o Implement a process for Neighborhood Traffic Calming Plan development that assures the maximum acceptance by those most directly affected by the Plan. Use a petition process for plan development and a separate petition process for the installation of traffic calming devices. ° Provide a process that includes a clear opportunity for residents of the affected community to accept the plan and a heating process to adopt the plan. Significant revisions to the Plan would require a similar process. ° Establish a priority system to address the worst problems first. ° Address spot problems quickly. ° Effectively balance the public safety interests of traffic mitigation and emergency response. Any Neighborhood Traffic Calming Plan must clearly address provisions for emergency response. ° Give precedence to neighborhood livability over marginal motor vehicle efficiencies. ° Continually evaluate the public acceptance of the program ° Integrate education, engineering, enforcement and enhancement.
