streets, the developer will be required to participate in the cost of mitigating the impac, t on adjacent neighborhood(s). 6.2 Existing neighborhoods Existing neighborhoods may be required to pay a percentage of the cost of traffic calming improvements on their streets. Because the planning process is neighborhood based, the plan should reflect the neighborhood's priorities for traffic calming and benefit the whole. Some streets may experience more benefits than others from the neighborhood as a traffic calming improvements and it may be more appropriate to distribute the costs on a block-by-block basis. The costs to be carried by the residents may include only the maintenance costs of landscaping, the total cost of maintenance and construction, or some option in between. The neighborhood residents working on the traffic calming plan will help determine how the neighborhood participation will be allocated. 6.3 Landscaping It is the City's policy that, to the extent practical, NTCD will be landscaped. Landscaping improvements associated with traffic calming require ongoing maintenance and irrigation costs. Agreements can be made with residents and homeowner associations to maintain the landscaping and pay for water taps where necessary in the improvements. Program Approach The intent of the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program is to provide a clear structure for addressing traffic concerns in the neighborhoods. Traffic issues may be related to the larger neighborhood or may be very location specific. More localized, or spot problems include vegetation obstructing drivers vie and additions to existing signs or markings. More complex, neighborhood-wide problems are speeding or cut-through traffic on a long stretch of street or multiple streets. To address the range of concerns most effectively, without requiting that site specific problems with fairly routine solutions go through the same process as more complex neighborhood problems, there are two levels of review and response provided and different steps associated with each. The following section defines the process that will be used to determine whether a location qualifies for the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program and whether devices will be installed. Level 1: Quick Response Level 1 response applies to more site specific concerns that can be addressed through existing routine traffic control measures.
