Speed Hump Message Provided by West Roxbury Neighborhood Liaison Ben Tayag:

 

Please see below the plan for speed hump placements in Bellevue Hill.

 

What I need you all to do is let me know if you would like speed humps on your street.

 

Over the last year I have heard from many of you about wanting speed humps on certain streets. 

​

Some background:

The transportation department designs for entire zones rather than specific streets. Their logic behind the design is this: placing speed humps on one street and not others in the same area will push the traffic (and speeding) to adjacent streets. Placing speed humps on all streets across the area mitigates this problem. Please keep this in mind as you consider the impacts of speed humps on your street and other streets in this area. 

 

My department's new role in this is to identify the specific streets where speed humps are desired, where they are not, and where they will not work (IE dead end streets, slopes). ​​
