Your Street, Your Input: Clarendon Crescent
Welcome! A traffic-calming project is coming to Clarendon Crescent to help improve safety for everyone driving, walking, and biking in your neighborhood. Our goal is safer streets for all!
Clarendon Crescent ranks within the top 20 streets in the city with documented speed and/or crash concerns. Specifically:
- Typical driving speeds are 32 MPH (Current speed limit is 25 MPH).
We are excited to hear your feedback on the design so we can make these improvements. It is important that we hear from you and your neighbors by 5 PM on October 9.
Proposed Design
City staff are recommending the addition of a multi-use path where the sidewalk concludes and one of two options to slow speeding on Clarendon Crescent:
- Speed Humps, or;
- Speed Cushions
More information on the difference between these two options is on the next page. We propose installing speed humps or cushions every 500 feet. You may see markings that look like this along your street, which indicate the proposed locations.
Design Map
This map shows the proposed locations of the speed humps or cushion. You can also view a larger PDF of this map.
Safe Routes to School Program
In addition to the proposed traffic calming project, a Multiuse Path (MUP) is being offered .
The Vision Zero Team, on behalf of the Safe Routes to School program, is offering this MUP opportunity in combination with the NTMP traffic calming project. The proposed MUP would provide a dedicated space for people walking and bicycling, helping improve connections to nearby schools and neighborhood destinations. This is critical in areas where full sidewalks and ADA crossing is lacking and no infrastructure existing to increase safety for our most vulnerably users.
The MUP and traffic calming improvements are being considered together to support a safer, more comfortable, and more connected roadway for all users.
This is a view of the same final design from a different view for the section north from the first school entrance.
