D Street Traffic Calming Pilot Project
Project Description
The D Street Traffic Calming Pilot Project is a temporary street redesign effort to slow traffic and create safer conditions for people walking, bicycling, and driving on this busy corridor. The pilot project will feature the following enhancements on D Street from Petaluma Boulevard South to Windsor Drive.
- Traffic calming and pedestrian enhancements, including speed reduction markings, bulb-outs, and median crosswalk islands
- New crosswalks at Laurel Ave. and 10th Street
- New and enhanced bike lanes along D Street between Petaluma Boulevard South and the city limits

Timing & Construction Impacts
The pilot project will be installed in later this summer. Construction of the pilot is expected to take approximately two weeks, with two-way traffic maintained throughout the installation. We will keep our D Street neighbors and our entire community updated throughout this process.
