Biking & Walking:

Other: Hello. I think our neighborhood is actually putting together a committee as so many people are concerned and keep complaining about speeding traffic on east morningside drive but we had a neighbor suggest a great idea of parking on the street or otherwise narrowing the street to slow down traffic, not just speed bumps. So ideas like https://www.smartcitiesdive.com/ex/sustainablecitiescollective/12-ways-slow-down-traffic-car-oriented-city/262221/. A neighbor suggest lines (or art) could be painted as an option to try. I forget what city it was but they simply painted parallel lines a few feet in from both sides of the road and it slowed traffic. Maybe this is cheaper for the city and can be tried? I hope someone from our neighborhood reaches out more formally soon and gives you all a call. I think we'll be part of the super cool 7-line someday? And guess we'll have something change then probably that hopefully will fix this. Maybe we can get the narrowing lines until then? The street is oddly too good right now, as it's clear and wide and easy to drive fast on! Can we get a random basketball goal and court painted? that would make cars slow down and think twice :) Take back our streets! Pleaes don't forget us. Thank you for making improvements to our safety in our neighborhoods! I drive like many, but there's no reason we can't slow down once we enter our residential neighborhoods.

I am happy to hear that the neighborhood is interested in organizing traffic calming. In January, we will be opening a request for projects to the Resident-Traffic Calming process which will go into effect when the updated Traffic Calming Policy is approved by City Council. While I appreciate the place-making tactics for slowing speeds, research tells us that speed cushions are the most effective for the cost. Unfortunately, we cannot install speed cushions until the traffic calming policy is updated, and I would advise not to add any place-making installations without the speed cushions in place at this time. I will reach out to the Morningside Drive neighborhood when the RFP is open for applications. Thank you
