City says neighborhood buy-in required before advancing traffic-calming measures
Summary
City Engineer Dennis Carr said staff will seek broader neighborhood agreement before dedicating resources to traffic-calming requests, to avoid addressing isolated or single-person complaints.
Dennis Carr, the city engineer, told residents the city wants broader neighborhood input before advancing traffic-calming changes. "There have been times in the past where 1 person has thought there was a problem, but nobody else did," Carr said, and he added the city seeks "a little bit more of a buy in from the community" so changes reflect neighborhood-level concerns.
Carr said the intent is to avoid expanding staff resources on disputes that do not reflect a wider community issue; staff may recommend options but neighborhood acceptance will be a significant factor in whether measures move forward. He closed by encouraging residents to participate so the city can hear and consider neighborhood-level concerns.
