Mt. Healthy prepares Harrison Phase 2 and streetscape work; three speed humps delivered
Summary
City Manager Bauer told council staff will meet with JMA on Harrison Phase 2 and Strand/ODOT on Hamilton Avenue streetscape; three speed‑hump sets arrived for short‑term placement (Adams and the DIP) and the city plans more permanent traffic‑calming next year.
Mt. Healthy — Council heard Nov. 5 that the city is moving forward with street and traffic‑calming projects, including preplanning for Harrison Phase 2 and a streetscape review on Hamilton Avenue.
City Manager Bauer said staff will meet with engineering consultant JMA to plan Harrison Phase 2 (the southern section) and coordinate potential bidding for related work on Warner and Madison. He also reported that the streetscape consultant (Human Nature) and Strand and Associates walked Hamilton Avenue and discussed bump‑outs and pedestrian improvements; ODOT has been consulted on feasibility and engineers are expected to report their findings at the consultant meeting this Thursday.
On traffic calming, Bauer said three sets of speed humps were delivered to the city. Council members discussed placement (one likely on Adams and another on 'the DIP') and staff said they will use traffic counts and crash data to determine precise locations. The council and staff discussed portable vs. permanent speed humps; staff said permanent humps could be installed next year once paving/blacktop season resumes (staff estimated April as a likely window). The city also confirmed the planning commission will review tenant‑limit zoning items next Tuesday at 5:30 p.m.
These items were reported as project and operations updates; no ordinance or formal action was taken during this portion of the meeting. Staff said they will return with engineering findings and a recommended schedule for installations and any required bidding or procurement.
