Residents press for speed cushions on Stefan; committee to urge mayoral action
Summary
A Conservation Advisory Committee discussion recorded resident complaints about speeding on Stefan and considered asking the mayor to direct the city engineer to install speed cushions funded in the budget; no formal vote was recorded.
Committee members said neighbors have collected signatures and raised speeding concerns on Stefan, a street running through Ward 7 into Ward 6, and discussed requesting traffic-calming measures from the mayor.
The committee discussed a traffic-calming device called a “speed cushion,” described in the meeting as a modification of a speed table that is less disruptive to the roadway. Members said they had met with the mayor and that the mayor would need to instruct the city engineer to move forward. Committee members indicated funds for this kind of work were placed in the budget, but they did not report any formal legislative action required to install cushions.
Members debated process and next steps. The committee agreed the item likely does not require an ordinance and would proceed as a staff-driven action if the mayor directs the engineer to implement it. Several members said they would advocate with the mayor to encourage the work; the transcript includes no formal motion, vote, or a recorded assignment to staff in this meeting.
No formal timeline or installation plan was provided during the discussion. The committee noted that final decisions about whether to install cushions, and where, rest with city staff and the mayor’s office.
