The city yesterday added the Neighborhood Connections Story Board to the Streets for People Active Transportation Plan webpage. I encourage you to look at the entire storymap, but the traffic calming slides are worth sharing independently. The slideshow below has the 13 traffic calming features, with photos, brief descriptions, and relative costs. These traffic calming features are meant for local and minor collector streets, not for major collector and arterials streets. Note that the city is still using the outmoded classification system (local, collector, arterial) that focuses on motor vehicle throughput. This typology approach must change.
