50% approval prior to meeting, walking, investigating may be too high a threshold

No
8. Have we missed anything in the proposed objectives that you think should be added?
Safety& Resident engagement co-equal. Residents know their area much better than any engineering study could ever capture.
9. Do you have concerns about any of the proposed qualification criteria?
Yes. Insufficient weighting of resident concerns and observations. It only takes one unpredicted speed demon to kill a child.
10. Have we missed any other factors that should be included in determining eligibility for the Traffic Calming Program?
No response.
11. Do you have concerns about anything included in the proposed toolbox of devices?
Traffc circles—people don’t use them correctly. Crosswalks—way too many types. Completely confuses out of town drivers. We need actual pedestrian activated crossing lights. Everyone knows what a ref light means. Too many changes of speed limit (e.g. Washtenaw) or time of day (Huron Parkway near HHS)
12. Have we missed any devices that should be added to the toolbox for traffic calming on local streets?
Traffic lights for pedestrians. Period.
13. What questions or concerns do you have about how the Traffic Calming Program will function?
