Description
I'd like to request a traffic calming feature at the intersection of Essex and Lamb. This corner has no stop sign, so drivers will frequently go around it as close to full speed as they can. The house on the corner makes it so you cannot see round the turn in either direction. There are no sidewalks on the park/school side so anyone crossing the street to the nearby school or park is in danger of getting hit by a driver that cannot see them until they're around the turn.

- Staff · September 6, 202485th percentile speeds are below the posted 25 MPH limit on Lamb Ave and Essex St. Near the school, high-visibility crosswalks and curb extensions have been installed on Brookland Park Boulevard. A speed feedback sign will also be installed on Brookland Park Boulevard, alerting drivers of their speed. No further action is planned at this time.
