on the county roads: Solar,
Stellar, Lunar, etc. Please let us know your decision which will be communitcated to residents of
the community.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Lauris Rodier
Coordinator, DRRH Speed Signs Request
