Chair, Jay Gudeman opened the meeting. Raleigh Police Department Crime Report Captain Carrigan was unable to provide the crime report for the Northwest area because the city is currently upgrading their reporting system. He explained the difference between how the old system works versus the new system. With the new system in place, it will allow for a higher level of accuracy in report future crime reports. A passionate group of residents from the Laurel Hills area have concerns regarding traffic calming in their neighborhood.

Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources No report-the New Leisure Ledger is now available. Traffic Calming presentation “From Petition to Implementation”
Tom Fiorello from Raleigh’s Public Works Department spoke on the process of traffic calming in city neighborhoods and how it’s implemented. First, the residents that live on the affected street can make a request to the city to have an evaluation conducted to determine how a particular street scores on the following 5 criteria:
At what speed is the majority of the traffic traveling (most important)
Volume of traffic that travels on the street daily
Pedestrian activity
How many speed-related accidents have occurred along the street
Roadway geometry/other road conditions
If a street reaches a score of at least 30% (out of 100%), the street will be included in the city’s project list.
