Project overview
The City of Beverly Hills is studying ways to reduce speeding and cut-through traffic to create a safer and more comfortable street for residents—especially those who walk or cycle.
Beginning early March through mid-April 2024, the City will install temporary traffic calming devices at the intersections along Clifton Way between Robertson and La Cienega Boulevards for the community to experience and provide feedback.
- Temporary Traffic Circles at:
- Clifton/Arnaz
- Clifton/Le Doux
- Temporary Curb Extensions at:
- Clifton/Hamel
- Clifton/Willaman
- Clifton/Carson
- Clifton/Stanley
Installation will occur in phases. Once installation is complete at all intersections, the devices will remain for at least 6 months.
City Council approved this installation on December 5, 2023. More details can be found below.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
On Saturday, March 25, 2023, the City placed temporary traffic calming devices at the intersections of Clifton/Le Doux and Clifton/Stanley for the community to experience and provide feedback to the City. Below are conceptual designs of the temporary traffic calming devices, which included a traffic circle and curb extensions.
As a follow-up to the event, the City hosted an online survey in April/May 2023 regarding your experiences using the temporary devices and thoughts regarding longer-term installations. Staff presented preliminary survey results at the June 1, 2023 Traffic and Parking Commission meeting (view the staff report here). Final survey results indicated continued support for the project, including a 6-month demonstration of traffic calming devices on Clifton Way between Robertson and La Cienega Boulevards.
At the October 5, 2023, Traffic and Parking Commission meeting, staff presented conceptual design for the potential 6-month demonstration, which could begin as early as winter 2024 depending on material procurement and weather conditions. The Commission unanimously recommended that City Council install the temporary project. To view the meeting recording, click here. To view the staff report, click here.
At the December 5, 2023, City Council Study Session meeting, the City Council unanimously approved installation of the 6-month demonstration. To view the meeting recording, click here.
