- Agenda Item 16E
Request of Councilmember Zwick, Councilmember Torosis, and Councilmember Davis that the City Council direct the City Manager to prioritize measures to reduce vehicle speeding and mitigate crashes on Neilson Way in order to enhance safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers on the corridor; specifically, the City Manager is directed to prepare cost estimates and identify potential funding sources and tradeoffs for adding the installation of speed cushions along Neilson Way as a project for consideration as part of the upcoming biennial Capital Improvement Program budget process. This would result in Neilson Way being prioritized as the next phase of the ongoing partnership among the Department of Transportation, Santa Monica Fire Department, and Public Works Department to re-initiate deployment of speed humps/bumps and other speed calming measures that do not impact emergency response times, as resources and staff capacity allow.
