Mid-year progress report

Since the March meeting of Cabernet Neighborhood Watch. I worked to get several issues moved forward on the To Do List.

First on my list was to meet with Traffic Engineer.  I met with the Reno Traffic Engineer, Steve Wheeler, to discuss the placement of the signs. Per his recommendation, we reduced the number of signs from 3 to 2.

One sign will be placed West of Buck Drive entrance facing traffic coming from Lemmon Valley Dr.

The second sign will be placed South of Quill Dr along Rutherford Dr. facing South towards traffic coming from Beckwourth entrance.

Second on my list was a meeting with Reno Police.  On April 23, Reno Police held a community comment session in the Reno City Council Chambers.  Billie and I attended, and we met Chief Kathryn Nance and Asst Chief Chris Jacobson.  The meeting was designed for the community to provide information on RPD’s current and future deployment plan.

I used the opportunity to discuss the use of Radar Speed Signs to improve the efficiency of Traffic officer deployment.  This was well received by Chief Nance, the consultant helping to build the new deployment plan, and the audience.

I had a follow-up conversation with Asst Chief Jacobson.  This conversation covered both traffic enforcement and RPD support for Neighborhood Watch (Covering the 3rd item on the to-do-list.) These topics have led down two different paths. 

You can hear more information about these topics at our upcoming meeting ;
