Description
Hello, We live on a street that is just off two main road locations (Brookland Park Boulevard and North Avenue), and we regularly have issues with cars turning onto our block and speeding up to 25-35 miles per hour very quickly. We just had a child, and I know one other family just had one as well. So, we are concerned that there could be danger to our children when they start walking. Thank you very much.

- Staff · September 9, 2024The focused approach on speed management in the City’s Neighborhood Traffic Management Program first considers the distance of a free flow street of at least 1200’ in length in a tangent section without traffic signals, existing traffic calming measures or stopped conditions on the major street. Garland Ave between Brookland Park Blvd and Ladies Mile Rd stops at Crawford (about 500‘), Gladstone (about 500‘), Meredith (about 625‘) and at Ladies Mile (about 500‘). Given these measurements speed tables are not planned on Garland Ave.
