I’m all for leaving the unauthorized speed bumps. People come around that curve too fast when you’re walking or children are out playing. At the very least the city should install new bumps in that area.

Ted, I bike that every day and agree that there is an issue, but if we continue to allow residents to take matters into their own hands and not address the problem through the appropriate channels, we have the potential to end up with a more dangerous situation and/or at the very least, a very unsightly one. Laws and Codes are in place for everyone to follow.

Place speed bumps along 79th st for the first three blocks where the road is narrow and unsafe for bikes and pedestrians. A bit of enforcement for speeding would help.Put up ,"your speed is,,," signs to help drivers be aware of their actual speed,

Speed bumps were authorized and installed some years ago. The intent is to provide safety for all. Please leave them.

C.D., you are saying that those small hard black and yellow speed bumps were authorized by the City of St. Petersburg?

Now that I look more closely, I don't know. City originally built the standard speed bumps.

TSO, I agree with you mostly as far as codes... but I could see that gentleman becoming exasperated by people taking that curve too fast while his children were out playing.. People seem to use Causeway South as a shortcut. Hopefully the city will do something.

Ted I totally empathize. I have had near death experiences riding up and down that street. But I still believe in the rule of law/code.

I am willing to join anyone who wants to “storm” city hall on this issue!!!!!

You don't buy a home next to TIA then complain about planes. Clearly, people will use this road as an alternative to the traffic light. A cursory though on this when buying a property would have made more sense than tossing tax dollars at a problem that should not exist. My 2 cents

Sure, people are going to use it as a shortcut... But it doesn’t mean they should drive like idiots. People live on this street.

Gary, you think that living on a street and complaining about excessive and illegal speed is akin to living next to TPA and complaining about planes?! You are comparing apples to radiators here. There is a problem that needs to be addressed. I don't live on 79th but the erratic and high speeds with which people drive down that road affect me when I bike. Should I only be allowed to live and bike where no one ever drives? No people should follow the law. . .and if they can't on their own, there should be mechanisms put in place to ensure that they do.

Vehicles are speeding around the corner using causeway blvd s. as a pass through during rush hour. At the end of the day when they come around the corner they are blinded by the setting sun. The combination of the road curve, speeding and setting sun are the perfect storm for fatality. This is a huge safety issue that needs addressing. There are active children living in at least three of the homes at this location and multiple other homes there that have regular visiting grandchildren.

I’m 100% with AJS.. The safety of pedestrians comes first.

I agree. All traffic needs to be controlled.

The neighborhood association has agreed that a new petition should be circulated to determine if there can be agreement to have an additional speed hump installed between the existing one and the curve. A resident has volunteered to circulate the petition and should we achieve a 66% approval, we would request that the association approve an amend to their Traffic Plan.

Thanks for fixing this request!

I will gladly sign that.
