Delineators, flashing signs, restriping among the many measures planned.
Antioch will spend $1.5 million on traffic calming improvements on some of its most dangerous streets while decreasing the speed on two of them.
“We’re permitted to round down to 45 and reduce that by 5 miles per hour. James Donlon is outside of that range,” she said of the main arterial road, which has been the site of many accidents in the past. Some of the proposed traffic calming measures include warning installing signs with rectangular rapid flashing beacons, vehicle speed feedback signs, advanced yield line striping to make crosswalks more visible, as well as adding buffered bicycle lanes, “tuff curbs” , narrowing lanes and restriping some roads, among others.
Estimated costs include $425,000 for Sycamore Drive, $220,000 for West 10th Street, and $765,000 for James Donlon Boulevard and $425,000 for Sycamore Drive. The improvements to Sycamore Drive, where many children live, would come first, being paid for through gas tax fund monies. Funding for the other roads will be decided in September, according to Mayor Lamar Thorpe.
