ROAD SAFETY
Historic Sargent Road and its neighboring streets are known regionally for their picturesque natural beauty and are enjoyed by residents, visitors, and commuters alike.
Sargent Road’s many turns and blind spots can create a hazard if drivers are not prepared. Encouraging respect for our safety-oriented ordinances requires constant monitoring and attention to issues that inevitably arise.
Your support for SRA pays for patrols (and the “Area Patrolled” signs along the length of Sargent Road) to encourage responsible driving and discourage criminal behavior.
The SRA Sponsored Traffic Officer Patrols Program (S.T.O.P.) is a contracted service that provides licensed police officers focused on traffic violations, who act with legal authority to give warnings and tickets since 2017.
SRA sponsorship for the patrols is necessary because the city does not have enough officer- hours to perform them. Their presence is intended to foster a safer road through respect for traffic ordinances.
The SRA Board contracts specific weeks and designates general areas for patrols but has no other input into the police work performed by our contractor, Geist Patrol.
SRA membership votes on a proposed budget for contracting with a private firm (Geist Patrol) to patrol Sargent Road and the surrounding streets throughout the year. It is intended to improve safety by encouraging respect for posted traffic rules, stop signs, and posted speed limits along Sargent Road as well as 86th and 82nd Streets, within our area of service. Detailed information and officer reports of these patrols can be viewed in our Annual Reports.
Your membership and targeted donations to our S.T.O.P. program will make a big difference in how many patrols the SRA can fund - and will directly impact the community in a positive way!
