Project Status:
Four speed cushions have been installed on Centennial Blvd. between 21st and 28th streets. The city is collecting traffic data and seeking input through an online survey to help determine the next steps for speed-calming measures.
Project Description:
This pilot project consists of installing 4 sets of speed cushions, similar to speed humps, on Centennial Blvd. between 21st and 28th streets.
The City was contacted by residents living on this section of Centennial Blvd. with concerns about speeding vehicles causing unsafe conditions. City staff reviewed the request and installed traffic calming enhancements to reduce the speeds of vehicles. This includes a series of speed cushions which are like speed humps. However, speed cushions are installed with cut-outs to allow easier access by fire engines and other emergency vehicles. The speed cushions are installed as a temporary pilot project to gauge reactions from the community and help guide future traffic calming efforts. The pilot project will provide objective data from community feedback to help direct discussion with the city council and guide a policy regarding neighborhood concerns of speeding vehicles.
