Residents of the Wall Street town site told the Boulder County Board of County Commissioners that speeding and weekend recreation traffic have made their neighborhood unsafe and asked the county for traffic-calming measures such as speed humps, radar signs and targeted enforcement.

"It's pretty obvious...the traffic speeds are pretty excessive coming through our town site," said Michael Whited, who cited traffic counts gathered when a sheriff's speed detection box was deployed in July and reported a maximum speed of 44 mph in a 15-mph zone during the measurement period. Whited and other residents suggested physical changes including additional speed humps, stationary radar signs and movable rubber speed bumps for winter plowing.

Dr. Chloe Weber, a new Wall Street homeowner, said her 11-year-old son has limited danger awareness and that she cannot fully fence her property; she asked the county to consider the children's safety when planning interventions. Longtime resident Jeff Holland said increased weekend recreation has brought drivers and cyclists who do not observe the 15-mph limit and recommended intermittent enforcement to deter dangerous speeds.

Commissioner Levy said she received emails and materials from residents and had shared them with a county traffic engineer, and she said the county will look into what further steps might be possible. Commissioners did not approve funding or a specific project at the meeting.

Speakers asked for a mix of near-term engineering (additional humps or radar signs), documentation through traffic monitoring, and targeted weekend enforcement by the sheriff's office. County staff were asked to review submitted materials and respond through the commissioners' office; no schedule for implementation was provided at the meeting.
