*City announces open call for Neighborhood Traffic Calming projects*

The City of Lawrence is excited to announce an open call for projects 
under our Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP). This 
initiative invites residents and neighborhood associations to submit 
proposals that aim to enhance traffic safety and calm neighborhood 
streets. The program is dedicated to creating safer roads for 
pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists alike in residential areas.

Interested parties are encouraged to begin the process by completing a 
Statement of Interest and Statements of Support. These documents are 
crucial first steps in bringing traffic calming measures to local and 
collector residential streets.

“The City of Lawrence is committed to driving improvements in our 
neighborhoods through direct engagement," says Melissa Sieben, Director 
of the City of Lawrence's Municipal Services & Operations Department. 
"We are thrilled to open this call for projects and engage with our 
community to provide enhancements to neighborhoods to improve traffic 
safety and management.”

Based on feedback from the community, the traffic calming project 
process was recently revised to reduce the burden on neighborhoods to 
participate by simplifying the application process and providing staff 
support to help define the scope of potential projects.

Applicants must submit their forms to the Municipal Services & 
Operations Department by emailing saferspeeds at lawrenceks.org 
<mailto:saferspeeds at lawrenceks.org>. The program’s comprehensive process 
document is available for reference to guide applicants through the 
submission process.

The NTMP focuses on reducing vehicle speeds, increasing safety, and 
promoting a more pleasant community environment. The process involves a 
thorough evaluation of each project, considering factors such as traffic 
volume, vehicle speeds, crash history, and public feedback. City staff 
will then work with stakeholders to refine project goals and, if 
approved, move forward with implementation.

Here, residents can also find a wealth of resources and the necessary 
forms for project submission.
