Provide a narrative description of your idea in 250 words or less. Attach a separate sheet <br />if necessary: <br />This proposal calls, in the broadest terms, for the Administration to use 2018 to identify, begin <br />planning for, and possibly implement, additional streets in Lakewood upon which traffic calming <br />measures may be deployed. Ideally, two to three areas could be addressed with two to three new <br />traffic calming techniques to expand the City's experience with and data set on traffic calming. <br />2. Briefly explain how this will benefit the community: <br />Chronic speeding in neighborhoods ranks among the top complaints reported by Lakewood <br />residents. Lakewood is a walkable community investing heavily in repairing sidewalks to keep <br />our neighborhoods walkable, and Lakewood is working hard to keep itself hospitable to young <br />families, retirees, and people with mobility challenges alike. Chronic motor vehicle speeding <br />affects all of these groups. <br />3. Estimated expense (provide a range): <br />No dollar expenditure, but rather staff time to identify problem areas, conduct community <br />conversations, gather traffic counts, and to begin to devise solutions specific to one or more <br />areas. <br />4. If applicable, summarize any proposals or discussions from the past that are related to <br />this priority. <br />Woodward Avenue chicanes. <br />P, VA <br />
