Chair Epstein asks about street calming techniques on 6th Avenue

And you mentioned that the crashes are mostly auto-related.

So are there street calming techniques you're using, like on the 6th Avenue corridor?

To slow that down to avoid additional fatalities on 6th Avenue.

Absolutely, and it's always a very holistic approach.

We're always looking at all the different aspects of the street and how it works and all the users.

So, you know, it's very rarely just like a...

Here's the hammer.

Here's the nail.

There's usually a bunch of different pieces.

So on 6th Ave, you know, it's things like the overall geometry, the number of travel lanes, the width of the lanes.

Is there space for curb extensions to slow turning vehicles and improve visibility?

It could be hard in daylighting.

It could be things like the traffic signal timing, like I mentioned, the bike lane.

And probably other things I'm forgetting, but it's really a soup-to-nuts approach.

It'd be great to see what those are in these top 15 intersections, what those activities are, so we are educated, so we can educate the public on what you're doing, because if I don't know what you're doing on

parts of my district or other people's districts, it's hard to know that the general public would have that information as well to say, hey, this is what's happening.

Is this improving this situation?

And if it's not, what other tools?

could be available to us all to be able to improve those concerns.

Thank you, Chair.

I'm happy to discuss that with my team.

Yeah, if you can get us in writing about what those, you know, in these five top 15 areas, in writing what you guys are actually doing, I think that would be useful for us to have.

Okay.

Thank you.
