Title
Resolution to Approve the Installation of Traffic Calming Devices on Traver Road
Memorandum
Attached for your approval is a resolution for the installation of traffic calming devices on Traver Road (Pear to John A Woods). The construction is expected to take place in 2008 construction season by the City’s contractor for the 2008 Annual Local Street Resurfacing project, and to be paid for from the approved Project Management Local Street, Traffic Calming Budget.

The adopted program allowed us to send a questionnaire to each address in the project area to determine their concerns, location of those concerns, and preferred traffic calming devices, among other information. This information proved useful in allowing us to attend the first meeting with a draft plan based on feedback from the residents. We walked the project limits and discussed the draft plan, making adjustments to be reviewed at the second meeting. At the second meeting, we shared the revised draft plan, had the devices painted on the street for visual review, and walked the project limits and discussed the revised draft plan, allowing for modification as necessary.
The final draft plan from the second meeting was mailed to the residents in the project area. Each household was surveyed if they support the plan as shown, or allowed to indicate device-by-device which portion or portions of the plan they supported. The final results are as follows:
