Resident urges removal of neighborhood "calming curves," offers video evidence
Summary
Raymond Delgado told the Merriam City Council that residents petitioned to remove ‘calming curves’ on Goodman and Hardee streets after drivers (including large vehicles) cross lines and a speed hump was recently removed; he offered to submit video evidence and asked for a status update.
Raymond Delgado, a Merriam resident, told the council he and his neighbors have petitioned to remove traffic calming curves on Goodman (from Johnson Drive to 54th) and a section of Hardee, saying drivers—including large vehicles—regularly cross into opposing lanes. “I’m prepared to submit video of people that just do not pay any attention to what they’re doing,” Delgado said, and asked the city for a status update on the petition and any planned changes.
Mayor Bob Pape acknowledged the concern, said public works and city staff are looking into the matter, and reminded attendees that the five-minute public-comment period is not interactive. The mayor said the public works director will follow up with Delgado to provide a status update.
