Subject:Sydney St Speed Bump addition
Hello Council,
I am writing to voice my support for the addition of a speed bump to Sydney St between Johnson and
Augusta, which will be discussed in your upcoming meeting tomorrow, Tuesday May 5, as part of item
7.b on the agenda. I have lived on this block, at 1404 Sydney St, since 2010 and cars consistently have
sped down this block at unsafe speeds for the entire time I've lived here. In fact, requesting a speed
bump here has been a frequent topic of discussion over the years and I am embarrassed to admit that
I've never made the request myself. I am, however, very happy to learn that it is on the agenda, as it is a
much needed safety improvement to the street. I have a 3 1/2 year old little girl, and 9 month old little
boy, and it would mean a great deal to me, and give me comfort to know efforts are being made to slow
down traffic on our block to a reasonable speed for our neighborhood environment. Additionally, as is
noted in the agenda, this block is the main artery feeding Sinsheimer Elementary School, and as such we
have a great deal of children walking on this path every week day. I think it is absolutely imperitive that
this speed bump get installed as quickly as possible to bring the incessant speeding under control.
Please vote in support of the staff's recommendation to add the speed bump to Sydney St between
Johnson and Augusta.
Thank you for your consideration,
