Without knowing what intersection you think is dangerous, I don't know how to respond specifically. The intersection of E Virginia Ln and E/W Grapefruit Cir is an all-way stop intersection. If motorist are violating the stop signs, then that is an enforcement issue to be addressed by the Sheriff's Dept.
The City of Clearwater appears to have annexed most of Calamondin Ln W giving them traffic control authority over it.
As far as installation of "speed control measures" on E Virginia Ln and W Grapefruit Cir, that cannot be done anonymously, or through a SeeClickFix. They can only be installed by going through the motions of the County's Residential Traffic Management (RTM) program.
Our RTM program was created to help address issues of speeding and cut thru traffic. It’s a multi-step program requiring the participation of an active homeowner’s association (HOA) or an individual citizen like yourself, willing to be the contact person.
The first step in the process requires the contact person circulate a study request form and obtain signatures from 33% of the households within the study request area and to complete and return the project application form. Once the forms are returned, we will place counters down on the road(s), at specific locations, to collect speed and volume data for a 24 hr to 48 hr period.
For a road to qualify for any type of traffic calming, counts must reflect excessive speeds and/or volumes. If the area is posted at 25 MPH, the speed of the 85th percentile would have to be at or above 37 mph (or 12 mph above the posted speed limit) to meet the speed warrant, and/or volumes would (at a minimum) need to exceed 10 trips per day per household within the study area to meet the volume warrant.
If the speed and/or volume warrant(s) are met, we prepare a traffic calming plan (TCP) for calming the roads along with petitions that over 50% of the property owners (renters can’t sign) within the affected area must sign and be in favor of the proposed traffic control measures, before they will be considered for approval. The contact person is required to circulate the petitions and obtain notification of 90% of all the property owners in the affected area. Keep in mind that the affected area may extend beyond just the property owners abutting the calmed street.
Stop signs are available for us to use to attempt to address speeding and/or cut thru issues. Unfortunately, speed humps were removed from the program some years ago, by the Board of County Commissioners, as part of their budget reductions, so they are not available for us to offer anybody for use with traffic calming.
Speeding is an enforcement issue that is often times best handled by the Sheriff’s office. Please feel free to contact Sgt Stephen Bergstrom, with the PC Sheriff’s Office, yourself at 727-582-6915 for assistance. I will assign this issue to the Sheriff for whatever action they deem appropriate.
Along with increased enforcement, we can also offer our SMARTrailer (radar speed feedback trailer). We can deploy it on your street for a week if that is of interest to you. We can also prepare you some Neighborhood Flyers to distribute. If you need more information about the RTM program, want some Neighborhood Fliers, or wish for us to deploy the SMARTrailer to your street, please call or email.
Should you require additional information, please contact us directly.
