The 11th St. overpass desperately needs speed humps to control speed. This stretch of road sees constant reckless driving throughout the day and night from drivers who know that the area is not being monitored by traffic enforcement. My apartment looks down onto the roadway from where I observe drag racing and astonishing disregard for safety from drivers doing 3 - 4 times the posted speed limit of 25 mph. Last night I observed the same three vehicles return to the roadway 5 or 6 times to use it for drag racing.
Aside from the obvious risk to public safety the excessive speeding also creates a great deal of noise from drivers revving their engines to obtain high speeds over a short distance.
A few speed humps are an effective low cost solution to bring this situation under control.

I appreciate and applaud the city's efforts to work towards long-term solutions to calm traffic and make our city safer. I am with you 100% on reasonable measures to increase the safety on our roads. However, I cannot stress enough the urgency of the situation on the 11th St. overpass. We aren't talking about a few vehicles a day slightly exceeding the speed limit. We are talking about many drivers throughout the day and night displaying an astonishing disregard to safety. I routinely observe drivers of high performance vehicles reaching speeds of over 100 mph on this stretch of road, most often in the evening hours although reckless driving occurs throughout the day.
I ask that while the city considers long-term solutions to this and other traffic issues, we work towards a temporary solution to help bring this situation under control. Is it possible to post a patrol or a traffic unit in this area to monitor speed?

After careful evaluation of the request, our office's determination is that traffic calming measures are not necessary on this roadway at this time. Specifically, our crash research shows that there have been no major crashes in the past 18 years (which is the full extent of our records).
Please also note that one of the actions in our recently completed Vision Zero action plan is the development of a more comprehensive traffic calming manual. That is still being drafted, but once complete constituents will be able to submit petitions for traffic calming measures other than speed humps, which are not appropriate on this roadway due to traffic volume thresholds.
