Thank you for your participation in the Ney Avenue Neighborhood Traffic Calming Plan! Detailed design for traffic calming elements is now underway. Speed humps have been constructed on Ney, Outlook, and Hillmont. Our detailed design for traffic calming improvements has been delayed but continues to move forward with construction anticipated to be completed in December 2025.

About
In May 2020, OakDOT partnered with area residents and the Parker Elementary School community to identify strategies to decrease traffic speeds, reduce cut-through traffic, and create a safer and more inviting environment for the Ney Avenue community. The study area is bounded by 73rd Avenue to the west, 82nd Avenue to the east, Hillmont Drive to the north, and MacArthur Boulevard to the south. Solutions include speed humps, curb extensions, and other physical changes to the street. The plan's recommendations include near-term improvements such as speed humps and longer-term improvements that the City can deliver with paving projects or grant funding.
OakDOT staff are now at work designing traffic calming improvements, and these will be phased in over time. The first element was to repair existing speed humps and build new ones, which was completed in 2022.
What traffic calming treatments can you expect?
Concept designs have been prepared for the following treatments. OakDOT is now working on detailed designs to be used in construction. Note that OakDOT originally considered installing a traffic circle at 76th & Ney, however with the installation of the diagonal diverter at 75th & Ney, and the pending turn restriction installation at 76th & MacArthur reducing traffic volume through this intersection, OakDOT has decided to no longer pursue installing the traffic circle.
