The program will award approximately $300,000 for traffic calming projects this year
VANCOUVER — Community members are invited to submit traffic concerns and champion project locations for possible selection through the 2025 Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program to help slow traffic and increase street safety in local neighborhoods. The program will award approximately $300,000 for traffic calming projects this year.
Community members interested in pursuing a traffic calming project for their neighborhood street must apply online by Friday, Feb. 28.
After the open application period, the program team will work through the program’s competitive evaluation process and notify project proponents of the final project selection in early Fall. Project locations are evaluated and ranked based on speed, volume, sidewalks, bike/mobility lanes and collision history.
This program supports the City’s Strategic Plan and core values for livability, community relationships, distinct neighborhoods and transportation/mobility. Past projects have included signing and surface striping, speed cushions/tables, radar feedback signs and street trees. Learn about past projects on the City’s Traffic Calming StoryMap.
