Safety commission pushes traffic-calming review; city engineer to be invited
Summary
Council heard a safety commission update recommending city staff study traffic-calming options and suggested the city engineer attend a future meeting; traffic surveys for I Street were distributed and results expected before Christmas.
Council received a safety commission update that included community concerns about vehicles running stop signs and children playing in the street, prompting a request for staff analysis of traffic-calming measures. The liaison said the commission "proposed that we have city engineer attend a meeting next month to discuss speed bumps," and that I Street traffic surveys were distributed and expected back before Christmas.
Councilmembers discussed the need to balance costs for physical infrastructure and the traffic studies and recommended staff prepare ballpark cost estimates for speed bumps, speed humps and speed tables. The chair said such estimates should include both construction and the traffic-study work required to justify installations, citing recent work on Greenwood and South Greenwood as reference points.
