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.
