Residents renew call for speed humps on West Romero after rollovers
Summary
Residents told the Taos County Commission that repeated crashes and two rollovers at the West Romero/Calle Angelo corner require three speed humps; commissioners were asked to review the packet of evidence submitted by neighbors.
Kevin Wolf and Georgiana Martinez Montoya pressed the Taos County Commission to install speed bumps on West Romero/Calle Angelo, saying previous devices have failed to stop dangerous speeding. Kevin Wolf said he has witnessed rollovers and property damage and that "We need speed bumps there," and he urged commissioners to review the packet of maps and photographs the neighborhood provided.
Georgiana Martinez Montoya said this is the community's second formal request in five years and described a near-fatal incident that hit her grandchildren's gate. She proposed three speed humps for the short stretch and noted that other nearby streets already have humps; she asked the commission to act because residents have shouldered repair costs after crashes. The matter was raised during public comment; no formal county action was recorded at this meeting and commissioners did not commit to a specific timeline for an engineering review.
