2022 Traffic Safety Summary Report
Information / Background:
The Engineering Department received 176 traffic safety requests in 2022. Requests are received by phone,
mail, email and through the City’s website. 179 requests were reviewed and completed in 2022, an increase
of 14 requests from 2021; this includes 51 requests received before 2022. Each request may require data
collection and analysis by the Traffic Safety Coordinator prior to review by the Traffic Safety Committee.
Requests are assigned to one of five categories; Traffic Calming, Parking and Signage, Intersection Control,
Pedestrian Safety or Other (see Figure 1).
Figure 1. Traffic Safety Requests Reviewed in 2022
After requests are reviewed by the Committee, they are categorized as A (recommended action), B
(recommended denial/no change) or C (recommend further study) items in traffic safety reports. Many
requests are handled solely by the Traffic Safety Coordinator; these are generally requests for increased
police enforcement or for matters governed by existing City policies (crosswalks, signage, traffic signals,
etc.). These are categorized as D items. Table 1 shows the full breakdown of requests reviewed in 2022.
