I believe the traffic calming project started with good intentions, however the final result has had the opposite effect. I have a few questions regarding how we got here.
-What studies or data were gathered to determine that such drastic measures were warranted?
-Was an official survey completed?
-Were there any official complaints submitted or was this decision based on hearsay?
-Can the data regarding the number and types of complaints received be shared without disclosing the complainants?
The completed calming project represents a significant and abrupt departure from KA. Installation of large bump outs and barriers fundamentally altered traffic flow. While intended to slow traffic, structures have instead created new, measurable safety risks. Drivers now huge center line, elevating collision risk. Now wide turns to avoid bumpouts, increasing turns into traffic. Larger vehicles struggle to navigate narrow roads, damage concrete and cross center lanes - page 1 of 4
