Council members describe a Schumann Drive pilot to reconfigure stop control and add bike-only crosswalk
Summary
A council member described a trial plan for the Schumann Drive/Seminole Glen Park intersection that would remove one stop sign, create a bike-only, green‑painted crosswalk and install flex posts, converting another intersection to an all-way stop to calm traffic; the pilot uses paint and posts and would be evaluated with neighborhood feedback.
A council member briefed colleagues on a planned pilot to improve safety at the Schumann Drive and Seminole Glen Park area. The trial would remove one stop sign, convert the pathway to a bike-only, green-painted crosswalk, add flex posts for visual separation and make the park-side intersection an all-way stop; the pilot relies on paint and flex posts so no budget amendment is required.
The member said neighbors and the neighborhood association were supportive during outreach and that staff will gather feedback and consider permanent solutions if the pilot performs well. A colleague cautioned that removing a stop sign could reduce driver attention; the presenter said flex posts and lane shifts will provide visual traffic calming. The item will appear on the Transportation and Transit Commission agenda for additional review.
