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
