Abstract:The Western Transportation Institute (WTI) has been coordinating with Bike Walk Montana and the Montana Department of Commerce’s Main Street Program to help small towns with pop-up projects aimed at slowing traffic to create safer streets. The Department of Commerce suggested opportunities for pop-up traffic calming in Hamilton, Montana, where City staff had already been discussing traffic calming on State Street. WTI worked with Hamilton’s city staff to provide technical assistance on the planning, engagement, installation, and evaluation of the project. Once goals were identified, WTI staff drafted sketches of curb extensions and pedestrian refuge islands, including bollards and planters, and presented them back to City of Hamilton Staff, City Council, Emergency Services, and the community for feedback and initial approval. The traffic-calmed intersections at 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 6th Streets have 2-way stops, while there are no stop signs on State St. through this corridor. Figure 7 shows the proposed curb extension sketch at South 2nd Street, which narrows the State St. crosswalks from 35 to 22 feet.
