PUBLIC COMMENT / TTAC MEMBER ITEMS Shelley Chase provided written comments regarding Fern St. safety concerns which was proved to TTAC via email today. Tegan noted that there is currently traffic calming provided through speed humps and over 85% of the traffic travels at or below the speed limit of 25 mph. Fern St.will be added to the speed reduction list presented to Council to reduce it to 20 mph. Only one crash appears in the annual ODOT crash data. Street improvements must be ADA compliant and several issues are likely to prevent an inexpensive shoulder widening which would require extensive vegetation removal. The temporary Streets for People program will restart in the spring and this area can be evaluated to see if it qualifies. Staff will look at other options and talk to more neighbors and report back to TTAC at an upcoming meeting. 5.
