Eventually drivers will learn to stop speeding here.

It is not speeding when you come to a stop with a very low car and it still scrapes. that means it is too high. I fear the fire engines racing to a call as well hitting that .

Lower cars going slowly/ at or below the speed limit do indeed scrape. This includes many sedans and a lot of minivans with a lower front grille. Trucks, unfortunately, are higher up and continue to just barrel over it and then are noisy bouncing when they “land.” Sometimes we are additionally treated to a squealing of brakes and then the scrape. I’m all for the safety and slower traffic (there used to be a lot of speeding), but the scraping and noise is a nuisance.
Again, at the public meetings, this issue was raised and we were assured it would be not a speed bump, but a raised crosswalk. Instead it has a “bump” warning sign and arrows on the pavement. (In writing this 2 cars have scraped by.)

I agree that the raised crosswalk is too high. I walk by that spot almost every day and practically always see and hear a car banging its front end against the blacktop when driving towards Garden street. The
City should not be in the business of damaging someone's car to make some sort of a point.

This one definitely scrapes more cars than most of the other raised crossings do, but my aftermarket lowered car has no trouble getting over it if I go slowly. My other car has no trouble at the speed limit of 25mph. Perhaps it is just schadenfreude on my part, but I do derive some joy from seeing a minimum of 2 cars every day hit the jump at 40mph and get at least two wheels fully airborne.

That said, I do generally detest speed bumps. They rarely have much impact beyond the 50ft or so where people slow for the bump. This particular one is a poor substitute for having an actual officer do his job, and the cost to the city is similar for either option (perhaps even less expensive to have a policeman do some police things for once given the revenue that would be generated).

Since we're never going to have a police department that does any type of traffic enforcement whatsoever, this raised crossing is about as good as we're going to get.

I also initially got some pleasure when speeders “learned their lesson” but after all these months, I’m tired of the constant noise. In summer it will be markedly less pleasant to be outside and have windows open when conversation is punctuated with a loud scrape every few minutes. Just heard one...

And another one...

Nothing has changed.

Still no change to this. There is debris in the road today from another car who hit too fast. At what point do we realize that the speed bump has failed and is just a nuisance to the neighbors? It was meant to be a raised crosswalk, not a speed bump. And the angle, construction and placement of it are ineffective and even dangerous. Cars parked near it have been hit multiple times and the neighbors are hearing nothing but scraping and crashing day and night. They city has taken no action at all. The bump needs to go away or be reconfigured significantly.

Still no change or response from City. Neighbors have confirmed that the bump was built steeper than specified in construction and still no one has addressed this. It’s a nuisance and hazard. Who is the proper person to contact to get this revised and built to the correct (less steep) specifications?

How is it that it’s almost 3 years and built wrong and no one noticed (despite complaints) and now that they know nothing has changed or even been acknowledged?
