CHCA MANA Traffic Control Map Weekdays A.M.

CHCA MANA Traffic Control Map

Attached are maps showing restricted and allowed turns during the hours stipulated by the Traffic Control Plan which seeks to reduce the massive amount of cut-through traffic in the Clairmont Heights and Medlock Area neighborhoods.  Red arrows show restricted turns. Green arrows show allowed turns. One misapprehension about the Traffic Control Plan has been that visitors/tradesmen etc. would not be able to enter the neighborhood weekdays between the hours of 6-9 AM or 4-7 PM. A review of these two maps should allay some of those concerns. All green arrows represent legal turns. Click on the static images below to see larger sizes. They are also viewable in Google Map format: Weekday Mornings and Weekday Afternoons.

Traffic Control Meeting Documents

Last night (Thursday, February 5, 2009) a large crowd attended the first of several meetings to discuss implementation of the Traffic Control Plan which CHCA/MANA residents put together during four community meetings in 2008. Notes from the meeting will be forthcoming. In the meantime, we attach the agenda (with FAQ's), the draft implementation policy, and the draft ordinance for residents to review. Residents are invited to email comments and questions to the project leader, John Maynard. For background, please see the Traffic Control page on the website. Those who had difficulty finding the traffic study referred to at the meeting will find it here.

CHCA/MANA Traffic Control Plan Clarifications

From John Maynard, CHCA Board VP and co-Chair of the CHCA/MANA Traffic Control Planning Committee...

Dear CHCA and MANA Residents,

Please note these clarifications and information concerning the Traffic Control Plan.  While it remains impossible for me to answer every question from a year long activity involving hundreds of people and countless hours of research, reading, discussions, planning, and meeting, this brief synopsis may be worthwhile for those who did not attend the meetings.

Traffic Control

Update from April 2, 2009: "County officials have informed the Traffic Control Committee that the traffic control plan developed by residents of CHCA and MANA must be approved by 65% of the residents of both neighborhoods using an official petition for the plan to be implemented in full. Additionally, the DeKalb Police Department has told County officials that it does not have the capability to enforce the "resident excepted" hour-based turn restriction signs. This, coupled with the immense effort it would take to gather petition signatures would be overwhelming . However, resident homeowners on streets within the CHCA or MANA area can petition for traffic control signage (as listed in the traffic control plan) on a street by street basis, 65% homeowner approval on the street, or portion of street, is needed. For additional details read further."
