"I think this would be a great strategy for Highland Park"

"I don't want Highland Park to participate in regional planning"

Do you think Highland Park should work regionally to prioritize traffic reduction strategies in future planning

and development initiatives?

““The traffic flow in this area, especially on Airline between Mockingbird south to the Katy Trail entrance, is very problematic. Too many drivers use it as a cut through and do so at a dangerous high rate of speed.”

“Blocking off Airline at Mockingbird doesn’t “eliminate a lot of the thru traffic,” it merely redirects it. Closing streets isn’t going to make traffic congestion better. Speed limit enforcement, however, is something I can get behind.”

“During the course of the SMU construction project behind us, the traffic on Airline has gotten significantly worse. It takes us forever to find a break in the traffic during peak times to back out of our driveway, and i have almost been hit several times by cars flying down the street out nowhere.”

“We live on Airline Rd. and have noticed a significant pickup in traffic in the last year. My gravest concern is the speed with which cars travel on Airline combined with the volume of pedestrian traffic with runners/walkers heading to the Katy Trail... I agree that the optimal solution would be to close Airline at Mockingbird.”

“We live on Drexel between Abbott and Swanee and have noticed a huge increase in SMU parking and people diverting to our street as a cut through instead of Mockingbird. With three small children that are constantly playing in the front yard, this is a major issue…”

“My husband and I live near the corner of Westside and Southern Avenue. I have not seen speed bumps anywhere in Highland Park but would love someway to slow people down as they turn sharply down our street and head to the tollway entrance at Southern and Eastern.”

“I am school crossing guard at Byron@St. John. The traffic begin to jam up at 07:30 going south on Byron, east on St. John and coming west on St. John the traffic starts backing up.”

“What if we added some stop signs and speed bumps to slow people down but keep Airline open?”

“With more use of Katy Trail and Airline it would be nice to have the sidewalk extended fully to the trail on the west side of Airline. Cross walks should be more clearly marked at this trail crossing, Knox and Abbott, Harvard/Hillcrest and Abbott.”

“We love Highland Park and want to keep the slow neighborhood feel.”

“I think HP should work with DART to create iconic bus stops at least at major intersections. It’s sad really, to see the people who work in our homes and businesses standing in the rain and snow or oppressive heat waiting for the bus to take them home.”

“I often feel unsafe crossing 4800 block of Abbott Ave from my home to Abbott Park/Katy Trail. Cars appear to routinely travel above the speed limit and street parking limits pedestrian visualization of the road.”

“Best place to walk? Lakeside! Worst? Mockingbird Lane westbound from Mockingbird to Douglas, tied with northbound Preston Road from Armstrong to Mockingbird.”

“Please don’t seal off Airline at Mockingbird…or the other north-south

streets between Airline and Abbott. This would just create an absolute mess for

residents trying to reach their homes in that section of HP.”

“The 4500 block of Beverly has too much traffic and speeds are too high. It seems to me that the issue

worsened after the construction on Mockingbird a few years back. We live on the block and often have

difficulty backing out of the driveway...”

“Some bike lanes would be nice. I am not aware

of any. Parking for bikes would be great as well.”

“Parking all the way to the corners of the streets is a serious safety issue. When there is construction going on, pickup trucks park all the way down the streets to the absolute end creating a wide wall which blocks one’s vision.”

“I drive down Mockingbird to get to our house going east and usually cut off on Drexel before Hillcrest to avoid the congestion.”
