Traffic Committee Request Form

City residents and businesses can submit traffic and parking requests for their neighborhoods and the commercial district by completing this questionnaire. Once submitted, the requests are reviewed by the City’s Traffic Committee, which typically meets on the second Thursday of each month. Requests submitted by the end of the month will be reviewed at the following month’s meeting. The committee carefully evaluates each concern, assesses its potential impact on the community, and determines the appropriate course of action. Feedback and decisions from the committee are then communicated back to the residents to ensure transparency and address the concerns effectively.
