Resident urges speed bumps after counting thousands of cut‑through cars
Summary
A St. George resident told the council his neighborhood is being used as a cut‑through and requested physical speed bumps after a short traffic count suggested up to about 3,000 cars per day; staff offered to have public‑works and police staff follow up.
Cordell Stevens told the council he has long raised safety concerns about drivers using his residential street to dodge signalized intersections and presented a hand‑drawn map of problem locations. Stevens said a short five‑minute count on a Saturday recorded 10 cars, which he extrapolated to roughly 3,000 cars per day and argued that speed trailers and crash reports understate the problem.
The council suggested staff follow up. S2 told Stevens to "get with Cameron and maybe even the chief" so staff and police could reach out, and staff agreed to be in contact about options short of immediate physical changes.
