Traffic Calming: Reduce the actual speed of the traffic on Third and Fourth Streets to 25 mph
Mobility: Achieve a segment Level of Service (LOS) on Third and Fourth Streets of “C” during non-peak periods and “D” during the peak traffic hour while not increasing the volume of traffic or further delaying the traffic diverted onto adjacent streets during the AM and PM peak rush hours
Resident Concerns: Respond to the additional concerns with the traffic on Third and Fourth Streets and the concerns raised regarding specific measures
