City Announces New Neighborhood Traffic Calming Process
Saturday, September 17, 2022 at 2:21PM
Now available: A new way to request traffic calming and the new Neighborhood Traffic Calming process.
The City has a new process for considering community requests for neighborhood traffic calming. Our goal is to maintain a fair, transparent, and equitable process.
In the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Report September 2022 you will find:
- Details about the new process
- An application form
- An updated toolbox
- Information about how we rank the applications, and
- A timeline for the annual process
Anyone can apply for neighborhood traffic calming, including residents, property owners, business owners, and neighborhood or business organizations. To have a traffic calming request considered for installation in 2023, you need to submit an application by November 1, 2022. There are two ways to submit an application:
- Fill out the online traffic calming application.
- Fill out and print the Traffic Calming Application, and send it by email or US Mail.
You can call 311 if you need any help filling out the application or email traffic.calming@minneapolismn.gov with any questions.
Note that we anticipate many more requests than the City will be able to fund in 2023, but this process will help us fairly and effectively use the funding we do have available to make streets safer. We plan to continue the process each year so we can address more and more requests over time.
Additional information is available on the City's traffic calming webpage.
