Speed management plan demonstration on river view drive.
Is anyone else frustrated with the Speed Management Plan demonstrations? From what I’ve read, Riverview wasn’t chosen because it’s proven to be the city’s worst speeding problem—it was selected as a demonstration corridor to test whether chicanes could work on collector streets. As someone who lives here, I’m not convinced our neighborhood is the right place to inconvenience residents just to test a concept that may eventually be used elsewhere. The project has a total budget of about $307,800, mostly funded through a federal grant, and while I know the demonstrations are intended to evaluate speed reduction, emergency response impacts, and whether these ideas could be used elsewhere in the city, I’m struggling to see whether the benefits justify the disruption. I’m genuinely curious—do people think this is a good use of resources, or are others as skeptical as I am?
