Antioch Working on Traffic Calming Plan on James Donlon
Back in September, the Antioch City Council discussed traffic safety on James Donlon Blvd and directed staff to work on traffic calming. John Samuelson, Public Works/City Engineer Director, stated James Donlon has been their highest priority.
“We are evaluating James Donlon Blvd and we are evaluating 10th Street, those are our highest priority streets that we are evaluating outside of the traffic calming petition process,” stated Samuelson. “The other streets that you have named I would have to check on the list, I do not recall if they are on there.”
At the November 22 meeting, while working on Sycamore Ave traffic calming, Samuelson said they have finished up 10th Street and hopes to bring James Donlon to council in January 2023 while Sycamore would return to the council by April 2023 with a goal to come back faster.
