Yes I agee. TI Police Dept needs to start also ticketing jay walkers coming out of the Thunderbird and especially those at the intersection at The Wafflehouse that cross in the intersection when the pedestian light is signaled DO NOT CROSS or at other intersections in town i.e. outside the Bilmar. Safety for all...local residents and tourists.

PIO MS ha assegnato questo problema a PWD-MH

What???? Can you write your reply in plain English? What is PIO MS, PWD-MH????? All we want to know it the purpose of these surveillance devices! What is the purpose of these surveillance devices????

First, I am sorry for the confusion. The 'PIO MS' and 'PWD-MH" are the staff that worked this issue. PIO is the Public Information Officer. He is the one who first opened and looked at the Issue. He then assigned this Issue to the Public Works Department (PWD-MH) for the resolution.

To answer your question about the device. We believe that this device belongs to the Department of Transportation (DoT), and that they are using this device as part of a traffic study. Our Public Works Director has contacted DoT to inquire about this device and is waiting for a reply.

We will post that reply when we receive it.

They are not surveillance devices. They are not owned or operated by the City of Treasure Island.

Thank you.

Thank you for explaining the abbreviations! That clears things up a bit. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't it seem a little odd that the DOT can set up a traffic study on Treasure Island WITHOUT notifying any Treasure Island city officials beforehand?? Thanks again for the information.

Gulf Boulevard is a State Road and is maintained by the Department of Transportation. While it would be nice if DoT would notify the City, it is not a requirement.

I agree. Thank you for your prompt and informative replies. Much appreciated! Have a great weekend.

Here is the response received thru DOT regarding the inquiry:
We did have the video turning movement counters out there at 107th, 112th, and 117th, installed on February 22nd and removed on the 27th. They were out there in support of a traffic signal retiming effort for those three signals that is now underway.

Thank you for reporting this issue request via SeeClickFix. The issue you reported has been fixed and we are closing this issue.

Was it DOT?

Yes. Traffic Study completed by company FDOT hired.
