It was closed 60 days ago because of concerns about the safety of children. The drive cuts through the Southmost park and passes in front of the club entrance as it connects Carolina and East 28th streets. The curve makes it difficult for cars to see children that may be dashing out of the club. The Brownsville City Commission decided to open the drive with four speed humps to slow down traffic.
Speed humps are the wider version of speed bumps.
The humps are painted with white stripes. Posted signs warn motorists about the traffic devices. The commission was presented a petition with 194 signatures of area residents asking for the drive to be re-opened because it was causing traffic congestion in the neighborhood. The traffic will not go away, it will get worse. The commission asked the city s public works department to look into the possibility of rerouting the drive elsewhere in the park area.
