The city is starting a new program to explore ways to make neighborhood streets safer, calmer, and easier to walk and bike. By reducing speeding and addressing problem areas, we want every resident to feel more comfortable getting around their community.
Our Goals
Make local roads safer for everyone.
Support safe walking and biking for kids, families, and neighbors.
Slow traffic where speeding is a concern.
Give neighborhoods practical tools for creating calmer, safer streets.
Build a Traffic Calming Toolbox
The toolbox will include a menu of potential solutions that could be used in neighborhoods across the city — things like speed humps, curb extensions, painted crosswalks, and signage. Each is designed to slow down traffic, increase visibility, and improve safety.
Create Clear Guidelines
Define when and where traffic calming tools are used, so the program is clear, consistent and fair.
Design the Details
Show how designs could look and function on local streets through location-specific case studies.
Equip City Staff for the Future
Deliver a user-friendly guide to help staff apply tools to future projects.
Important Note: This process will identify a set of recommended safety measures. No commitments have been made yet, and improvements would only move forward in the future if funding and approvals are secured.
