The vote was 5 to 3.
Speed humps prevent marauding motorists from invading our neighborhoods.
Plain and simple speed humps slow down traffic. Voting in favor of the project were Councilmembers Phil Andrews, Berlage, Michael Subin, Marilyn Praisner, and Betty Ann Krahnke. Opposed were Councilmembers Blair Ewing, Steve Silverman, and Nancy Dacek. Because of the new criteria adopted by the Council last year, the number of new speed humps should be cut by 60 percent. The Council has also directed that new humps should be spaced at least 500 feet apart and built to a height of 3 inches, not 3.5 inches.
