The City of Austin Transportation is launching a new traffic calming program in January!  This is a great opportunity to request speed mitigation devices for some of the residential streets within our boundaries that have speeding and safety problems.  Applications for speed mitigation will be accepted only from applicants who live on the street for which they are requesting mitigation.  Please refer to the City's email announcement and link below for more information.

Also, please note that the City has updated their website so you might have to check back if you find a broken link.

Dear Neighborhood Group,  

The City of Austin is moving forward with its new traffic calming program, Local Area Traffic Management (LATM).  We would like to thank all those who reviewed and commented on the LATM guidelines and procedures.  Your comments and input were very helpful to us.

The new guidelines will go into effect in January 2012.  Applications for speed mitigation will be accepted starting at 8:00 AM on January 18^th.  No applications will be accepted before that date.     

You can view the guidelines and download a speed mitigation application packet at http://www.austintexas.gov/content/neighborhood-traffic-calming
