Hi Kim,
Other people in the past have asked about speed bumps.  The Waterford Home Owners Association asked the city about that project at a WHOA meeting about two years ago.  
It was explained to us that the city had tried to work with different communities that were requesting speed bumps and had spent time and money to that end and then when the speed bumps were approved by the city, other neighbors angrily opposed the speed bumps and said that they were not  consulted.  The city decided to take the position that, a high percentage (I don't remember the number) of the entire neighborhood would have to sign a petition for the speed bumps in order for the city to even consider doing the work to investigate putting speed bumps in.
It was also mentioned that people ran over the yards of the neighbors who lived next to the speed bumps, damaging their yards.  Also, some people commented that they do not want speed bumps in our neighborhood.
There was a lot more information given at the time.  Because of access for emergency vehicles, some streets cannot have speed bumps.  That may be what one of the emailers was referring to about 28th Ave and 15th Street.  By the time the city got through explaining everything, we decided not to go forward. 
I hope this information helps you to understand the situation.

Over the weekend many of the young boys have been fishing at the bridge on SW 28th Ave. Cars fly over that bridge at unheard of speeds and are putting them in danger. Not to mention the children that play all along that road and at the park at the end of that road.  Can anyone tell me how we can petition to put speed bumps along that road or at least on both sides of the bridge? 
Thanks!
 
Kim
