Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program

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.

Traffic Calming Program Application

Applications are available at the Public Works window at Civic Center but will also be available online if an applicant prefers to complete the application form electronically. Once received, city staff will begin evaluating the location with respect to several metrics.

Traffic calming applications are evaluated using a combination of safety, operational, and contextual factors. Staff will consider the following criteria when prioritizing potential improvements:

  • Operating speeds relative to the posted speed limit
  • Crash history
  • History of crashes involving vulnerable roadway users (people walking and bicycling)
  • Proximity to pedestrian-generating destinations, such as parks, schools, community centers, and recreation centers
  • Traffic volumes and congestion on local streets

Englewood Traffic Calming Application

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.

Additional Traffic Calming and Pedestrian Safety Improvement Projects

  1. East Dartmouth Ave. Traffic Calming
  2. Fox St. and Oxford Ave. Pedestrian Signal
  3. 3400 Block S. Broadway HAWK Beacon


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.
