Council removes Lake Shore Drive speed bump and asks police to conduct traffic study
Summary
After mixed public comment about speed bumps, the council removed a speed bump on Lake Shore Drive and asked Police Chief Ryan Layman to run traffic monitoring to gather data on speeds and vehicle counts.
The Village of Michiana removed a speed bump on Lake Shore Drive following public comment and a council review of speed-bump placements.
Residents expressed differing views: Mark Zello and Liz Cutler said they opposed the Lake Shore Drive speed bump, while other residents said speed bumps helped slow traffic. Tim McCarthy and Carl Landwehr inspected locations of the village’s 10 speed bumps. The council voted to remove the Lake Shore Drive bump and asked Police Chief Ryan Layman whether the mobile speed machine collects data; Layman said he could perform a traffic study.
Council members said they will use the data to assess future traffic-calming measures. No timetable for the traffic study was provided during the meeting.
