Presentation on Traffic Calming by Melissa DeZayas, Assistant Public Works Director for Transportation
The City of Coral Gables is reviewing traffic calming measures, a process that involves resident feedback and a point system to rate locations based on traffic volume, speed, sidewalks, pedestrian generators, driveway density, and accident history. Approved measures can include speed tables, speed cushions, raised intersections, and roundabouts. This review is currently pending before the Sustainability Advisory Board. The process includes receiving requests, design, and construction of traffic calming installations. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in site preparation, grading, concrete, paving, and landscaping could find opportunities as these projects move forward. Engaging early, before final plans and permits are set, offers the best chance to compete for this work.
