Goal I: Safe & Secure Community
Objective 1.2: To ensure traffic and pedestrian safety.
Executive Summary:
Residents have requested traffic calming on Courtney Street due to concerns about speeding and cut-through traffic between Ramsey Street and Rosehill Road. Two petitions did not meet the Residential Traffic Management Program (RTMP) requirements. Following further review, staff recommend RTMP Option 3 of non-compliant installation, allowing City Council to direct staff to proceed with installation upon receipt of a petition with the needed signatures. If approved, staff recommend installing speed cushions instead of speed humps to minimize impacts on emergency response times.
Background:
Residents have requested traffic calming measures on Courtney Street. Speed humps have been requested, and staff have identified the impacted area if speed humps were to be installed. Two petitions have been held for the impacted parcels, with both failing to meet the standard process outlined by the RTMP.
