East Dayton resident urges study of parking, speeding and alley conditions
Summary
A resident described repeated vehicle damage and narrow streets in East Dayton, asked the commission for traffic engineering input and possible mitigation measures; a commissioner asked staff to follow up with an engineering assessment.
Kevin Keller, a resident of East Dayton, told the commission that parked vehicles and narrow street widths have contributed to repeated sideswipe damage and unsafe speeding in his neighborhood. "We have a problem in East Dayton, which I really hope one day we can solve," Keller said, describing three incidents of his wife's vehicle being sideswiped in just over two years and a context of vehicles parking partially on curbs.
Keller said some neighborhood streets measure about 10 feet of usable width between parked cars, making it difficult for two vehicles to pass. He asked the city to consider traffic enforcement or engineering responses such as a traffic study, speed-reduction measures or modifications to curb/sidewalk widths.
In closing comments, Commissioner Jones asked staff to follow up and suggested the city civil engineering group assess whether modifications or a traffic study would be reasonable to address resident citations and safety concerns.
No formal action was recorded at this meeting beyond a request that staff review the issue.
