Impact analysis
Any speed hump or stop sign work would be evaluated for impact-fee credit and possibly included in the Community Benefit Agreement.
Families on Norfolk, Leith, and surrounding residential streets, especially those with children playing outside.
Neighborhoods that would have qualified quickly under the old first-come, first-served process may wait longer under weighted prioritization.

Transportation Advisory Board - Sep 28, 2026
Winter Park is reworking how it handles neighborhood speeding complaints — from how requests qualify, to how projects get prioritized, to what treatments are available. Prior meetings benchmarked the city's policy against the Florida Greenbook and floated ideas like a multi-factor scoring matrix and quick-build pilot treatments.
Transportation Advisory Board - Sep 21, 2026
A new task force is building a consistent, transparent traffic calming process — 18 existing treatments inventoried, toolbox and voting matrix in the works, recommendations due by January. The much-disliked Venetian Way roundabout came in for criticism.
Transportation Advisory Board - Jul 27, 2026
The city is rewriting its informal traffic calming program into a formal manual, benchmarked against the Florida Greenbook. That could mean streets qualify for speed humps based on crashes and cut-through traffic — not just who petitions first — plus pilot installations before permanent builds. Residents who have waited on the two-year study backlog could see a fairer, data-driven priority system.
Transportation Advisory Board - Jul 20, 2026
New speed tables were just installed on Venetian Way and Glenridge Way after speed studies showed 85th-percentile speeds of 43 mph in a 25 mph zone on Glenridge. Post-evaluation studies will follow, and sidewalk gap work nearby is underway.
