decided that the speed bumps and signs would be going in. She said that the traffic safety web site
suggests no speed bumps.
Tony Alarcon, asked about garages in the Johnson area, and speed humps. He said that he favored
the humps but not the bulb outs and spoke of other traffic safety options on the lower portion of the
street. He noted that secondary units will have no parking with the proposed program.
Marc Jensen, noted that children are significantly less likely to be hit on a street with speed
bumps.

safety issues of this fact.
John Curtis, Public Works Director, noted that the proposal would be tested in place for 3 months
and then be evaluated. Information will be given to the residents and others who express an
interest. A review of secondary units on Johnson will be done to address the problem of excessive
parking. The speed humps will be well marked and speed will be reduced to 20 mph.
