- Staff · June 16, 2023• DPW field visited W Roberts St between Sledd St and Brook Rd and evaluated the existing condition (width, length, exist traffic pattern, and historical crashes). • An increase in traffic on W Roberts St is due to the new apartment developments and not because of cut-through traffic. • The Department follows Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP) guidelines for the installation of any physical traffic calming measures on City streets. • At this time, no physical traffic calming measures are planned for this section of the street since the criteria represented under the NTMP are not meet. • The Department will install 25MPH speed limit signs on W Roberts St between Sledd St and Brook Rd in each direction.
