Gore Boulevard Traffic Signal Improvements
Ten of eleven signals along Gore Boulevard have been converted, and a $494,000 LMPO grant can now fund full traffic activation (Phase 3), which studies show could cut travel times by about 40 percent. Council members relayed constituent frustration with flashing yellow arrows and desynchronized lights.
Rogers Lane lighting improvements
TLS Group won the $1.49 million contract to install lighting along Rogers Lane — a street safety improvement for drivers and nearby residents.
Traffic calming on NW Oak and NW 35th
Speed cushions are coming to NW Pershing Drive after a neighbor documented speeding, killed waterfowl, and pedestrian risk near the park and fishing area.
Neighborhood Traffic Control Measures
Stop signs near the Chick-fil-A access road and Stone Ridge Apartments, plus radar speed signs on NW Ozmun and SE Aberdeen Avenue, were on the consent agenda after committee recommendation.
