AGENDA REQUEST & STAFF REPORT
For Board of Commissioners BOCC Wednesday Meeting of March 4, 2020
DATE: February 27, 2020
FROM: Cody Smith, Road Department,
TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM:
Consideration of Board Order No. 2020-008, Setting a Temporary Speed Limit of 35 MPH
on SW Canal Boulevard from MP 4.55 to MP 5.15
RECOMMENDATION & ACTION REQUESTED:
Motion for Approval of Order No. 2020-008.
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
The Deschutes County Road Department is delivering the SW Canal Blvd/SW Helmholtz Way
intersection improvement project, which includes constructing a left -turn lane at the
intersection of SW Canal Boulevard and SW Helmholtz Way. Construction of the left turn lane
will require the County's contractor to construct a temporary diversion road to provide for
continued public use of SW Canal Boulevard. Due to design constraints, the diversion road
requires a design speed of 35 mph.
Pursuant to ORS 810.180(8), a road authority may establish by ordinance or order a temporary
designated speed for a highway that is lower than the statutory speed. The Road Department
is requesting that a temporary designated speed of 35 mph be implemented on SW Canal Blvd
through the project work zone. The current statutory speed on SW Canal Blvd through the
work zone is 55 mph.
Adoption of Order No. 2020-008 will implement a temporary designated speed of 35 mph on
SW Canal Blvd through the work zone. The temporary designated speed will be in effect for
the duration of the intersection improvement project.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: Installation of the signs is included in the construction contract for
the SW Canal Blvd/SW Helmholtz Way Intersection Improvement project (Document No. 2020-
053).
