Description
The 3100 and 3200 block of N Narrows Dr has a problem with speeding especially going up the hill in that area. This street has bike lanes and many pedestrians along it, and speeding traffic is a serious hazard. The street is very wide in this area and this invites speeding and racing at times. Please consider speed cameras or other traffic calming options to make this bike and popular walking area safer.

Thank you for submitting this speeding concern. There has been a significant increase in requests regarding speeding, crashes, and impaired/distracted/reckless driving. The City has been working to fill the position that manages Neighborhood Programs, which includes working with community members like you on neighborhood traffic calming concerns. Due to this staff vacancy, there may be a delay in our ability to thoroughly analyze and respond to your request. In an effort to expedite review, please ensure that your request includes:
- Details of the location that are relevant to the concern, including the specific street block (ex. on Street 1 between Street 2 and 3), intersection, nearest address, and/or neighborhood characteristics that influence driving behaviors (ex. school, shopping center, cars parked on planting strip, etc.), and,
- A detailed description of the concern (speeding, fail-to-yield intersection crashes, side swipes of parked cars, avoiding signals, etc.).
The City uses specific data (traffic volumes, documented speeds, and crashes) to determine the appropriate tool and prioritize funding. Once we are able to gather and analyze the appropriate data, we will be in touch. We look forward to working with you and appreciate your patience and attention to this matter.
