In Jamaica Plain, 13 speed bumps on Allandale Street were removed less than a month after being installed due to resident complaints about their height and number. Following concerns that the bumps were too high and not properly marked, State Representative Bill MacGregor and Councilor Ben Weber took action, leading to a city engineering review. The review confirmed the bumps slowed traffic excessively, prompting plans to install four new bumps spaced further apart to improve safety and effectiveness. The City aims to enhance safety for both vehicles and emergency responses to nearby facilities.
The City of Boston plans to replace the 13 removed speed bumps on Allandale Street with just four, following resident complaints and an engineering review.
Residents voiced concerns over the height of the speed bumps, with some worried about potential damage to their vehicles, prompting the City to act.
Following complaints, the City conducted an engineering review, concluding that the speed bumps were not effective and caused unsafe conditions for emergency vehicles.
The upcoming installation of four new bumps will be more strategically placed to improve traffic calming while addressing residents' safety concerns.
