1. Consider Speed Limit Reduction on Quicksilver Street: City Engineer Westby stated that the purpose of the case is to consider a request to reduce the speed limit on Quicksilver Street, south of 167^th and north of Elmcrest Park.  He noted that staff received a request from the property owner at 16601 Quicksilver Street to reduce the speed limit on Quicksilver Street, south of 167^th Avenue and north of Elmcrest Park.  This property owner has reported excessive speeds along this segment of Quicksilver Street, and recently experienced damage to their landscaping and mailbox due to vehicles leaving the roadway.  He stated that this section of Quicksilver currently has no posted speed limit, but based on its functional classification as a local street and the properties it serves, the street could be posted at 30 mph. Motion to ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee for City Council to leave the segment of Quicksilver Street between 167^th Avenue and Elmcrest Park unposted as to the speed limit, to direct staff to place the speed trailer along this street segment when the trailer is available, and to direct staff to reach out to the soccer association with a reminder to watch for speeds. 
 

Motion to recommend that City Council ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee.
