TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM:
Consideration of Board Signature of Order No. 2014-013, Setting a Temporary Speed Limit of25 miles
per hour on Skyliners Road within the Construction Zone for the Sky liners Waterline Installation
Project.
PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS DATE? NO.
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
The City of Bend is in the process of installing their waterline in Sky liners Road. As part of this
project, traffic on Skyliners Road will be limited to one lane through the construction area. Once the
contractor is past the subdivision, which has a speed limit of 25 mph, they will be working within a 45
mph speed limit. The contractor is requesting that a construction speed zone be installed to slow traffic
down and increase safety within the work area. After review of the plans, it was decided to have a
construction speed zone of 25 mph established by order of the BOCC during construction. Per ORS
810.180(8), A road authority may establish by ordinance or order a temporary designated speed for
highways that is lower than the statutory spreed. This 25 mph speed zone will apply only within the
work zone as shown on Exhibit nAn that is attached to the Order. This speed zone with also move in
conjunction with the pipe line installation. The necessary signs for this speed zone will be installed by
the contractor. This speed zone will be in effect for the duration of the pipe installation on Skyliners
Road.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
NONE
