Apple Valley Road Traffic Calming and Bikeway
Apple Valley Road Traffic Calming and Bikeway
Residents in this neighborhood applied for the Traffic Calming Program with a goal of lowering traffic speeds on Apple Valley Rd and making the street safer for people walking, biking, taking transit, and driving. NDOT is working with nearby residents to choose a traffic calming design. In addition to traffic calming, Apple Valley will be repaved and the existing bikeway will be improved with protection and extended as a shared street.

Why we're asking
Residents in this neighborhood applied for the Traffic Calming Program with a goal of lowering traffic speeds on and making the street safer for people walking, biking, taking transit, and driving. NDOT is working with nearby residents to choose a traffic calming design and facilitate a voting process to approve or reject the plan.
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 and bikeway design concept. As the design is finalized, NDOT engineers will incorporate community feedback in design decisions.
