I saw that the garage on central got approved and it mentioned that the entrance and exit will be on Cambridge
A prek-8 school is on the next block (Cambridge and bowers) and I'm concerned about how this will increase traffic next to a school that almost everyone walks to in the neighborhood including our youngest residents and kids who walk on their own to school
I am requesting how to make bowers and Cambridge safe for pedestrians but also a holistic understanding of how that whole area will be impacted by the increased traffic on Cambridge (including additional crossing guards),

Back on 8/31/2021, an employee posted an update, but accidentally posted it as an internal comment instead of a public comment. Here is what she said:
"I have done a work order for four pedx crossing signs. I hope these sign will help the situation with the kids crossing"
Were these signs put in?

Is the pedestrian flow to and from the schools being included in the traffic study with the new garage

Great! I am lad to know the signs were installed.
When new buildings are created, like this garage (already built?), Planning usually requires a traffic study if they believe there will be an impact on the current traffic pattern. They don't always reach out to Traffic Engineering on these projects.
Either way, the traffic engineers look at everything as they exist now, including transportation (buses, school buses, Via cars, etc.)

To clarify - I was NOT confirming the signs were installed. I’m not sure.
The garage is also not yet built and is in planning stages. If this department is not the correct department to ask about that - can you tell me what is?

OH! Ok, I will make sure the signs were installed and if not, that they get installed.
For the garage, you would need to contact City Planning and ask if a traffic study was required with the plan approval. The phone number is 201-547-5010.

Our inspector, Billy just checked out the site and found that the signs had been installed. This is great. Just one step of many, but this is good.
I will continue to work on the rest.

I am pulling these two requests together because they are related for making the area safer.
Please continue to comment as we are at the point where we are going to start tackling these issues throughout the Heights.

I completely get it. SCF is a great tool, if there is someone actively working with it. Our engineers are doing their very best and have no time to figure out the 808 remaining requests. It's chaos! And it must stop. So i am working very hard to pull everything together; figure out what has been finished or not and if it was finished, did it resolve the issue; and put reports together for every request that includes observations, suggestions, and requests so everyone is heard.
It sucks that it took this long and I am sorry about that, but now we have a new director and the engineers will have the tools to be able to tackle the issues in a clear, systematic, and educated way.
