Manchester Road Traffic Calming Review

Traffic calming helps reduces the negative effects of traffic on neighborhood streets, communities, and public facilities like parks and schools.

We use traffic calming techniques when we cannot address concerns like these any other way:

• Speeding
• Collisions
• Through traffic issues
• Pedestrian safety
• General traffic issues

City Council approved Manchester Road to be considered for traffic calming. Their decision was based on complaints, our review of traffic issues on Manchester Road, traffic data, and a comparison with other roadways. Before considering traffic calming measures, we will do a review. This review includes extensive public engagement. We will share information through a public meeting, called a Public Information Center (PIC). We will also assess different alternatives, based on social, economic, and environmental effects.

Above is a map of the study area we will review. This includes addresses on Manchester Road and other properties that may be affected.
