Committee reviews crossing upgrades and radar-sign tests for Northside area
Summary
Staff proposed upgrading two flashing crossing lights to solar power near 13th Street and installing radar speed signs on 32nd and 31st Avenues to slow motorists approaching school areas; pricing and locations will be determined before further action.
Traffic staff flagged several near-term traffic-calming options for the Northside neighborhood: upgrading two flashing crossing lights near Cenex to solar power and testing radar speed signs that display motorists' speeds and flash when drivers exceed limits. "I'm looking at the radar speed signs that tell you what your speed is and start flashing if you're going too fast," the official said.
Staff said they are collecting pricing and will compare options such as radar signs versus speed bumps, and cautioned they may wait to see how traffic patterns settle after the high school opens before committing to permanent changes.
