Rosedale Traffic
Rosedale Traffic Calming Project 2008
The City of Austin Transportation Division selected Rosedale for a Neighborhood Traffic Calming Project. The City sent a survey and meeting invitation to all Rosedale property owners and tenants in early January. About 80 - 100 people attended the first meeting. Transportation experts presented a slideshow demonstrating the City’s approved traffic-calming devices and then answered dozens of questions. Finally, we broke into groups based on where we lived, and each area selected Representatives and Alternates. Once the Working Group has created a plan for traffic calming, the City will send that information out to all Rosedale addresses for a final vote to approve or disapprove the plan. If the plan is approved, the City intends to have everything implemented by Fall 2008.

About Speed Cushions 
Speed cushions consist of either recycled rubber or asphalt, raised about 3 inches in height. The length of the cushion is about 10 ft. The spaces between the cushions allow emergency vehicles to partially straddle the device. Read more more on the City of Austin Web site. You can also see some firsthand on 38 1/2 St. between Cherrywood and Airport (east of IH35).
