Welcome! The Donna Drive Traffic Calming "blog" is your neighborhood news source for information regarding the Donna Drive Traffic Calming project. With so many of us having access to the Internet these days we thought it would be an effective and affordable method of communication.

Initially, Tom and I will be providing regular updates in this blog that will cover all aspects of the traffic calming project. You'll be informed about the progress between the City, the traffic calming consulting firm, and our neighborhood.

As many of you remember back in June 2008 the City of Carlsbad voted to grant funds for the initial design phase for the project to officially get underway. Currently, our liaison with the City, Jim Murry, reports that he is undergoing a search to find a suitable consulting firm who will work with the City and the neighborhood to complete the design phase.

Once this step is completed, the final street design will be submitted to the City for approval. Of course, we'll need to rally together and make sure it passes, plus make sure it is approved as a budgeted line item.

But, that is down the road.

For now, leave your comments, ask questions, and let us know what you think. Ultimately, we look forward to a successful reduction in driver speeds on Donna and Basswood Drives.
