Process:
Requests will be reviewed and evaluated to assess the situation and develop solutions to address the concern. To assist in this process, data will be collected to ensure the most appropriate measures and devices are utilized and to determine the resulting effectiveness.
Within thirty (30) days of receipt of a request, an analysis will be conducted. The most advantageous solution will be implemented from the Initial Options category.
Should further analysis show the solution is not effective in resolving neighborhood traffic concerns, an additional traffic calming tool from the Initial or Secondary Options may be considered. Factors such as road width, alignment, and configuration may prevent the use of Secondary Solutions. Additionally, some of the solutions within this category may require consensus by a majority of neighborhood residents.
Purpose:
The City strives to improve the livability of neighborhoods by controlling the impacts of outside traffic influences on residential streets. Working in partnership with residents, the City aims to enhance safety in neighborhoods by determining and implementing the most appropriate traffic calming measures. This process involves a comprehensive evaluation of entire neighborhoods to assess the situation, determine the right solution and ensure traffic problems are not moved from one street onto another. Impacts to public safety are of the utmost concern and will serve as a primary factor in the application of traffic calming measures and traffic control devices.
