Residents approve three speed humps on Highland Avenue; board authorizes installation
Summary
A resident ballot returned 12–5 in favor (70.5%) of reconfiguring Highland Avenue with three speed humps spaced per the engineer’s plan. The board authorized township management and public works to proceed with design and installation timed to paving schedule.
After months of resident complaints about volume and speed on Highland Avenue, the board reviewed a neighborhood ballot and authorized installation of three speed humps per the engineer’s spacing plan.
Public Works staff reported 17 ballot responses from affected residents, with 12 in favor and five opposed, representing 70.5% support among respondents. The board moved to authorize township management and the public works director to proceed with the new three‑hump design and to incorporate the changes in the Highland Avenue paving project.
Members noted the decision follows prior public discussion and an engineer’s plan; no additional public speakers objected at the meeting. The board asked staff to monitor outcomes, and members discussed the option of follow-up speed/volume testing after installation to measure effectiveness.
The board approved the motion by voice vote and asked staff to keep the neighborhood informed about scheduling and installation details.
