Council reviews traffic-calming data; member notes higher speeds where speed bumps removed
Summary
During the pre-agenda meeting, a council member reviewed recent traffic-calming data and said removal of speed bumps appears to have led to higher vehicle speeds in some locations; staff confirmed top speeds recorded on study segments.
Council members reviewed a traffic-calming update and asked whether removing speed bumps changed driving speeds on local streets.
One council member said the data suggested vehicles were traveling faster after speed bumps were removed, citing recorded top speeds. “We had a, the highest speed at 70 in the bridges and 55 in another,” the council member said while reviewing the traffic study.
City staff noted the study results and did not propose immediate changes at the pre-agenda meeting; the council member said the traffic-calming item would receive further attention at the regular meeting.
No formal direction or vote occurred during the pre-agenda session; staff will present detailed traffic-calming findings and recommendations at the next meeting.
