Report from the Traffic Calming Committee - Bill Gillispie, Chairman

The first significant Traffic Calming proposal from the City, focusing on Price Street,  is now available for review and comment.  Please study this proposal and email your comments to DNA's Traffic Calming Chairman, Bill Gillispie, using the "Calm Sav Traffic" button below: PRICE STREET PROPOSAL  

Meanwhile, progress is in the works city wide.  The City's Citizen Office (Traffic Calming Lead) wants to have a traffic design meeting with us (DNA, Beach Institute and West Forsyth Associations) as soon as the City Council approves this plan.  This would take place over several nights - after 6 pm -- to develop a master plan for the next 10 years - more residential, bike, people, and tourist friendly.  We will post the times and place for this meeting here as soon as the City advises us.  If you are concerned about this issue, please plan to participate.

That said:  We can do something now!!!  Immediately!  We need to point out where we want a City Temporary Radar (e.g. Price and Whitaker), sign(s), and where we want consistent police speed enforcement.  Plus, where the speed limits should be dropped to 25 mph.  As well as new crossing signs, road median stanchions, etc.

The City will implement our guidance if it is consistent with existing priorities.
