I reached out to HoCo police today at the number you provided. Here is the result of that phone exchange.
1. The non-emergency operator was not able to handle this issue so she gave me the number for the local duty officer department.
2. The local duty officer took a message and I got a return call within 2 hours from an officer that referred me to the traffic enforcement section of the police force.
3. After being transferred to that specific office I received a message that said they would not be back in the office until July 5.
4. I left a message with that office outlining your scheduling to send an engineer to do a traffic study and your advising us to report the speeding issue to the HoCo police for enforcement support.

Thanks for continuing to move this project along in the pipeline.
Could you give us an idea as to when the traffic study engineer might begin their evaluation?

Could you update us with the latest developments?

I just spoke with Officer Salato from the traffic enforcement section of the HoCo Police and he informed me that his department does not have the capacity to do a speed study in our neighborhood. He said that their caseload is such that it would be over a year before they could devote attention to this project. He advised us to continue to work with your there in the traffic engineering division to move this request forward.
We would love an update from your office to let us know of your progress on this matter.
Thank you

1. He did a site visit and evaluated road curve, sight lines, road width, Columbia path location, ADA ramp placement among other things in relation to pedestrian crossing safety
2. He looked at the records from previous evaluations of traffic and speed in this area and saw that the data needs to be updated.
3. He will be looking into this project and should have a realistic timeline in place in about two weeks.
Thanks again!!

A marked crosswalk with bump out on the southbound Tamar Drive near CA pathways is an ideal location for pedestrian and cyclists crossing. Pending on funding, the design and construction may start in FY24, after July 1st, 2023.

As you consider the usage of this road I thought it might be important to know its use throughout the summer. Attached is a picture of the area when the pool is in use. This might affect bike lane plans.
