How do we prioritize requests? Volume of traffic on roadway Posted regulatory speed, and average speed of traffic
Current design standards (ie. lighting levels, site lines etc) Implementation costs
Volume of pedestrians
Community equity
Pedestrian crossing distances
Accessibility
Proximity to school or playground zones
Conflict with existing infrastructure
Generators in the area (daycares, senior centers etc)
Proximity to nearest traffic control device
