Hillside Avenue has seen over 100 crashes along the corridor during the past three years. To improve the safety on this critical corridor and near Moylan Elementary and McDonough Middle Schools, the Safe Streets team has been looking to introduce a traffic calming pilot project to Hillside Avenue.
Traffic calming treatments vary, from reduced lane widths to street reconfiguration with alternating parking, crosswalk striping, mini islands, new signage, bumpouts, school zone markings, one-way standardization, and more. Please see find sample locations and treatment types at: Hillside Concepts - SWBTR Presentation(PDF, 2MB)
Updated concepts are here at: Hillside Ave Concepts - 0424(PDF, 4MB)
