The homes on EN Broadway are all very nice homes on nice lots. These homes continue to have the most signage regarding the idea of traffic calming at the intersection with High Street in Clintonville.

The biggest Cintonville Real Estate issues here are for those homes on the surrounding side streets where cars “cut through” to avoid the intersection all together or to make up for the lack of the ability to turn South on High Street while on EN Broadway heading West — ie. homes on Milton and Hennepin and those first three blocks of Brighton. Also, those on Oakland Park closest to the alley of Broadway Place.

Right now, let’s face it, it’d be a bit harder to sell a home in one of these places, despite the great Clintonville locations because of the traffic. Roundabout or turn lane or Whatever traffic easing conclusion is reached, if it -in fact- eases traffic here, would be a boon to the peace of mind of those homeowners and those considering buying there.

I don’t like the time it takes to get through that intersection and I don’t like not being to turn South on High but in the end, the traffic–EVEN during rush hour–really isn’t that bad.  I’d like to see more consideration given to PEOPLE who may be walking around and crossing either of these streets. Clintonville is a great place to buy a house, in part, because it’s a great place to walk, especially up and down High Street.

Off the top of my head, the only circle-type traffic calming I can think of in Greater Clintonville is on Stanton-technically not in Clintonville at all-which has both circles and bumps to slow down through traffic.
