BUILDING AND TESTING A CUSTOMER RESPONSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC CONTROL PROGRAM

Kirkland, Washington has a population of 45,000, an area of 11 square miles and is located 4 miles east of Seattle on the eastern shore of Lake Washington. Kirkland's street system is 145 miles in length and is based on a grid, interrupted in some areas by rolling terrain and I-405, a regional Interstate that runs the length of the city. The Neighborhood Traffic Control Program (NTCP) began with the City Council's efforts to respond to neighborhood concerns. As with programs in other nearby cities, it was designed to bring new responses to common traffic problems where traditional solutions had proven ineffective. In August of 1993, a program coordinator was hired and $50,000 was allocated for constructing improvements.
