A speed mitigation meeting was held with the city of Austin’s ATD (Austin Transportation Department) on Sunday 9/24/2017 at 4:30pm at the Balcones Country Club. Atendees spanned the Mountain, Balcones Village/Spicewood, the Enclave, and perhaps Spicewood Estates.  Approximately 75 people attended.

See the two files attached for the presentation from ATD and the presentation from me representing the multi-neighborhood survey and requests.

The short summary of the meeting is:

From ATD:

PROPOSED SPEED MITIGATION

• Cedar Crest:  Four locations of Speed cushions
• Clearock:  Two locations of Speed Cushions
• Spicewood Parkway:  Possibility of flat top cushion installation

Messages from neighborhood to ATD:
– ATD is only listening to a small fraction of the impacted residents
– 95% of the neighborhood does not like the Spicewood Parkway Speed Bumps
– Request: remove those rubber speed bumps
– Request: do not install any more rubber speed bumps
– Engage the full neighborhood; change your policy

There are a several follow-ups under consideration and a few of us are going to meet Thursday to discuss next steps.
