LaSalle residents ask council for speed bumps on Hennepin Street; council tables request pending police review
Summary
Residents urged the LaSalle City Council to install speed bumps on Hennepin Street near Hegler Park to slow vehicles and protect children; council voted to table the request and asked police to monitor and report back.
Leanne Pishka, a resident of 1137 Hennepin Street, told the LaSalle City Council that cars, trucks and motorcycles travel “at massive speeds” on Hennepin Street between 11th Street and McArthur Road and asked the council to install a speed bump near Hegler Park before someone is seriously hurt. Her husband, Jerry, spoke about vehicles that he said cannot safely traverse existing speed bumps.
The request centers on Hennepin Street from 11th Street to McArthur Road, near Hegler Park and the pool. Pishka said she has discussed the issue with Mayor Jeff Grove and urged the council to act before school resumes so children on scooters and bicycles will be safer.
