Host (Council member) opened the meeting, introduced the purpose: to explain NDOT's neighborhood street traffic-calming program, review a proposed plan for Estes Road, and collect community feedback; noted this is an application-driven program and residents who abut the street will vote on any final plan.
NDOT staff and a council member hosted a neighborhood meeting about a proposed traffic-calming plan for Estes Road (Woodlawn Drive to Woodmont Boulevard). NDOT presented data that triggered selection (85th percentile 37 mph; ~3,500 vehicles/day), proposed seven speed-cushion sets and other measures, and residents raised concerns about pedestrian safety at Woodmont Park, diversion to side streets, bicycle safety and ballot details. Next steps: design refinements, coordination with parks and police, a second neighborhood meeting and an online ballot requiring 66% approval.
