Madisonville traffic calming request for 2025
-For the next fiscal year, the city's Department of Transportation and Engineering (DOTE) will use the Pedestrian Safety budget to install speed humps, speed cushions, raised crosswalks, and bump-outs, where appropriate, throughout the city's neighborhoods.

-They have found in the past that these physical changes are the most effective way at encouraging motorists to drive an appropriate speed, increasing safety for people both in and outside of cars.

-The list of streets that will be considered for this program will be made up of submissions from community councils. City staff will only accept 1 request from each community council, which is due Friday, May 31st.

-Each segment submitted must not exceed a 1/4 mile in length and the segment can be submitted by either defining endpoints or by using a single location to center the improvements on.

-Before submitting their recommendation, the Madisonville Community Council is requesting feedback from residents, workers, business owners and visitors of the neighborhood.

What determines which street gets improvements?
Funding is scarce making this a competitive program. A scoring metric will be used to evaluate each proposed segment. The city will then rank all of the segments, and work their way through the list until funds are depleted.

Scoring includes:
  • # of pedestrian crashes within ¼ mile between 2021 and 2023
  • # of cars speeding in a 48-hour period
  • Proximity to a neighborhood business district, park, recreation area, health center, school, library
  • Equity data (% of residents without access to a vehicle, % of households with income 125% or less than poverty level, etc)
What are some street segments that would likely score well?
What are some street segments that would likely score well?
  1. Madison Road from Stewart to Whetsel
  2. Whetsel Avenue from Madison to Chandler
  3. Madison Road from Whetsel to Glenshade
  4. Whetsel Avenue from Madison Road to Erie

All four of these segments are located within the neighborhood business district, feature large volumes of speeding cars, have multiple nearby pedestrian related crashes, and are located near Madisonville’s more at-risk populations.
