Mission council denies speed‑hump request on Pebble Drive after LIDAR speed survey finds limited speeding
Summary
After traffic surveys and LIDAR checks, the Mission City Council voted to deny a resident petition to install speed humps on the 2400 block of Pebble Drive. Police reported limited speeding during multiple surveys; 28 of 35 households signed in favor of traffic calming but staff recommended denial based on measured speeds.
The Mission City Council voted to deny a petition to install speed humps on the 2400 block of Pebble Drive after traffic studies showed minimal speeding during three LIDAR‑assisted surveys.
Mission police Chief Torres presented the data to the council, reporting that traffic safety committee surveys captured 37 vehicles on one sample day with one vehicle recorded a mile over the limit; another four‑hour sample recorded 27 vehicles with two exceeding the speed limit (one at 32 mph and one at 38 mph); a third evening sample showed none exceeding the limit. The department said surveys used LIDAR and an unmarked vehicle to ensure accuracy.
Police also reported a community petition: 28 of 35 households in the block signed in favor of speed humps. Despite the signatures, staff recommended denial because the measured speeds did not meet the city ordinance criteria for traffic calming. The council approved the staff recommendation to deny the installation; the clerk recorded the motion outcome as a council vote resulting in denial.
