Petition for speed humps at North Winter advances; board to seek engineer input
Summary
Residents petitioned for two speed humps on North Winter by Mississippi Park. Trustees said a professional engineer and insurance review are needed before any installation; temporary rubber humps were discussed as an interim test.
Residents presented a petition requesting two speed humps on North Winter near Mississippi Park and several residents argued temporary measures have already produced mixed results. The chair outlined different hump types, noting two temporary rubber speed humps cost roughly $8,000–$9,000 and full-width 'speed tables' are commonly 7–14 feet wide; trustees said spacing and placement must be determined by an engineer.
Several trustees and staff raised concerns about insurance and engineers' hesitancy for particular locations. The board agreed to solicit outside engineering reports and pricing and said no installations will proceed without professional sign-off and a transparent engineer report for the public record.
