Apply for Neighborhood Traffic Calming by Nov 1

- Published: 23 September 2022 23 September 2022
The City of Minneapolis just launched a new city-wide application for traffic calming requests! Visit https://bit.ly/mplstrafficcalming to learn more about the the application process and send in an application for traffic calming at an intersection or on a street near you now through Nov 1!
Each year the City of Minneapolis receives 2,500+ requests for traffic calming measures - far more requests than resources. In an effort to better serve residents and more equitably evaluate requests, the City put together this new traffic calming request process. The KNA submitted comments on this process this past winter and are glad the City took this feedback into account.
Please go check it out and apply for traffic calming around Kenny or anywhere in Minneapolis at https://bit.ly/mplstrafficcalming.
