STUDY ITEM

9(a) Neighborhood Traffic Safety Program (NTSP) Discussion

In 2019, Traffic Services staff initiated a reevaluation of the program and Monday it will be discussing three options for program administration moving forward for Council to consider:

1) Existing - keep the same

2) Alternative 1 – modify NTSP program to create entry criteria and prioritize projects based on data

3) Alternative 2 – use collision and other traffic data to inform traffic safety improvements through the Annual Traffic Report process, eliminating a program exclusively for local streets. Based on the benefits and tradeoffs associated with each alternative, staff recommends the Traffic Safety Improvements program be restructured as described in Alternative 2,
