Mission council denies request for speed hump after three-day speed survey
Summary
The Mission City Council voted 4-1 to deny a resident request for a speed hump following a three-day speed survey that found only a handful of vehicles marginally over the limit.
Mission City Council members voted 4-1 Monday to deny a resident request for a speed hump following a three-day speed survey of the street in question.
City staff presented the survey results, saying officials conducted three observation periods: morning, afternoon and evening. “On the first day … we had 37 vehicles, and one was going one mile over,” the staff member said. “On the second … out of 27 vehicles, we had two that were a little over the speed limit. One was at 32, and the other was at 38. The third day … out of 33 vehicles, we had none that were speeding.”
Council members discussed the recommendation during the meeting and moved to deny the request. The motion carried on a 4-1 vote, with the mayor announcing, “The ayes have it. 4–1 vote on that.”
Nut graf: The council’s decision follows a three-day traffic study presented to the body and reflects the council’s practice of weighing measured traffic data before approving physical traffic-calming measures.
Councilmembers did not expand the record with additional traffic mitigation directions or a plan to reopen the request; no follow-up study was ordered during the meeting.
Ending: The denial closes this application unless a resident or staff returns with new, substantive data or a revised proposal. The council moved on to the budget report after the vote.
