Description
Would like to request a speed hump placed on Maple Ave near Kensington Ave. With the new light on Libbie - traffic has increased and people speed down Maple to get to Patterson. There are children walking to St. Christopher's and St. Catherine's - and would suggest speed humps to help slow down traffic. There was a recent speed hump placed near Cary on Maple and would like to request an additional one near Patterson.

- Staff · October 9, 2024More traffic calming on Maple between Grove and Patterson is not planned at this time based on the following: - Stopped conditions at o Grove o York o Fergusson o Patterson - Traffic circles at o Guthrie o Christopher - Splitter islands – four islands - 85th percentile speeds o The 85th percentile speed, the speed that 85 percent of drivers travel at or below, is one of the best indicators of a reasonable and safe speed. ? Between Grove and Guthrie = 22mph ? Between Guthrie and Patterson = 24mph The speed sample is in general compliance with the 25-mph speed for residential streets and speed tables are not planned.
