Residents press for speed humps; commission to map proposed locations

Multiple residents urged the commission on Nov. 3 to install speed humps in several neighborhoods to address speeding and near-miss incidents around school drop-off points. Commissioners discussed different types (rubber bolt-in units versus asphalt humps), placement strategies (roughly one per block in targeted areas), and the need for a clear, map-based proposal to submit to public works and the city council for approval.

"I think we're talking about 10 of the speed humps through that neighborhood," one commissioner said during a lengthy public exchange about locations and design; the commission agreed that Commissioner Alex Ricca would draft a map of recommended locations and return with a formal proposal for review.
