Committee advances speed‑hump ordinance for Second Ward streets

A sponsor representing the Second Ward presented Board Bill 71 at the Oct. 1 Public Infrastructure & Utilities Committee meeting and asked for a swift vote to advance a familiar speed‑hump ordinance for several locations in the ward. The sponsor described the measure as the “pretty comfortable and familiar speed hump bill” and asked the committee for favorable consideration.

Committee members had no questions, and no members of the public signed up to speak on the bill. After the sponsor closed, a motion for a due‑pass recommendation was moved and seconded; committee members recorded no objections and the bill advanced to the full Board with a due‑pass recommendation.

The ordinance proposal is a standard local traffic calming measure and, as presented, contained no contested amendments or public opposition at the committee level. It will be scheduled for full Board consideration.
