Implementation: Engineering and Transportation shall implement the final approved plan. Generally, permanent installation of strategies will be included only within the capital improvement budget for the year the plan is implemented. If the Traffic Calming Plan exceeds the budget for the year, it will be phased. The first phase of the Plan will be for the budgeted amount for the first year. The subsequent phases of the Plan will be required to be reprioritized amongst the other neighborhoods the following year. New traffic data will be collected after the implementation of the first phase in order to determine the extent of the resulting traffic problem. Follow-up Evaluation: Six months or more after full Plan implementation, the Engineering and Transportation staff will conduct data collection to determine whether the problems have been reduced or eliminated. Only data related to the issues need be collected. A brief report will be prepared that can be mailed to all the residents signing the petitions (for and against). Removal or Appeals: Appeals against continuation of the calming improvements can be made at any time during the process. In order to appeal the use of or remove traffic calming devices, a petition needs to be signed by 67% of the residents within the neighborhood. The appeal will be agendized on the Planning Commission calendar, and the planned neighborhood improvements will be delayed pending the results of the appeal. Funding: Each year, the Engineering and Transportation Department shall propose a budget in the through the Capital Improvement Program for the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program. These resources may include consulting assistance or the retention of temporary staff for managing the various projects initiated during the budget year.
