The City of Fargo is committed to enhancing the safety and livability of our roadways through innovative design and thoughtful planning. This survey focuses on gathering community feedback about potential traffic‑calming measures along 64th Avenue South to better understand which concepts residents feel could improve comfort and safety for people driving, walking, and biking.

Potential improvements being explored include tree plantings in the boulevards, new center medians, additional driver speed‑feedback signs, and the installation of crosswalk beacons to support safer pedestrian crossings. These concepts are intended to encourage slower vehicle speeds and improve visibility. Community perspectives are essential as we evaluate which options may be appropriate for this corridor; however, no decisions have been made at this time.

Your feedback will help the City better understand community priorities and guide any future considerations. Renderings and concept scenarios below illustrate ideas currently under evaluation and are intended to support the discussion—not represent final plans.

Boulevard Tree Plantings

Description:
This potential option would add a consistent double row of trees along the boulevards on both the north and south sides of the avenue.

Traffic Calming Effect:
By adding vertical elements to the roadway environment, the trees change what drivers see as they travel. This creates a sense of a narrower, more enclosed corridor, which naturally encourages drivers to slow down even though the pavement width stays the same.

Raised Center Medians

Description:
This potential option would install raised center concrete medians along portions of the roadway, creating a physical separation between eastbound and westbound lanes.

Traffic Calming Effect:
By reducing the usable lane width, the median has a direct physical influence on driver behavior. This more structured environment naturally encourages drivers to remain attentive and travel at lower speeds.

Pedestrian Crossing Enhancements

Description:
This potential option would introduce a high‑visibility marked crosswalk across the roadway, paired with prominent warning signs on both sides.

Traffic Calming Effect:
By creating a clearly visible crossing point for pedestrians, drivers receive a strong visual cue that the roadway environment is changing. The added signage and markings break up the long, uninterrupted corridor and remind motorists that pedestrians may be present, encouraging a more cautious and attentive driving approach.

Driver Speed Feedback Sign

Description:
This potential concept would install pole‑mounted digital radar speed signs alongside standard speed limit signs, positioned to face oncoming traffic.

Traffic Calming Effect:
These signs provide real‑time feedback by displaying a driver’s current speed, offering an immediate visual reminder when they are exceeding the limit. This dynamic cue increases awareness and encourages drivers to self‑correct their speed, promoting safer and more consistent travel through the corridor.
