The speed bumps are obnoxious, completely inefficient and the selfish act of a few short sighted individuals. The negative impacts are many, I am sure the individuals involved never discussed or cared about possible negative impacts. I am sure they did not have a back up plan to remove them if something went wrong. This is how liberty is taken away from you. Government puts this **** in place and then people forget about the time before it was completely ****ed and accept completely ****ed as normal. I wont forget, I am angry at the shear stupidity and ignorance and don't intend to live with it. Neither should anyone else have to live with it. I would like any of the pro-speed bump people to actually respond to any of my posts without bringing up the old president(again I don't care.) I am sure at this point they might be reading and if they are human having some minor regrets nagging at their heart, of course their instinct will be to continue fighting though they are wrong. The president could do a lot to clear here name by undoing this action without the rest of us having to fight her. Then maybe we can forget about the coincidence of a park and speedbumps going in to benefit herself. Or the stupidity and selfish ignorance can continue and I will become a very motivated person. VERY MOTIVATED. Might be easier to get the president changed then the speed bumps, and I will go that way if I have to. Do the right thing, admit you are wrong and suck it up. If not, at least present any decent argument or it will make my job much easier.
afwjam - you have already heard from her. She has replied on this thread as "GrayCat". There is no remorse for the others that have been impacted by this decision. No traffic studies were done. No polling of the community was done. 75% of the people who own property on that street said Yes and everyone else who owns and/or uses that road has to live with it.
The worst part...now HSCA owns the speed bumps. If they are found faulty somehow and cause an accident, guess who gets sued! [V]
