Traffic advisory proposals include speed bump, 15-mph residential limit and stop signs
Summary
The Traffic Advisory Committee reviewed options including adding a speed bump on Thomas Ave., lowering residential speed limits (proposal: 15 mph on some streets), and adding stop signs on Franklin St.; councilors did not take immediate action and discussion will continue.
Councilors reviewed recommendations from the Traffic Advisory Committee (meeting of Aug. 21, 2024) on several traffic-safety measures. The committee is considering adding a speed bump on Thomas Ave. to deter drivers avoiding the Burton Ave. traffic-calming measure, lowering speed limits on residential streets to 15 mph (proposed to include Cimarron Rd.), and installing stop signs at intersections along Franklin St.
The proposals were discussed as options rather than final actions. Public works staff advised that implementing traffic-calming measures and signage changes involve equipment, permitting and community notification; no formal vote was recorded. Councilors asked staff to continue evaluating feasibility and to return with recommendations.
