Petition for Speed Bumps on Woodland Park Ave North

Jessica L

The well-intentioned changes to Woodland Park Ave have unfortunately not worked to make the road safer. Cars speed up to try to make it through the narrow part of the road, treating the recently narrowed 2-way street like an extra wide 1-way with obstacles (oncoming traffic). Speed bumps would definitely help, but considering additional safety measures long-term is necessary.

I live in Fremont and primarily bike to get around the neighborhood, and use Woodland Park Ave when I don’t want to ride on Stone Way since it has more cars. I support any effort to reduce car speeds and improve crossings on Woodland Park Avenue, including speed bumps and other traffic calming measures.

Chris Humphreys

I'm signing because I have friends with kids who live on this stretch of residential road, and don't want them to live on an accidental highway.

Paul Schwenk

Good to help.

Bruno Riegl

Speeding cars there have sometimes been dangerous when we visited

This is a request from neighbors who live along or near the street. Their needs should take priority over the convenience of pass through drivers. We need safer streets. Please respond to their concerns and suggested improvements.

Harold Johanson

As noted by many, too many cars speed down Woodland Park Avenue North too fast and it is not safe and should be dealt with.

Elizabeth O'Mera

I agree that Woodland Park needs additional speed bumps leading to the narrowed lanes.

Speed bumps are great at making streets safer.

The road narrowing effort looks horrible and significantly reduced visibility. I feel more unsafe as a driver and as a pedestrian because we can't see around the beams and parked cars. The road narrowing was a fail as it caused significant damage to so many vehicles in just 4 months. Remove the road narrowing and put in speed bumps and stop signs. The roundabouts have also become dangerous to pedestrians and cars and drivers barrel around them.

Because it was a gross error to spend all that money and not do the one thing that could’ve slowed down traffic properly without taking out all of the parking and making the neighborhood look ugly. Don’t stop at putting in speed bumps. Take out all those curbs and all that loading zone garbage while you’re at it. Don’t fall into the sunken cost fallacy. You screwed up royally, it’s not too late to make it right.

Christopher Juneau

We need further improvements to Woodland Park Ave to make sure it's safe for local pedestrians and residents like myself. Cars are still going way too fast, speeding to get ahead of pedestrians and then slamming on their breaks right before the speed bumps. Drivers also now treat the road like a one-way/one-lane road in their direction of travel.

Kerstin Gleim

As a senior and an always pedestrian (I don't drive anymore), I feel safer crossing Woodland Park Ave N when it is not being used as an "arterial", with faster cars. Speed bumps slow traffic down such that they are able to see pedestrians, and slow down for them.

I live at 43rd and Woodland Pk Ave Some cars are still whizzing past

Skylar Thompson

The improvements on Woodland Park have been very useful, but not sufficient to make the street truly safe. Ideally we would have traffic calming all the way from Bridge to 50th, with stop signs at the major arterials (Bridge, 40th, 45th, 46th, 50th). There also needs to be a stop sign at 43rd so that the Greenway on 43rd can be extended to Woodland Park, and then to the 41st pedestrian overpass at Aurora.

Kimberley McGill

Speeds leading into the narrow area still high and at times it feels like a game of chicken going through the narrow area. Slowing down into the narrow earlier should help.

Shannan Harris

Drivers continue to drive dangerously on woodland park ave

Charles Reidy

The street is becoming a race track for fast cars that were never meant for city streets.

Joseph Chehock

Drivers still reach high speeds along this street and the existing traffic calming does little to slow them down. We also need crosswalks at the T intersections to make this street safer.

Um, yes? What the city did with woodland park Ave is crazy. I’ve heard that neighbors cars have been “totaled” as a result of the change in the road. Speeds haven’t slowed at all. Ok, maybe speed-bumps… My thought to address the situation initially. People still use Allen as a cut through to get up to Aurora. However, the parking spaces loss needs to be addressed. Shame the city spent so much for an unsound solution.
