Traffic Calming Surveys

The City of Springfield’s traffic calming surveys for West D Street, Mill Street, and Daisy Street are now closed. Thank you to everyone who took the time to participate and share feedback. Community input is an important part of evaluating transportation projects and helps us better understand how traffic calming measures are working in neighborhoods throughout Springfield.

As part of the City’s ongoing effort to evaluate traffic calming measures and improve street safety, community members were invited to provide feedback on three streets with recent traffic-calming improvements. This work builds on the pilot project on Centennial Boulevard, which added speed cushions designed to slow traffic and improve safety for people walking, biking, and driving.

Each street plays an important role in the community. West D Street is the city’s busiest bike corridor and a key connection between downtown and the Eugene-Springfield Northbank Path, where speed humps and a raised crosswalk were installed to slow traffic and improve comfort for people walking and biking.

Mill Street, a neighborhood collector connecting to both Centennial Boulevard and Main Street, was recently reconstructed with raised crosswalks and speed humps to address deteriorating pavement and long-standing safety concerns for pedestrians and bicyclists.
 
Daisy Street is part of a planned east-west bikeway designed to provide a safer alternative to Main Street, with improvements such as raised crossings, accessibility upgrades, and traffic calming features already in place along portions of the corridor.
 
Feedback gathered through these surveys will help City traffic engineers and the Springfield City Council evaluate how well these measures are improving safety, influencing driver behavior, and supporting safe, accessible travel for all users. The input received will help guide future decisions about where and how traffic calming tools are used across Springfield.
