[Fwd: An entertaining and creative look at traffic calming]   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #11 of 170 |
This guy is the most amazing safe street advocate I know.  If anyone plans to be in Seattle Sunday/Monday, or CAN plan to be in Seattle Sunday or Monday, he's definitely worth seeing.

David has some mind expanding approaches to traffic calming.  Some of these are non structural approaches such as the "pace car" approach (folks from different neighborhoods agree to drive the speed limit in their own and each others neighborhoods).  He has expanded this to a school program where kids enlist their parents to sign a contract to do the same. 
 
Sorry about the late notice - just got this.  If you are interested but can't attend any of these - google his name on the web - lots of info. there. 
 
The Street Standard Review Committee agreed to discuss traffic calming (among other topics) at their next meeting on November 10th (meeting is at the Eastside Fire Station from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.)
