The Board Members of the Bend-Cascade View Estates Tract 2, Special Road District
would like to ask for a Traffic /Speed Survey on Elk(off Juniper), Deschutes, Todd, Raven,

SUBJ: Speed zones for roads in Bend-Cascade View Estates
BACKGROUND
The Road Department received a request from the Bend-Cascade View Estates Tract 2
Special Road District to reduce the speed of traffic on roads certain roads within the
District. Bend-Cascade View Estates Special Road District is located approximately 11
miles east of Bend and is accessed from the Alfalfa Market Road. The roads included in
the request are Todd Road, Elk Lane, Deschutes Road, Fremont Road, and Raven Lane.
All of these roads are maintained by the Special Road District.
Deschutes County has been delegated authority, by the State of Oregon, to establish
speed zoning on low volume (less than 500 vehicles per day) 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.
INVESTIGATION OF THE REQUEST
The Road Department conducted field speed studies on the above roads. The complete
results of the studies are in the attached report. The studies consisted of measuring the
speed and volume of vehicles using the road. The results varied slightly, but were
consistent with rural subdivisions.
The Road Department forwarded the speed zone requests to the Sheriff's Department
with a recommendation of 30 mph.. John Diehl of the Sheriff's Department reviewed
this request and agreed that a 30 mph speed zone appropriate for these roads.
RECOMMENDATION
The Road Department recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the
Orders setting the speed limit on Todd Road, Elk Lane, Deschutes Road, Fremont Road,
and Raven Lane to 30 mph. If the Board establishes the speed zones the Road
Department will install the speed signs on the roads as soon as possible. The Road
District will be responsible for maintenance of the speed signs.
