Select Board delays decision on replacing Cochrane Road speed humps with speed tables
Summary
After public feedback and board review, the Select Board agreed to continue discussion of replacing Cochrane Road speed humps with speed tables and to collect more data and consider pedestrian alternatives before making a decision.
The Richmond Select Board declined to take immediate action on a request to replace Cochrane Road speed humps with speed tables and instead agreed to continue collecting data and exploring alternatives to protect pedestrians. Several board members said they had received more public submissions opposing removal and would prefer more evidence and pedestrian‑safety measures in place before making changes.
Select Board member Caitlin (speaker 5) summarized the position: "At this point, it's the only measure that is slowing speed down in places where pedestrians are walking." Members suggested revisiting the topic after additional data collection, potential deployment of radar feedback signage and grant exploration; they discussed setting an approximate review window (late winter) but left the exact revisit date open. No formal change was made to the speed‑hump configuration at this meeting.
