The City of Raleigh’s goal is to complete three major traffic-calming projects and eight to 10 minor projects a year on residential streets. Major projects would entail significant modification to a street, including installing curb extensions, median islands, bulb-outs or traffic circles. Minor projects would typically include speed humps or speed tables. Below are major traffic-calming projects that are currently in the design process: • Kaplan Drive from Kent Road to Melbourne Road; Minor traffic-calming projects are listed in two categories: minor projects beginning the construction process and minor projects in the design process. Minor projects beginning the construction process are: • Shelley Road from North Hills Drive to Six Forks Road; Minor traffic-calming projects proceeding through the design phase are; • Lake Boone Trail from Dixie Trail to Brooks Avenue; The City Council is scheduled to receive an update on traffic-calming projects at its Sept. 18 meeting. For more information about the City of Raleigh’s traffic-calming efforts, including the citizen petition process, contact Traffic Calming Coordinator Thomas Fiorello at 919-996-4066 or Thomas.Fiorello@raleighnc.gov; or visit the City’s website at www.raleighnc.gov. |
