Council approves pet‑waste stations and speed humps as part of small infrastructure moves
Summary
Council approved pet‑waste stations for two parks and alternate downtown sites with property‑owner consultation, and approved installing speed humps on the 200 block of Edgewood and considering Dent Lane; staff will finalize locations and maintenance details.
Council approved two related small infrastructure measures intended to improve downtown cleanliness and neighborhood safety.
Parks: Mr. Brown presented a resolution to place pet‑waste stations at Allen Lane Park and Ederton Park and to add additional units near the bike path or downtown based on property‑owner agreements. Council discussed siting, weekly servicing and bag supplies and approved an initial purchase plan (four units estimated at about $1,000 per pack of four) with staff to confirm final locations.
Traffic calming: Staff proposed adding two speed‑hump sets on the 200 block of Edgewood (between Bonner Place) and including Dent Lane in future consideration after resident complaints about speeding. Council discussed options for softer hump designs, bicycle gaps, and whether the ordinance should be revised to allow staff discretion on installations. The council approved a resolution permitting installation and directed staff to include Dent Lane in their evaluation.
Staff will return with exact siting, procurement and maintenance arrangements for both initiatives.
