Resident asks for speed bumps, playgrounds and youth programs; mayor points to streets-department process

Chester City Council · August 13, 2026

Summary

A public commenter urged installation of speed bumps on Pennell Street, playgrounds, and a variety of youth activities; council said requests must go through the streets department and noted enforcement and signage as alternatives to speed bumps.

During public comment a resident delivered a rhythmic "rap o lution," asking council to install speed bumps on Pennell Street, create new playgrounds and spaces for youth activities, and launch gardening and arts programs. The speaker listed a wide range of proposed amenities and said such projects would create revenue and support youth programming.

Council responded that while requests to install traffic-calming measures are received frequently and considered, there is a formal process through the streets department for speed-bump requests. The mayor noted that enforcement and signage are other options, and staff asked residents to contact the streets department to initiate a formal request.
