Questionnaire in Mail on Side-Street Traffic
As part of a study ordered by the Beverly Hills City Council to determine how much commuter traffic is spilling onto residential streets, a questionnaire is being mailed to selected residents and business operators in that city and parts of Los Angeles.
The two-part questionnaire will collect information about travel patterns and attitudes toward solving traffic problems.
Preliminary surveys have indicated that a significant portion of drivers on side streets were there to avoid congestion on major thoroughfares.
One part of the survey asks whether respondents would favor installation on their streets of such traffic diverters as right-turn-only restrictions, street closures or speed bumps.
Beginning in April, a series of workshops will be held to discuss the study. Questions should be directed to William Stracker, director of transportation and engineering, at (213) 285-2553.
