The new format also provides a way of including additional information relating to the project, (such as identified in the Bike Plan), how different projects may work in concert with one another and contribute to the overall expansion of the transportation network. In the case of transportation demand management, the metric focuses on the number of activities designed to change behavior and the number of participants.
Only two traffic calming requests are included in the update. Staff has received a handful of traffic calming requests this spring and plans to reach out to neighborhood representatives to begin the petition process later this summer/fall, following the arrival of the new transportation planner on June 21st.
