Homework Assignment #1

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

There are currently a total of 77 speed bumps installed on 17 streets in the City. Those 77 speed bumps cost the taxpayers approximately $115,000. As a disclaimer, I am unaware of any citizens having paid for their own. Click here to view detailed location maps for every speed bump in the City. Please be patient for the file to download, as it is a fairly large file. Your homework assignment is to drive the streets where these bumps are located and report back to me if you think they have been a bad investment. While you are out and about be sure to visit with residents that actually live on the streets where the bumps are located to get their thoughts.  I’ll bet you they love ‘em.

Once last thought…. What if the City were to budget $60,000 a year for speed bumps? Yeah sure, we would have a lot of irate speeders but they would be driving a whole lot slower.  That wouldn’t be a bad thing would it?
