1 City of Ithaca - Request for Traffic Calming Investigation If you would like to have the City Engineering Department consider your request for traffic calming, you will need to fill out the following sections and send the completed form to the City of Ithaca Engineering Department (attn: City Transportation Engineer) at 108 E Green Street, Ithaca, NY What is traffic calming? Traffic calming measures are intended to make streets safer and more attractive for people to walk, bike and drive by reducing the negative impacts of motor vehicles such as excessive speeds and/or volumes of traffic. Traffic calming measures may consist of educational, enforcement and engineering efforts. Some examples of traffic calming measures are: driver speed feedback signs, targeted police enforcement, pavement markings, signs, speed humps, chicanes and diverters. What is the Selection Process? Received requests will be prioritized based on factors related to traffic speeds, volumes and other considerations, such as proximity to schools. The Engineering Office will work with relevant City entities to determine what types of traffic calming measures may be appropriate. Final approval will be granted by the Board of Public Works (BPW).
