QEI completed traffic studies at various intersections or corridors around the city. These studies are initiated by local officials (Aldermen) and are usually requested to address speeding, pedestrian safety, or other traffic issues. The studies review the crash history, evaluate roadway geometries, and assess possible traffic calming measures to address the problems specified. A letter is sent to the ward, including the study’s findings and recommended traffic calming measures. A phase I concept is then developed if the Alderman decides to fund the recommendations. Aside from studies, QEI reviewed ordinances for the Committee on Pedestrian and Traffic Safety and created phase I concepts for miscellaneous requests that come to the Traffic Studies Team.
