I will bring this to the attention of the Board of Selectmen. Thank you

Speeding continues to be a serious issue on Park Street. Removal of the speed bump will only encourage drivers to continue to drive at high rates of speed on this road.

There will be a public hearing on the topic at the Board of Selectman's meeting June 7th. The Board of Selectman's meeting starts at 7pm in the Hearing Room at Town Hall. 35 Central St, Stoneham. Please join and express your options about the Park Street speed bump. It is very important to get your input, Thank you.

I live right near that speedbump..It's a good idea since many of the 'cut through' out of town people think its a speedway...Should be a couple of more on that street.. In face they should put a couple on Rt. 93 also !...Since everyone believes the speed limit is 95...MPH... except when the yuppies are on their cell phone; then they drive about 35 MPH in the 'passing lane...!

This needs a 'public meeting.?.. Just make a decision as a 'Board of Leadership'.. that it is 'good' to be there . THAT is the 'HEARING'... we 'like to and voted for to 'HEAR'...Sort of like 'Public Drinking'...against a By Law - which the WRITERS of it just said........'NO'.

I live near the speed bump too. Why the town would use resources to REMOVE it is beyond me. The OP can't be serious that it has caused accidents... how can a speed bump cause accidents unless the drivers are being irresponsible/illegal with their driving? There is a huge speeding problem on Park Street, with both commuters cutting through and locals who use it as a drag strip and the speed bump as a jump which happens daily. Let's leave the bump, even make it bigger. Or post some police patrols to pull people over (those 30+ over tickets would bring in some good/easy revenue!). Or maybe we can cut the street in half to make 2 dead ends, that would be just fine with me...

Selectwoman Colarusso apparently noted in a January 2016 BoS meeting that "the feedback is that this bump should be removed". I'm not sure whose feedback she solicited because ourselves and our neighbors we were never asked for our thoughts and i assure you they would have been drastically different than saying it should be removed.

this is a huge fail by the town and i hope that it is remedied before the DPW makes their way over, without notice to neighbors presumably, to jackhammer it out.

I have no idea where Selectperson Colarusso is getting the 'remove' the speedbump input. Whoever it was most likely needs a prescription for Tranquilizers. My God most shopping centers have them for cars going only 5 to 10 MPH. ! Should we removed the 'Bump Outs' all down Franklin Street ?....We have many little and school children on that area of Park Street and all Ms. Colarusso from our 'speedy' citizens is 'I want to go faster !'....I suggest 'Medical and/or Psychological Treatment first...Kids are far more important than 'Neurosis'....

This is a reminder that there is a public hearing on the topic today at 7pm in town hall. In the hearing room at 35 Central Street. If you have comments, please join the meeting.

And what 'Idiot' proposed 'removing' it ?...Can't the Selectmen get 'any' correspondence from the Police Dept. on 'Any' issue any more ?... Alcohol for the Food Trucks ? NO.... Expanded Alcohol for 'next time'.. NO... Wine Tasting for Market.. NO... And on a Street Safety Issue... NO !...
On Every Site Plan... you wont' entertain approval until 'every Board and Dept. 'signs off'... Then when a "Nervous ' in a Hurry' Neurotic cannot stand to slow down for a few seconds on a dangerous street, you 'have to' entertain a 'Public Hearing'....What is wrong with you people.. ?.. I am asking the 'proponent' to withdraw this hearing ...now.. Lest possible embarrasing remarks come later... Or perhaps he or she can get some treatment for the 'Anxiety' Condition ?....

I have just called the Safety Officer's Number... to chime in on this. ( as he should!!! )...The Police Chief may be a 'nice' thing to do also ?...You know. Just out of 'respect ?'....

I own 74 park st and did not leave the original message.

Pretty soon.. we'll be having public hearings with 'Selectmen Only' to remove all the Red Lights in Town !.. No one wants to be 'inconvenienced' !....I live about 60 yards away... and I want that 'there' If they remove it.. I'll 'personally put another one up !.... I hear about people losing 'parts'.. Good !! ... .Next time they'll 'know' it's there.. !...I hear... 'Well, I 'can't walk on the sidewalk..with that 'bump'..I mailed four letters yesterday... No problem on the left.. where 'dirt is'. If I did not like to do that.. Guess What ?.. I crossed over to the Right !...( which I had to do anyway... COLOR THE 'Warning ' Speedbump 'PINK..!... Maybe they'll see it...!....So what's next.. 'Yellow Lights' ? ' Red Lights'... People walking too slow in front of you ?..What ?...Park Street and others are becoming 'Raceways'...I only hope that someone who travels from Maple Street to Park does not try and get cost estimates to remove 'the Hill'.. that is there !.....I believe 'Prozac' may be cheaper... !

Looks like the speedbump is coming out today... there is an asphalt cutting truck there now. So much for the selectmen listening to anything the residents (aside from their buddies) have to say. I hope there is a better solutiin to control speeding in the works aside from having an officer sitting down the road on weekends when it is not as much of an issue.

Now let them put the speed box back in and see what the new average speed is. With the speed bump they said it was 28 MPH. It will be 40 now. They didn't want to spend 2000 to have another one installed. One just isn't cutting enough. Expecially since it was installed so the snowplows wouldn't catch it.

When did the Selectmen vote to take it out and who voted for it.. ?...I bet they can find $ 2,000 for Overtime pay or to pay the Policemen the highest MWRA Details in the State.which we pay and absorb on our water bills...If I see a pedestrian hitting a kid in that neighborhood , I'll kick in the same $ 2000 to begin a lawsuit against all Selectmen who voted against this needed apparatus.. If they needed $ 2,000 to promote more LIQUOR in this town and on Town Property... you know this 'Alcoholic' infatuated Board would vote for it !....

The 'Accidents' which were 'caused by the 'Speedbump'.. were 'caused ' by Neurosis of the people who don't want to be held up for a few seconds in their lives !...What they need is a 'Counselor'....not the removal of a Speed Bump. They could at least consider the 'other children' and people who live 'near' that speedbump.. The person who expressed concern of this Bump lives about a quarter of a mile away from it...!....Slow Down..!! You'll live longer. !...And if you hit a kid with your vehicle in our neighborhood , that may not be true..

As of the June 7, 2016 BOS meeting this issue was "paused" until further study by Police and DPW. When was a final decision made on this matter? The speed bump is (was) at the end of my driveway and I was never notified. Furthermore, as the parent of a small child I think it is a shame that the BOS and town of Stoneham care little for the safety of our youngest citizens and couldn't be bothered to fix the speed bump and sidewalks effectively to discourage excessive speeding on Park Street. Selectwoman Colarusso repeatedly said in the meeting that she didn't want to be responsible for someone being injured as a result of keeping the speed bump. I wonder if she will feel responsible for any injuries that occur as the result of cars travelling at excessive speeds down the street once the bump is removed.

Call the town hall or the dpw and let them know that no letter went out for the meeting. And people would like to voice there opinion. We need more speed bumps and one's that are constructed properly. If we can get enuff calls than maybe they will listen. I would like to see more go in to slow and dature cut through.

well, the speedbump came out today. Already speeds are picking up. I watched people slow down, notice it wasnt there and hit the gas. What an embarassment. My only hope is that the PD/BoS have a plan to address the speeding but i'm not holding my breath

They removed the 'speed bump'... Did that take the same amount of time to take away those ragged old stairs at Little League Park ?....
