Trustees back short-term pilots — paint, barrels and plastic bumps — while planning long-term projects
Summary
Trustees encouraged seasonal pilot tests of low-cost traffic-calming measures (painted crosswalks, barrels, plastic bump strips) to evaluate effects before permanent work and asked staff to create a vetted list of temporary options.
Resident (Speaker 8) urged immediate action for her condominium community: "the whole community of Mount Sopris Park condominiums would love to see a bump strip rolled out tomorrow on WENT and another 1 right in front of our units on Euclid." That request set off a broad discussion about which quick fixes are appropriate, where they work and how to remove them for winter.
Trustees agreed on two themes: pilot temporary measures where they are likely to help, and formalize a small set of vetted options so staff can respond quickly to complaints without creating unintended hazards. Speaker 1 proposed a "whiskey barrel list" of portable interventions and an annual short-season report to capture what worked and what didn't.
