Traffic Calming for BrykerWoods (first meeting Dec. 11th)

The city of Austin has selected the BrykerWoods and Pemberton Heights neighborhoods as a Neighborhood Traffic Calming Project Area!

The goal of the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program is to enhance the quality of neighborhoods through the implementation of techniques that will reduce speeding and cut-through traffic problems on residential streets.

The first general and introductory meeting where city staff will present traffic calming techniques, project timeline, and process will be Wednesday evening 6:30pm December 11th at the Senior Activity Center on Shoal Crest (29th and Lamar.) Also at this meeting a volunteer working group of neighborhood residents will be created – this group will develop the traffic calming program with the assistance from city staff during the next several months.

A letter from the City was sent last week to every household in BrykerWoods and Pemberton Heights regarding this traffic calming initiative. Also included with the letter was a survey, asking for opinions about areas of the neighborhood experiencing traffic issues. Please bring this survey completed to the meeting Wednesday evening 6:30pm December 11th.
