What we've learned
We receive hundreds of applications for traffic calming every year. We chose this street for the Traffic Calming Program because our traffic study showed it scored highly when evaluated in five key categories:
- Vehicular Speed (45%)
- How fast are vehicles traveling along the street?
- Volume (25%)
- How many vehicles are traveling on the street each day?
- Non-Driver Accommodations (15% )
- Are there sidewalks along the segment and/or bikeways and transit service close by?
- Vulnerable User Injury/Fatalities (10%)
- Have there been any pedestrians or bicyclists injured or killed on the street in the past 10 years?
- Trip Destinations (5%)
- Is the street close to common trip destinations like parks, schools, libraries, and community centers?
How you can help
Residents can get involved by reviewing and sharing feedback on the traffic calming design concept. Property owners can vote to approve or reject the traffic calming project if they own property with a property line along the affected street.
