so, eliminate a traffic calming measure proven to lower average speeds by 18% and replace it with one in a city where we can barely get every corner to be wheelchair accessible. you hit the nail on the head champ.

Big Oil has been lobbying against pedestrian rights for far too long. i can forgive... but i will never forget. Big oil has taken humanity away from the humans.

oh god, the idea of this is making me break out into hives.
So, it would probably be good for me is what I'm saying. Cheaper than therapy.

I'd suggest changing the curbs in that area so that they're 90 degree angles. Doyle & N Main, Olney & N Main, etc.
When you have curved curbs, people go super fast when turning.

I've had largely the opposite experience, speed bumps on a larger parallel street has caused faster moving traffic on my street. Definitely not a one size fit all for the city.

If it was about pedestrian and community safety, they would have put them in the road that runs through chad brown… think about that one.

I can straddle the speed humps in my Golf and get through them without slowing down much or really feeling anything more than a slight raise. If a Golf can do it, pretty much any car can, it isn't just the oversized vehicles

My house has been hit twice, and my neighbors house once by cars speeding on a curve and losing control of their vehicle. After they put the bumps on the curve a few years ago, never again

People absolutely do this, but it's not any noisier than when they were going 40+ on a residential side street.

Do you notice much extra noise from people re-accelerating after each hump?

They have slowed cars down in our neighborhood for sure. Not everything but it’s part of the solution and bike lanes, and cameras and noise cameras and raised side walks etc etc… feels like lots of small things make the big difference, over time.

Most US cities could care less about pedestrians and biking safety, unfortunately. Cars rules.

Ha, yep, these actually tend to sell out in advance— we have 35 folks on the guest list so far so you’d be in good company. The people who show up tend to be in their 20’s-30’s but people of all ages are enthusiastically welcome!

An unbelievable lack of common sense as well as an unfamiliarity with the area being discussed.
Do you geniuses understand that there's a fire house a block away? And you want to put in speed bumps??
