Council hears traffic-calming policy update; Park Street flagged among highest priorities
Summary
Staff updated the council on the revised traffic-calming policy, shared a preliminary priority map derived from desktop analysis, and noted Park Street segments appear as high priorities; staff outlined next steps including public engagement and targeted data collection.
Staff updated the council on the city's revised traffic-calming policy, adopted in December, and presented a preliminary priority map derived from desktop analysis. The map highlights several locations where initial scoring exceeded conservative thresholds; staff noted the thresholds are intentionally conservative to focus efforts where they expect the highest impact.
Park Street (Park 3 and Park 4) stands out in the preliminary analysis as a high-priority corridor, a point staff said is timely given the Park Street striping and lane-layout discussion that followed. Staff described next steps: public engagement in affected neighborhoods, local speed studies (some via CCRPC equipment), and a design phase to refine priorities for implementation as resources permit.
