Traffic Safety Board

Overview

The Traffic Safety Board is appointed by the City Council and serves as an advisory board to the City Council and city administration. The Traffic Safety Board consists of five community members (residents of the City of Sherwood) appointed to one year terms, and two Police Advisory Board Members. The Board was established for the purpose of promoting traffic safety through investigation, study, and analysis of traffic safety programs; educating the community regarding traffic safety; reviewing and responding to traffic safety complaints; and advising the City Council and City Manager on traffic safety related issues.

The Board shall:

  • Receive complaints from the community regarding traffic safety concerns in the City of Sherwood.
  • Investigate and review each complaint and consult with City staff and outside agencies as the committee deems necessary in connection with its review.
  • Make recommendations, as the committee deems necessary and appropriate, regarding solutions to complaints received. Recommendations shall be made to the person(s) with the authority to implement the recommended solution (e.g. Police Chief, City Manager, City Council).
  • Provide a response to each person who submits a traffic safety complaint to the committee.
  • In response to requests from the City Manager or the City Council, provide review and recommendations regarding other traffic safety related issues.
  • Educate the community regarding traffic safety.

The Traffic Safety Board generally meets the fourth Thursday of every month at 6 pm at the Sherwood Police Department (Community Room), 20495 SW Borchers Drive, Sherwood, Oregon.
