SPEED HUMPS – NEIL FITZGERALD
Neil Fitzgerald addressed the council and said that he was glad the city put down the speed humps but that he had a suggestion. He said at night the reflectors do well but in the afternoon there is one on Dixie Highway that looks like a shadow. He said if you paint the whole hump they would be more visible. He said the price to do all of them would be $586.00. Brenda Thompson stated if it was only one on Dixie with the problem why he would want all of them painted. He said it is just a suggestion. He said some of the humps have skid marks where people are slamming on brakes. Chad Cook said if they are leaving marks then they are going too fast in the first place. James Bratcher said
when we have to repaint the yellow lines in the road we can look at outlining the white arrows on the speed humps at that time. Mayor Knight said when we repaint the arrows if it is legal to use the yellow we can do it at that time. Chad Cook stated people just don’t like speed humps. He said I have no problem with outlining the arrows but we need to wait until it is time to repaint them.
Bill Spann made motion to adjourn at 7:15pm. Brenda Thompson seconded, all voted in favor and motion carried.
