If we're going to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on this problem, it seems like a direct low tech approach would be best. Fund a full time police officer for a year to give tickets as necessary along the area. Then put in a few speed bumps. It is possible to have speed bumps with a contour that does not impede traffic at the maximum speed or cause much noise. For example, on Zickert NW in front of Duranes Elementary school there are speed bumps that allow you drive at 25 mph just fine; but anything over that is quite disturbing to the driving. The ones along side Monte Vista school don't seem designed as well.

Good morning, Antoinette and Gail.

 

Nob Hill and surrounding neighborhoods need your support for the Lead & Coal Safety Upgrades Capital Outlay Request, LCS Project ID 1275.

 

Capital Outlay Request Amount: $250k

Total Project Cost: $350k

Funding Secured: $100k

State ICIP Project ID: 30957

LCS Project ID: 1275

 

Along with our sister associations, University Heights and Southeast Heights, Nob Hill Neighborhood Association has long sought an answer to the speeding, reckless driving, and high speed accidents on Lead & Coal Aves. We’ve tried virtually everything but the situation is still horrible.

City Councilor Pat Davis has come up with an innovative idea to install speed sensitive traffic signals known as rest in red signals that only turn green when the approaching vehicle is traveling at or below the speed limit. The project is in the study and design phase.

The capital outlay request of $250,000 would be combined with City funds of $100,000 to implement this project, save lives, and enhance quality of life for hundreds of families on the corridor. 

 

We urge your support and we urge any neighbor who feels the same to reach out as well.

 

Kind regards,

 

Gary Eyster

President, Nob Hill Neighborhood Association
