Description
Hello,
Bond Street has become a race track. Cars fly down the street and I have almost got hit. Plus very dangerous to back out of a driveway. Could speed bumps please be put in? I would rather deal with those than have a disaster. Thank you

Unfortunately, speed bumps are not an option. Municipalities are moving away from speed bumps and here are a few of the reasons:
Speed bumps are expensive to install and expensive to maintain—Speed bumps can cost $4,500 to $7,500.
They can interfere with response times of emergency vehicles—Each speed bump costs fire trucks ten seconds in response time.
Reduce property values—Prospective homebuyers reject home sites near speed bumps.
Increase noise levels—Speed bumps usher in a constant barrage of scraping cars and engines revving over the bumps.
We can certainly review the signage in the area.
