Summary This project reviews community comments regarding traffic on residential collector and local access streets, prioritizes locations, and constructs traffic calming measures where appropriate. Description The City Council adopted the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program in July, 2003 to provide comprehensive and objective approach to traffic calming on local residential and residential collector roadways. Traffic calming is the use of engineered solutions to reduce vehicle speeds to an appropriate level and to encourage motorists to utilize appropriate through routes across the City. Acceptable traffic calming measures include but are not limited to speed humps, traffic circles, chicanes, raised crosswalks/intersection, medians, and bulb outs. Project Scope: Evaluate citizen requests for traffic calming, determine appropriate measures, and create a prioritized list for construction in accordance to procedure defined in the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program.
