Our next meeting is scheduled for April 15th at 9:30 AM at the Thomas G. Crowder Woodland Center and our District D City Councilor Jane Harrison plans to be in attendance.
Our guest this month with be Will Shumaker from the City of Raleigh Transportation Department – Mobility Strategy and Infrastructure Division. The City is beginning the conversation on neighborhood Traffic Calming with three streets in District D (Fairway Dr, Deboy St, and Brooks Ave). Will is reaching out to these three streets associated with their projects. He will outline plans for placing speed humps on sections of the three streets to reduce vehicle speeds and talk about traffic calming done by the City.
The white speed humps that have been marked on the pavement in each area are staff starting the conversation with the neighborhood. They looked at traffic calming best practices and laid out a design they felt would be very effective at slowing down drivers. They want to hear from the neighborhood because we are the ones that see traffic and see its use patterns on a daily basis.
If you have topics you would like to discuss or items to bring to the table please reply to this email and we’ll share them with Councilor Harrison before the meeting. You can also bring up topics directly at the meeting.
Look forward to seeing you! If you are unable to attend our next meeting is tentatively planned for May 20th at 9:30 AM. |
