Pasco to review traffic-calming options and adopt updated streetlight standards

City staff will present options for traffic calming and ask the council to consider updated streetlight standards, the program moderator said.

The moderator described traffic calming as the use of road design to discourage speeding, racing and other potentially dangerous activity and emphasized that options extend beyond speed bumps. Staff will bring engineering and planning analyses to determine the best solution for each area.

The moderator also said the city is updating its streetlight standards — first presented to the city council in November and shown to the development community in January — and that the next step is to make those new rules part of Pasco's design and construction standards.

No specific locations, technical designs or adoption dates were provided in the transcript; the items were pitched as upcoming presentations and procedural next steps.
