Traffic Calming Projects  

 

North Volker Traffic Calming

​

The current proposal would include calming measures installed along Genessee at intersections of 36th, 37th and 38th Steet. The project goals are reduced speeding and improved safety by:

​

1- Discouraging non-resident drivers from speeding thru residential streets in effort to by-pass 39th Street.

​

2- Using curb extension bulb-outs to constrict traffic lanes and turning radii. 

 

3- Adding 4-way stops at all intersections and improve visibility of existing/planned stop signs by placing them further into the street within the painted bulb-out areas.

​

4- Using low cost but durable materials to test the efficacy of calming measures to achieve calming goals. If effective, we will pursue a permanent solution (e.g. permanent curbs instead of painted bulb-outs) and if not effective, we will remove them.
