April 4th Presentation

Purpose of the Meeting

• Discussing identified issues along the corridor
• Presenting Traffic Calming Quick-Build plan addressing needs
• Projects in the Area
• Community Input on Designs

What is Traffic Calming?

• Reduce average motorist speed
• Improve conditions for non-motorist
• Reducing collision frequency and severity

What is a Quick Build?

• Low-Cost -> High Impact
• Quick Installation
• Includes pavement markings, pavement paint, flex posts, signage changes, etc.

What are the identified issues?

Crashes:

• 2019 to 2021= 32 crashes
• A high number of rear-end and sideswipes in the same direction
• The majority of crashes occur during the day

Pedestrian Facilities:

• Lack of crosswalks
• No Buffer

Roadway Geometry:

• Unmarked Parking Lane
• Wide Travel Lanes
• Motorist traveling at high speeds
• Passing when there is only one lane in each direction.

Existing Conditions

Proposed Improvements

Option 1:

• Create a buffer along EB Moravia Road
• Install pavement marking and flex post to identify the parking lane
• Reduce the travel lane width

Option 2:

• Create a buffer along EB Moravia Road
• Install a bike lane along WB Moravia Road with a buffer
• Reduce the travel lane width
• Remove on-street parking

Looking Forward

Moravia Rd at Walther Ave:

• Resurfacing
• Safety Improvements
• Signal upgrades
• Bumpout Curbs

Moravia Rd at Belair Rd:
