tl;dr

  • DDOT plans to install a right-in/right-out diversion at the intersection of Franklin St NE and 17th St NE
  • This will be a physical median that restricts driving straight through Franklin St NE on 17th St NE
  • It will also restrict all left turns here (from Franklin to 17th and vice versa)
  • This will reduce “cut-through” traffic on 17th St NE and curtail the constant driver/driver crashes here
  • Unfortunately, it won’t do much to slow down speeds on Franklin St NE
  • I attempted to expand the scope in my written response to the NOI, which contains many more details
  • The comment period has passed, but you can help spread the word with this flyer
