Description
There is a paved alley that runs on the North side of the Carytown parking garage located between Sheppard and Colonial, bounded by Ellwood and West Cary St. Houses back onto this alley, and due to the fact that the alley is paved, cars frequently speed down that alley, causing a hazard to residents who are in the alley to put out trash, etc. I would like to request some sort of speed deterrent, like speed bumps, to be put in the alley to remediate this dangerous situation.

Mgmt team noted that a traffic study was conducted and concluded that due to low volumes and physical constraints, speeding in alleys is not considered to be of a continuous or consistently high level to warrant traffic calming measures such as as speed bumps. This request has been completed (CRS#20020915804).
