BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) — The City of Bakersfield created a form for residents to request road improvements and traffic calming features in their neighborhood.

The City created a Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program request form.

“The safety of pedestrians, bike riders and drivers using City streets is one of Bakersfield’s top priorities,” said in a release.

Officials said residents can submit their concerns using the new form, which includes an interactive map to pinpoint where the evaluation was requested.

In a release, it said, “You can even include a desired solution such as ‘I’d like traffic to slow down in my neighborhood. Can the City install speed humps?’ or ‘I think this intersection needs stop sign flashers and the crosswalk needs a fresh coat of paint,’ or even as simple as ‘I want this road to be safer for my kids.’”

Residents can upload a photo, video or other documents to the form to help staff better understand the issue being reported.

Officials said the upgraded system will help staff respond to concerns the public has about their roads and neighborhoods so they can be addressed.

All requests and suggested solutions will be evaluated by staff to determine if they are appropriate, reasonable and effective for the desired outcomes.

“The City of Bakersfield continues to look for ways to improve the safety of all users of our roads, sidewalks and bike paths and trails, including our Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program and developing Safe Routes to Schools,” said in the release.
