Regional Director RECEIVED APR:222020 OFFICE WINDSOR, OF THE TOWNO ICLERK  Department of Transportation  March 5, 2020  Ms. Susan Brown Commissioner Deputy Broome County Highway 47 Thomas Street Binghamton, NY 13901  of Public Works  NY  Dear Deputy Commissioner Brown:  RE: REQUEST FOR SPEED LIMIT REDUCTION TOWN OF WINDSOR, BROOME COUNTY  ATWELL HILL ROAD  This is a follow-up to our February 7, 2020, letter to you. The Traffic Safety and Mobility Office (TSMO) has completed their review of the speed limit on Atwell Hill  Road.  With such low traffic volumes on Atwell Hill Road, conventional methods of identifying operating speeds could not be employed. Therefore, the review process included multiple trips within the limits requested, driving 5 MPH intervals and identifying as speed that is reasonable and enforceable. This is a common method used for setting speed limits on low volume roads. After considering the roadside friction, development, physical features, and the geometry of the roadway, the engineer identified the appropriate speed limit. The speed limit will be reduced to 40 MPH on Atwell Hill Road. A copy of enclosed Notice of Order 11 03.24 (z) establishes 40 MPH as the maximum linear speed for Atwell Hill Road, between State Line Road, CR 225 and Vinegar Hill Road, a distance of 3.2 +/- miles, in the Town of Windsor.  The Town of Windsor will be responsible for signing Atwell Hill Road. The new speed limit signs must be installed in accordance with Title 17B of the New York State official Compilation of Rules and Regulations (New York State Supplement to the National Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices). In addition, the Town may want to  review the existing warning signs.  50 Wolf Road, Albany, NY 12232 www. .dot.ny.gov    Ify you have any questions, please feel free to contact Pamela Gendron, PE at  (607)721-8072.
