1. What is your past involvement with the Traffic Calming Program? (check all that apply)
Other - Bluett plan is highly flawed: it jumps right to obstacles instead of first using GOOD signs and police Enf. In any Ohio city V. GOOD signs, also saying 20 mph, keep schoolkids safe. Ohio does not torture drivers with street obstacles. Follow Ohio!!!!
2. Which of the following do you view as benefits of the Traffic Calming Program? (check all that apply)
Other - Not Incr. safety because injuries rare during 55 years, especially when there were 3X as many kids. Less cut-throughers no benefit because they'd spend more time driving.
3. Please check any concerns that you have about the Traffic Calming Program
Solutions driven by community preference rather than data or engineering expertise
Traffic diverted to neighboring streets
Slowed emergency response
Other - UNC study shows home resale value is lowered by $5000/bump. UNC: Wastes gas and raises pollution.
4. Do the proposed thresholds for community participation and support seem reasonable?
No
5. Does the community engagement format and strategy seem effective?
No
6. Do you have additional comments or questions related to the proposed engagement process?
1. A few activists can impose calming torture on other residents forever because obstacles never removed.
2. 100's of families (>100 ft. from Bluett) have no vote, even though they all use Bluett.
3. Follow the U.S. Senate: 60% must approve because such a serious change.
7. Do the proposed program objectives capture what you think is important?
No
8. Have we missed anything in the proposed objectives that you think should be added?
Use Ohio-like signs for 2 years before even thinking about installing obstacles!
9. Do you have concerns about any of the proposed qualification criteria?
The 85% speed lines should be 5 mph higher
The threshhold for traffic calming eligibility should be at least 25 points
10. Have we missed any other factors that should be included in determining eligibility for the Traffic Calming Program?
A safety expert should testify that strong, effective school and other signs have been in place for at least two years before the traffic calming request is received.
11. Do you have concerns about anything included in the proposed toolbox of devices?
They are an unnecessary nuisance, bother, and irritation to drivers for 168 hours per week, even though schoolkids come and go <10 hours per week (0 hours per week during summer and other school vacations and days off)
12. Have we missed any devices that should be added to the toolbox for traffic calming on local streets?
No response.
13. What questions or concerns do you have about how the Traffic Calming Program will function?
The 100's of residents not living on (or within 100 feet of) the calming street have no voice in the matter. Democracy???
Activists manipulate big government to victimize the majority of innocent drivers.
