Committee engrosses bill to add speed humps on 4300 block of West Pine Boulevard

The Legislation Rules Committee on Wednesday engrossed Board Bill 33, an ordinance directing the director of streets to install speed humps on the 4300 block of West Pine Boulevard.

Clerk Hegs read the bill summary, which identifies Alderman U. Michael Browning as the introducer and cites previously enacted ordinances referenced in the bill language. The clerk and staff confirmed that dates, figures, cross-references and citations had been reviewed by legal and financial analysts, that amendments had been incorporated and that exhibits and attachments were included.

Committee members raised no substantive questions during the checklist and a motion to engross the bill as amended in committee was moved and seconded. The clerk recorded the bill as engrossed.

Why it matters: The bill directs traffic-calming measures on a specific block of West Pine Boulevard, a local street where residents and motorists will experience the change if the ordinance is approved by the full board and implemented by the Director of Streets.

The committee motion recorded the bill as engrossed; further procedural steps include placement on the full board agenda for final passage and subsequent implementation by the city's streets department.
