Council amends speed‑bump policy, creates appeals path and pilot timeline
Summary
Resolution 2025-33 passed unanimously to refine speed‑bump eligibility, allow residents to request installations and establish an appeal to the borough engineer; committee members suggested a two‑to‑three‑year pilot assessment period.
Council on Aug. 21 adopted Resolution 2025-33 amending the borough's speed‑bump policy to clarify eligibility criteria for streets and to add procedural steps for resident requests and appeals. The amendment allows residents to submit accident or vehicle‑damage data to request a temporary or permanent speed control measure and gives the borough engineer authority to review denials on appeal.
Council Member Trey Herman, sponsor of the motion, said the committee had not previously established a formal pilot length; when asked about timing he recommended “two to three years I would say.” The change is intended to give residents more formal channels to request traffic calming while allowing the borough to reassess impacts over a defined period.
Council approved the amendment by voice vote with no recorded opposition and will monitor implementation through the transportation committee.
