Description
This project provides for the design and installation of traffic calming devices such as chicanes, deviators, bulbouts, medians, and speed tables to slow traffic and reduces traffic related problems in neighborhood areas. The city will use street dieting which is a traffic calming method where the level of service allows the roadway to be reduced from four lanes to two lanes with bicycles access. This is achieved by resurfacing then restriping and marking entire lengths of streets for two lanes of traffic. This project also provides additional sidewalk construction and reconstruction in response to requests from schools, neighborhood organizations, and citizens. Locations are based on their criteria, feasibility, safety, benefit, cost, and priority. Ramps to meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards are also constructed at the same time.

Notes
LOCATIONS UNDER CONSIDERATION INCLUDE: 7th Avenue from 22nd Street to 40th Street Bay to Bay Avenue from Dale Mabry Highway to Manhattan Avenue North Boulevard from Cass Street to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard Other traffic calming locations on an as needed basis. Sidewalk locations for FY10 will be reviewed in October 2009. Locations will be based on the criteria, feasibility, benefit, cost, priority, and input from the community. Contracts are prepared, bid, and awarded during the first quarter of the fiscal year.
