The TIP serves as a roadmap for future street and pedestrian improvements and helps position the City to compete for state and federal grant funding. Because transportation funding is highly competitive, having projects identified in adopted planning documents is often required before grant applications can even be submitted. The upcoming TIP update is expected to be presented to the City Council later this year. Small Improvements Matter Too Even when a full capital project is not immediately planned, the City can still evaluate smaller operational improvements. Staff may review vegetation that limits visibility, assess signage, or identify maintenance needs that could improve pedestrian awareness and sight distance. These smaller maintenance efforts can help improve safety while larger infrastructure projects move through the planning and funding process. Working Together for Safer Streets Community feedback plays an important role in identifying areas of concern and helping the City understand how residents experience local streets every day. While not every request can result in an immediate construction project, resident input helps guide future planning discussions and safety evaluations. As Normandy Park continues to invest in pedestrian infrastructure, the City remains focused on balancing safety, funding availability, engineering standards, and long-term transportation goals to create a safer, more connected community for everyone. In some cases, adding paint alone can unintentionally create a false sense of security if roadway conditions are not appropriate for a marked crossing. For that reason, engineers evaluate whether additional safety features— such as signage, curb ramps, lighting, flashing beacons, or traffic calming measures— are also necessary.
