Rosedale Traffic Calming

About the Survey

The Rosedale Traffic Calming Working Group has a second draft for proposed traffic calming in Rosedale and would to like get the opinions of Rosedale residents. The survey (link below) is the second informal online survey. The results are not binding, but will guide the Working Group toward formulating a plan that is acceptable to a substantial majority of Rosedale residents.

This informal survey will be accessible to Rosedale residents and property owners from
Friday, February 27, 2009 through Friday, March 6, 2009.

After we feel we have an acceptable plan, we will have an open house to show Rosedalians the “final” plan and answer questions. Subsequently, there will be a formal paper ballot which will be an up or down vote for the entire plan. These ballots will be mailed to all Rosedale residents and property owners.

Survey Instructions

It is very important that Rosedale survey-takers are as informed as possible regarding traffic data for Rosedale and the tools the City of Austin provides to help mitigate the effects of traffic in our neighborhood. This traffic calming project is a one-time opportunity for Rosedale. If we do not take advantage of this opportunity now, we will step to the “back of the line” as the City of Austin moves on to other neighborhoods. If you do not feel relatively knowledgeable about the Rosedale Traffic Calming Project 2008-9, please go to the Rosedale Traffic page and read about it.
