5. What other ideas do you have to calm traffic?

Dean Park Road predates the residential development in Dean Park and the long steep gradient encourages excessive speed. Some jurisdictions have also used small traffic circles to slow traffic flow. I defer to those with more expertise as to what might work best in this situation.

Also the cost of different options would need to be determined and how those costs would be funded. There would need to be consultation with and support of the residents to whatever options are acted upon.
