Council approves one temporary speed bump in Quarterdeck after speed study
Summary
Following a police speed study showing most drivers travel around 20 mph, River Bend council approved placement of one temporary speed bump on Quarterdeck Road; the motion passed 4–1 with Councilman Sheffield opposed.
The Town Council responded to a request from the Quarterdeck Homeowners Association for traffic calming. The Town Manager reported the police department completed a speed study and "the data shows that a majority of the drivers travel about 20 miles per hour or less." After discussion the council agreed to install one temporary speed bump on Quarterdeck Road.
Councilman Brian Leonard moved to approve placement of a single speed bump; the motion passed with four affirmative votes and one dissent from Councilman Buddy Sheffield. Council did not set a permanent timeline at the meeting; staff will schedule the temporary installation and monitor traffic data and resident feedback to determine whether a permanent measure is warranted.
