(A) Valencia County will prioritize pending projects on a fiscal year basis by assigning points to each project. Projects will be scheduled for detailed design and implementation based on their point scores and the capital improvement funds available for the fiscal year.
(B) Points will be assigned as follows:
(1) Speed. Two points will be assigned for every 1 mph that the 85th percentile speed is above the speed limit for the roadway.
(2) Pedestrian activity and facilities. Ten points will be assigned if the street has no sidewalks; 5 points will be assigned if the street has sidewalks on only 1 side or has discontinuous sidewalks. In addition, 10 points will be assigned for each pedestrian generator along the roadway section, for instance, a school playground, or park, and 5 points will be assigned if the street is designated as an on-road bike route.
(3) Street width. Five points will be assigned if the combination of street width and parking characteristic results in areas of single lane, alternating flow.
(C) The street yielding the highest numerical point score will be considered to have the highest priority. The street with the earliest application date will have the highest priority among streets with the same point score.
(D) When a budgeted amount for speed humps has been approved, the county will, starting at the top of the ranking list and proceeding in descending order, determine which installations will be funded from the budgeted amount. Representatives of the applicants for all approved speed hump installations will be notified of which requests have been funded for the upcoming fiscal year.
(E) As funding allows, preference shall be given to those roads qualifying for speed humps for which other improvements are already planned to be constructed.
