Wynnedale council to solicit resident feedback on temporary speed-hump trial
Summary
Council reviewed a Safety and Security Task Force request to install six temporary speed humps in South Wynnedale (trial) at an estimated cost of $9,500 and voted to send details to residents for comment; a funding vote was tabled.
The Wynnedale Town Council on Aug. 20 discussed a Safety and Security Task Force request to install six temporary speed humps and associated signage in South Wynnedale as a trial and agreed to solicit resident feedback before voting on funding.
The task force requested an allocation of $9,500 to purchase six temporary, bolt-down speed humps, 10 signs, and shipping for a trial run on targeted roads. Neighbor Aaron Schmoll told the council the humps would be bolted to the road. Council member Cheryl McBride asked about the timeframe and re-evaluation plan; the task force said that schedule was to be decided. Council member Sue Rice objected to high-visibility color patterns ("yellow & black" or "orange & black") that she said would make the neighborhood look like a large retail parking lot; the task force said the humps could be purchased in solid black.
Cheryl McBride moved and Sue Rice seconded a motion to send information about the proposed trial to all Wynnedale residents and request comments; Judy Gruber volunteered to draft the email. Council member Jarnell Craig said she needed to check available funds for the project. The substantive funding vote was tabled until the next Town Council meeting.
Background: the proposal is for temporary, bolt-down speed humps placed in South Wynnedale for a trial period; details on evaluation metrics and re-evaluation timing were not specified in the minutes.
