CALMING DEVICES:

Construct chokers at elementary school crosswalks, which make shorter pedestrians more visible and reduce the crossing distance from 50 feet to 34 feet.

Where feasible, streets will be striped with an 11-foot center turn lane, two 10 1/2-foot through lanes and two 9-foot parking lanes. This will draw traffic flow to the center of the street.
