I live off a dead end street (Cadillac Dr) and somehow the residents on that street were able to vote for speed humps and they got installed. Since I live off of the street that the humps were installed, I never got to actually vote on them. I don't understand how a dead end road can get them but with a high volume of traffic can't.

Wow, for $14,200 i'll be glad to slow traffic in your neighborhood. I'll rent a 24ft. U-Haul with a ramp. Or I could rent a tree shredder and some orange cones. How about a bunch of xerox'd cash blowing in the wind or a topless grandma making balloon animals. There's a bunch of ways there to slow traffic for 14 grand.

it's called CORRUPTION. Nothing less nothing more. It is at ALL levels, that's why nobody questions it. It takes the form of direct kickbacks to campaign contributions.

I don't have a problem with speed humps being installed anywhere, but there is no way they should cost that much, unless there are some shadey contracts being written. proudnative, if driving over the speed humps cost you thousands, then you might want to slow down. That's why they are there. :)

People in this city should question why EVERYTHING that the public works dept. uses/repairs/replaces costs as much as it does. We are talking about $150 screwdrivers. Amazing. If your drunken outing ends with a telephone pole folded over your hood get ready to spend into the $8,ooo range to have it replaced. I know that's a bad example because in that situation we don't mind when drunks have to pay to repair city assets. But if the wind knocks it down, then we all have to pay for the fix. Anyways, if ever there is an installation or a building that need to be built, get ready to be taken for a ride on the $$$.

I can sum it up in one word. Nepotism Here is a link to purchase speed humps for under $500.00.http://www.speedbumpsandhumps.com/products/speed-bumps-and-speed-humps/Superior-Speed-Hump.cfm?kwd=&utm_origin=product-listing-ad&gdftrk=gdfV23547_a_7c1704_a_7c7436_a_7c3ZC3294&gclid=CPrmxO6ip7UCFeZ_QgodxQEAUQ

Speed humps akin to quickies are a major contributing factor to unplanned pregnancies. Call them what they really are.

Speed Control on the thrifty side. Take the traffic statistics and figure out the time that the speeders violate. Station an officer with radar or put out a DME trap and get the license number of the offender. Take the offender before a judge immediately (because he officers cover is blown and speedy trial). Relieve the offenders wallet of the fine. Second trip means the offender has to bring his insurance agent with him. The third offence would require the offenders supervisor the get them out of jail. I think the offender would speedily ammend his actions.

I agree have the developers pay the cost of speed bumps ,lets see if our city is listening ,and heeds this.its only fair

Speed bumps do indeed cost thousands .... to the poor souls who have to navigate them every day!!!!! They DO NOT slow down idiots ... they do not care and actually "PLAY" with the stupid things. All they do is put on a "show" of traffic control while freeing up police for other duties. The damage they cause should be borne by the proponents of the road hazards. I was told that I could not have the ones by my home removed without a 2/3 majority of my neighbors.... then when I got that majority to sign on, I was told the speed mountain was "necessary" in the eyes of local authorities!!!! If you agree with me about these road hazards .... then let's take up the protest started in California! EVERY time you have to navigate over one, do so while continually honking!!!!
