Proposed Recommendations
Proposed Recommendations consists of:

Curb Extension: Extend the curb on SW 121st Terrace to deter eastbound right turns.
Roundabouts: Adding traffic circles will discourage vehicles from cutting through Kendall Breeze to bypass traffic.
Pedestrian Crosswalks: Ensure safe access to the park area southeast of SW 123rd Terrace and SW 123rd Pass.
Median Closure: This will prevent cut-through vehicles from using their current routes through the Kendall Breeze neighborhood.
Signage: Install “No Right Turns, Monday-Friday 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM” signs along SW 120th Street entrances to Kendall Breeze, and Left Turn Only signs at key intersections to further reduce cut-through traffic.
