PRESENTATION BY JOHN DEPALMA, MCMAHON ASSOCIATES – TRAFFIC CALMING IN THE COVE

Mr. John DePalma, General Manager, McMahon Associates, transportation consultants for the City of Deerfield Beach, addressed the City Commission regarding the issue of traffic calming in the Cove neighborhood. Mr. DePalma was accompanied by two residents from the Cove neighborhood, Ray Lavoie and Karen McKenzie. As per Mr. DePalma, McMahon Associates and many of the residents in the Cove neighborhood worked together diligently in a series or workshops, to formulate potential solutions to the dilemma of traffic congestion. According to Mr. DePalma, the workshops allowed the residents and his association to assess the problem from a transportation perspective. He stated that there are ten specific locals in the Cove neighborhood that need to have traffic calming features. He also stated that the Cove residents wholeheartedly support the plan for traffic calming in their neighborhood. According to Mr. DePalma, there will be gateway sign features incorporated into the neighborhood; channelization off of Federal Highway to deter intrusive traffic and the issue of speeding has been examined closely. Mr. DePalma stated that he has worked closely with the City of Deerfield Beach Public Works Department in order to gain further insight of the problem. There have been condition surveys and preliminary traffic observations conducted in order to validate the plan. According to Mr. DePalma, the goal is to design the plan and implement it before the seasonal influx of traffic into that area. Mr. Lavoie and Ms. McKenzie publicly thanked City Manager Deetjen and Assistant to the City Manager Jeff Rink for their positive contributions to the project. Mayor Capellini stated that the money for the project will come directly out of the City’s budget, and the money received from selling bonds will be used to replace the money. The Mayor stated that he would not like to see the implementation of the project delayed due to lack of funds.
