The City of Carlsbad is seeking community feedback on options to reduce speeding on Tamarack Avenue, between Skyline Road and Adams Street.
The city is inviting the community to attend a public meeting to discuss options that reduce speeding and meet the needs and priorities of people of all ages and abilities who live, walk, bike or drive in the area.
Wednesday, Oct. 12
6 – 7:30 p.m.
Valley Middle School
Gymnasium
Short term solutions
This meeting will focus on solutions that can be implemented quickly, although all ideas are welcome. The city has a longer term project to redesign Tamarack between El Camino Real and I-5. That will take several years, which is why the city is focusing on the short-term measures now.
Short of redesigning the street, some common ways to reduce speeds on streets like Tamarack are:
Installing speed cushions (similar to those on Hillside Drive by Kelly Elementary)
Raised crosswalks
Increasing how far curbs extend into the street to shorten the crossing distance at intersections
The city’s traffic experts will go over the pros and cons of different options at the meeting and gather feedback. If you can’t make the meeting, please sign up for our email list and we will send you a recording and a link to share feedback online.
