Short term solutions

This meeting will focus on solutions that can be implemented quickly, although we welcome all ideas. The city has a longer term project to redesign Tamarack between El Camino Real and I-5. That will take several years, which is why we are focusing on the short-term measures now.

Short of redesigning the street, some common ways to reduce speeds on streets like Tamarack are:

• Installing speed cushions (you can see examples on Hillside Drive by Kelly Elementary)
• Raised crosswalks
• Increasing how far curbs extend into the street to shorten the crossing distance at intersections

The city’s traffic experts will go over the pros and cons of different options at the meeting and get your feedback.  If you can’t make the meeting, please sign up for our email list and we will send you a recording and a link to share feedback online.

We are committed to working with the community to identify options that reduce speeding and meet the needs and priorities of people of all ages and abilities who live, walk, bike or drive in the area.
