Birchcliff Parkway Traffic Calming

The Department of Public Works and consulting engineers from VHB have drafted concept plans that address the Birchcliff Parkway neighborhood's request for traffic calming. A neighorhood meeting was hosted virtually on September 15, 2020. Based on the neighborhood's input, a plan has been developed that will install traffic calming at regular intervals along Birchcliff Parkway.

Status Updates:

Based on neighborhood input, the optional gateway treatment at Birchcliff Pkwy / Shelburne Street will not be constructed.
Stormwater analysis was conducted to determine if the bumpouts at Alder Lane and Linden Terrace could become raingardens. That analysis determined the bumpouts are not ideal locations for stormwater treatment.
Preliminary design of the raised crosswalks and bumpouts is underway. DPW anticipates that final plans will be complete and advertised for construction in June 2021.
