Advisory panel outlines specific countermeasures for Parker/Main/Center, Timpani and Betty Spring Road
Summary
Staff outlined countermeasures — refuge islands, curb extensions, road diets, buffer bike lanes, rumble strips and guardrails — tailored to specific corridors identified by crash data and public input.
Liam walked the committee through countermeasures tied to observed crash types: at Parker/Main/Center he flagged 23–30 crashes in five years and failure-to-yield patterns, suggesting overall roadway redesign and pedestrian refuge islands; at Timpani Boulevard he recommended narrowed bike-lane delineation or refuge islands; and at Betty Spring Road he recommended centerline rumble strips, guardrails and shoulder improvements for roadway-departure risks.
The presentation tied each engineering option to the crash evidence and public feedback, and staff said treatments would be selected both at site (intersection/segment) and systemwide levels. Members emphasized pairing engineering with education and enforcement where appropriate.
