Summary

A resident asked the council to install speed bumps and traffic‑calming measures on Lou Street, Derry Street and North 20th Street, citing high speeds, children at play and increased through‑traffic since Market Street work.

During the public‑comment portion of the work session, resident Brian Muhammad of 2346 Lou Street urged the council to install speed bumps or other traffic‑calming measures on Lou Street, Derry Street and North 20th Street, saying those streets have heavy traffic and that children and households need safer conditions. He said engineers from Public Works had previously promised to assess Lou Street and that North 20th has become a thoroughfare with higher speeds since nearby Market Street construction.

The council took note of the concern; Public Works had been referenced earlier in the meeting for other items and would be the department to coordinate any traffic‑calming study or installations. No formal motion or vote was taken during the work session on this request.
