St. Louis County outlines pilot speed‑hump program for subdivisions
Summary
County transportation staff described a pilot program to install speed humps in selected unincorporated subdivisions, explained how candidate streets were scored and invited residents to take a survey; construction is expected to start in spring 2027, subject to bids and County Council approvals.
St. Louis County transportation staff on the project team presented a pilot plan to install speed humps on selected subdivision streets to reduce speeding and improve safety.
Misty Bell, transportation development analyst for St. Louis County, opened the online session and introduced the team, then Glenn Henninger, division manager for project development, described the county’s focus for this pilot: "Speed humps are what we are going to concentrate on." Betty Tes Fu, the project manager, said the primary goal is "to reduce speeding and improve the safety for drivers, pedestrians and all roadway users."
The county is treating the work as a pilot funded in part from a portion of a 2024–25 NFL settlement dedicated by the St. Louis County Council for subdivision resurfacing and safety. Staff emphasized this package will test whether the measure is effective before the county pursues a permanent program. John Shrewsbury, with the transportation and public works department, urged residents to complete an online survey (a QR code/link was provided during the meeting) so staff can refine the final list of candidate streets.
