Slow Streets Program

The Slow Streets program is the successor to the neighborhood traffic management program (NTMP) and provides an opportunity for residents to request traffic calming on local streets, while prioritizing safety improvements on local streets. The program was suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic and is undergoing a review following direction from the Vision Zero Action Plan.

The program applies to local serving roadways, defined as Local Roads, Neighborhood Connectors, and Bicycle Boulevards in the City's General Plan Circulation Element (Street classifications(PDF, 398KB) ).

Several documents provide context for the restart of the program

• City Council study session (September 12, 2023) staff report, meeting minutes
• Complete Streets Commission (April 13, 2022) staff report, meeting minutes
• Prior NTMP guidelines(PDF, 3MB)  

Staff receive requests using several methods, including ACT Menlo Park, direct phone calls or emails from residents, and requests from City Council. As requests that are relevant to the Slow Streets program are received, staff will add them to the list below.
