The City of Brooklyn Center dedicates itself to ensuring the safety and welcoming nature of our city streets for all users. As part of this commitment, we are testing temporary traffic-calming measures to ensure the installation of the most effective solutions for safer roads.

2024 Project(s)

East Palmer Lake Neighborhood 

• Traffic calming testing is scheduled for May through October
• The City will pilot two traffic-calming solutions on Newton Avenue
• Newton Avenue was selected as the primary study location because of excessive speeding through the corridor and its use as a north/south shortcut around Humboldt Avenue
• The City will also track traffic patterns on adjacent streets during the tests on Newton. The additional streets tracked will include Logan, Morgan, and Oliver

East Palmer Lake Neighborhood Updates (as of July 23rd, 2024)

• Baseline data has been collected and the City is analyzing it
• The first traffic calming installation has started (see below)

7/23/24 - Speed tables are now installed on Newton Ave. They will remain on Newton until November 1st unless there is an early snow fall.
