As part of a follow-up to the most recent neighborhood traffic calming workshops, Council and the Office of Neighborhood Services is inviting community members to participate in a ThoughtExchange survey to select traffic calming projects that will help shape the future of neighborhood traffic safety.  Each district will participate in a survey with questions about projects in their respective neighborhoods. 

"It was so incredible to see people show up at the last set of meetings to weigh in on their traffic priorities,” said Director of the Office of Neighborhood Services Patrick Striker. “These are your neighborhoods and your streets, and I think hearing from more people will help us to set up traffic calming solutions over the next four years."

ThoughtExchange is an online tool where an open-ended question on any subject is an “exchange.”  Participants confidentially share their answers and objectively rate each other’s responses and ideas. City Council has used ThoughtExchange throughout several other public engagement events to survey and collect feedback, anticipating receiving diverse responses and broad perspectives that can help inform their decision-making.

To participate in an exchange, please select from the following Districts:

The ThoughtExchange survey will close on Friday, June 23, and results will be posted on the Traffic Calming website.
