- no impact on traffic flow
This is the first foray of the city into the arena of traffic-calming
measures. With the choice of Marquez, experience can be gained on
technical subjects, without getting tangled up in traffic flow
redistribution efforts, which is a whole separate can of worms. In
this sense, this pilot project is somewhat cosmetic, but we think it is
still worthwhile to get concrete examples of traffic-calming measures
on the ground.
- cost is of no concern
At least for now, the design team can draw whatever we like, and cost
issues will be dealt with later.
- need to show local support
To prevent (political) surprises later on, we need to show that we have
substantial neightborhood support for whatever we propose.
- proposal will be sheparded past all committees,
boards etc..
Cyrus Samii of the city planning division will guide the
project.
