Council discusses traffic 'toolkit' of speed signs, humps and enforcement
Summary
Councilors and staff discussed assembling a toolkit of measures to address speeding and winter parking — including movable speed signs (two deployable units noted as ~$9,000 each), targeted speed enforcement details, and trial speed humps or elevated crosswalks — and planned a public meeting to gather street-level input.
Councilors proposed compiling a neighborhood 'toolkit' of traffic- and pedestrian-safety measures: permanent and movable speed signs, targeted speed enforcement details near schools, trial speed humps and elevated crosswalks where appropriate, and stronger ticket-enforcement follow-up. Police leadership provided enforcement data for the winter season and staff said two movable speed-sign units remain available for deployment.
"We've got 30 tickets issued on Roman, 45 issued on Locust," the police chief reported when discussing winter enforcement statistics. Council members described the existing movable speed-sign inventory (two units at roughly $9,000 each) and suggested a phased approach—one street or ward per meeting—to prioritize locations and apply the toolkit strategically.
