CITY OF PLANO NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

A booming economy, rapid urban growth, and the resulting heavy traffic in Plano, Texas, have spilled over into the surrounding neighborhoods; but interested city staff and homeowners are determined to see the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program help homeowners take back their neighborhoods. After meeting with the residents in an affected neighborhood, city staff collect speed and volume data. If a problem is identified, city staff present appropriate solutions to residents at a second meeting. If the solution involves traffic calming measures, staff place the item on the agenda for the Transportation Advisory Committee's consideration. All traffic calming device installations require a successful petition from the affected residents for implementation.
