Description
We need speed bumps from Euclid past Beyers on O'Connor St. We are a bike path and a school zone. Traffic can reach 3 times the posted speed limit. A cat was run over last Thursday. There have been several near misses with children and adults walking and biking. The Woodland Park apartments overflow/dropoff parking during day and night can complicate vision for pedestrians. The lack of speed bumps and general disrepair of the road at the top of O'Connor has become dangerous.

I would also like to see something done. The entire Willows subdivision have been repaved and new speed bumps have been installed. OConnor Street is the in disrepair and fixing pit holes only a stop gap measure, why can’t it get repaved like the others?
Also, I agree something needs to be done about the speeding on O’Connor. I am not sure what can be done, but it is amazing that people either speed up to the stop sign (At Euclid) or floor it from that stop sign.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of more speed bumps as I think the visual calming approaches reach similar statistical results with less car and driver abuse than the bumps. The data is pretty good on visually narrower roads and other tricks to reduce the 'freeway mentality' of a broad boulevard work well. But too many cars parked everywhere including at corners and driveway entrances are making for double danger of low visibility and speeding.
Standing by for engineer input.
