Resident asks Merriam to remove 'calming curves' on Goodman and Hardee streets
Summary
Raymond Delgado told the council he and neighbors submitted a petition to remove speed humps ('calming curves') on Goodman (Johnson Drive to 54th) and Hardee, saying large vehicles cross into oncoming lanes and the humps create safety risks; staff said the public works director will follow up.
At the start of the meeting, resident Raymond Delgado told the council he and his neighbors want several street 'calming curves' removed and the street profile straightened on Goodman (from Johnson Drive to 54th) and Hardee. Delgado said he would submit video evidence of vehicles — including city vehicles — crossing lane lines when navigating the curves and that his neighbors signed a petition asking for the changes. "The street should be straightened out," Delgado said in public comment.
Mayor Bob Pape responded that the public comment period is not interactive but that the city’s public works director is looking into the matter and will follow up with Delgado. The city did not take action during the meeting; staff indicated they will investigate and contact the resident with an update.
