Williamson council denies request for speed humps in Ashley Glen after study and citizen ballot
Summary
The Williamson City Council voted 3-0 to deny installation of speed humps in Ashley Glen, citing a low percentage of speeding in a traffic study, a citizen ballot opposing installation, and cost concerns.
The Williamson City Council voted unanimously on April 2 to deny a resident request to install speed‑hump traffic-calming devices in the Ashley Glen subdivision.
Councilmember John Smithson said the engineering study showed a "low percentage of speeding," and council members noted a citizen ballot reflected majority opposition to the installation. Based on the study results, resident input and anticipated cost, the council approved a motion to deny the request (motion John Smithson, second Carol Berry; vote 3‑0).
The decision leaves open non‑physical alternatives the council could pursue, but no follow-up directive to staff was recorded during the meeting. The topic was discussed under unfinished business; the council cited cost and the study findings as the primary reasons for denying the request.
