Traffic Management

City staff addresses resident concerns about excessive speeding and high volumes of traffic through standards set forth in the Guidelines for Neighborhood Traffic Management. This document contains strategies available to divert or otherwise alter traffic flow through neighborhoods, as well as strategies to calm traffic and reduce speeds.

Residents must submit either a Speed Control or Traffic Diversion petition to be considered for traffic calming. Upon receipt of such a petition, staff will contact the petitioner to discuss the issue and explain what steps staff will take to evaluate the neighborhood’s concern.
