Description

We are very pleased by the arrival of the new speed bump this week. Thank you. However several neighbors have commented that the speed bump is two low and that it should completely cross the road rather than covering just the center. I've seen several cars with good suspensions hit the bump traveling at close to 50mph (speed limit is 25mph) and not bottoming out their suspension. I'm not kidding, 50mph. In addition non-resident drivers are maneuvering at high speed around the bump if the parking spaces on either side are not occupied.

A speed bump the size of the ones on St. Pauls Ave between JFK and 139 seems to me to be the right idea. They are high enough and wide enough to discourage miscreant drivers.

We have at least three families with small children immediately past the speed bump and the large number of short-cut-seeking speeders coming through are a grave danger to their safety as well as an overall menace to the neighborhood.
