Citywide Traffic Calming Projects In Coral Gables Move Forward

Press release from the City of Coral Gables:

May 13, 2020

The City of Coral Gables held community meetings regarding traffic calming projects prior to the outbreak of COVID-19 on January 22, 2020 for Zone 1, and on March 9 for Zone 2, respectively. The City continues to move forward with the Citywide Traffic Calming projects in these two zones. Conceptual designs for each of the locations presented in these meetings are being developed.

It is anticipated that the concept designs for speed cushions, speed tables, and roundabouts will be mailed with the ballots to property owners in the areas surrounding the proposed devices by middle of next month. Property owners will have 30 days to respond. The balloting process will begin early June and extend through the beginning of July. Should residents decide to move forward with what is being proposed in their areas, the next step in the process is final design. If approved, construction is currently on schedule to begin by the end of this year.

Upcoming schedules for community meetings related to Zones 3 through 5 will be announced after social distancing measures have been relaxed. The City appreciates the community’s support and patience throughout this process.
