Traffic Engineering for Cities with Marc and Mike

The Public Works Nerds

Marc and Mike go solo in this episode focusing on Traffic Engineering for Cities. Leveraging Mike's years of compiling data and producing reports and guides for various traffic related issues at the City level, the Public Works Nerds tackle a couple of frequent complaints such as speeding, request for stop signs and crosswalks. We also touch briefly on Complete Streets Policies, Comprehensive Plans and managing requests from elected officials. It's a conversation between two seasoned engineers at the City level!
