Clark County outlines neighborhood traffic management plan after 100+ resident requests
Summary
County traffic staff told residents the neighborhood traffic management program has received more than 100 requests countywide, outlined eligibility criteria for traffic calming, and said staff will collect speed and collision data to prioritize projects and return to the neighborhood with proposed solutions.
Clark County Public Works staff briefed Flight Community residents on a neighborhood traffic management program that collects resident requests for local traffic calming and safety improvements. "We had over 100 requests that came in," said Max, the county's neighborhood traffic management engineer, describing the intake and the program's evaluation process.
David Jardine, traffic engineering section manager, said eligible requests must be on a neighborhood street within Clark County (not inside an incorporated city) and address issues the county can fix with its traffic‑calming toolbox. He listed common tools — speed humps, median islands, striping, curb extensions, education and targeted enforcement — and said data collection (speed and volume counts) will determine priority and funding feasibility.
Staff reviewed sample applications from the Flight area, including reports from Northwest 50th Avenue, Northwest 112th/110th (school zone speeding), Northwest 127th Street (where speed humps already exist), and a crosswalk request at Filbert Community Park. Jardine said staff will prioritize based on measured speeds, proximity to schools, parks and transit stops, and available funds, and will present recommended solutions to the community later in the year.
Residents pressed county staff on response time and staffing. Jardine said his section currently includes two traffic engineers and two engineering technicians supporting the entire county, plus the new neighborhood traffic management engineer, and committed to produce a prioritization plan and return with measurable progress within months. "I am currently working with my staff to come up with a prioritization method so that we can identify the highest priority issues to tackle those first," he said.
On enforcement and parks issues, Marilyn McCall (deputy program coordinator) said the sheriff's office and parks staff are working on motorbike and scooter problems in parks but that enforcement options are limited by safety concerns; she said county staff expect to provide an update at the next neighborhood meeting (target July 15).
