BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK\/KBFX) \u2014 The City of Bakersfield created a form for residents to request road improvements and traffic calming features in their neighborhood.<\/p>\n

The City created a Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program request form.<\/a><\/p>\n

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

In a release, it said, \u201cYou can even include a desired solution such as \u2018I\u2019d like traffic to slow down in my neighborhood. Can the City install speed humps?\u2019 or \u2018I think this intersection needs stop sign flashers and the crosswalk needs a fresh coat of paint,\u2019 or even as simple as \u2018I want this road to be safer for my kids.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Residents can upload a photo, video or other documents to the form to help staff better understand the issue being reported.<\/p>\n

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

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

\u201cThe 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,\u201d said in the release.<\/p>\n
