The Critical Traffic Control Area program was created in June 2024 for neighbors to petition the City for a review of a traffic issue or related safety concern in their neighborhood. To begin a review, residents must identify the concern and submit a petition of five different households or business owners who live or work near the concern (within one city block). The neighbors then submit a completed Critical Traffic Control Program Complaint Form to the City Engineer’s Office.

Once a form has been submitted, the City reviews the complaint and, if warranted, collects traffic data and other information on the corridor. The Program Committee then meets to determine if the area should be designated as a critical traffic safety area and if so, what measures should be taken to improve traffic safety. The committee will then review the implemented measures every two weeks and may decide to make those measures permanent.
