Resident urges trustees to add speed bumps on Lombardi Boulevard; trustees cite traffic-study approach
Summary
Resident Morris Natalie pressed trustees to place speed humps at a blind curve on Lombardi Boulevard, calling the block "the most dangerous section"; trustees and staff defended placement at intersections based on a traffic survey and said the project budget is roughly $151,600.
Morris Natalie told the Board she has lived on Lombardi Boulevard for 27 years and urged that one of the planned speed humps be placed on the curve near her house, calling the stretch "the most dangerous section of that most dangerous block." She said she was told the village would not place a hump on her section and questioned the legality of post-approval changes to the placement plan.
Trustees and staff replied that the current plan focuses on intersection approaches to slow through traffic, citing a traffic survey that recorded about 5,000 vehicles on North Windsor and more than 600 on some Lombardi blocks. Officials said the package of humps cost approximately $151,600 and that crews would conduct another site walk before finalizing exact locations; they also said adding a seventh hump was possible if needed.
