Description

There is a lot of car traffic on southbound Market Street that turns left onto eastbound Arlington as a cut through to MLK Jr Way. This creates safety issues for neighbors on Arlington as the street isn’t designed to handle this type of traffic and has no traffic calming to discourage speeding drivers, and also backs up traffic on Market Street as there is no left turn lane or traffic control at Market/Arlington.

As such I would like to request that the median crossing of Market at Arlington be blocked with flex posts, and with turn restrictions posted, so that it is no longer used as a cut through but emergency vehicles can still access the turn.

Speed humps along Arlington between Market and MLK should also be added to discourage cut through traffic westbound as well.

Q. Which calming/safety device are you requesting?
