Description
Kensington has a very wide ROW and ends in a stub at Stafford, however despite this stub, the ROW width encourages excessive speeding in a neighborhood with a high amount of foot traffic by children and other folks utilizing Scuffletown park. I encourage the installation of speed bumps, intersection islands, an intersection mural, or bump outs to calm this stretch.

- Staff · September 12, 2024Kensington Ave between Robinson St and Stafford St is approximately 750’ with stops at both Robinson St and Stafford St. The 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. Therefore, traffic calming measures such as speed tables, intersection islands or bump outs are not planned. Safe crossings for children coming from Kensington Ave to the alley to Scuffletown Park can be made at the crosswalk on Stafford Ave at Stuart Ave. Street murals must go through the established Public Art Commission process.
