Complaints about speeding on Columbia’s South Garth avenue have prompted the city to propose a traffic calming project.

The city will hold an informal open house about the project Tuesday evening from 6-7 at city hall. Residents and motorists will be able to review design proposals on the $30,000 plan and speak to Public Works staff. The city has the funding for the project on Garth, between Stewart and Broadway.
