2:45

Okay.

2:46

So Carter is one of those wide streets that lends itself to reckless and imprudent driving.

And so based on uh the outcry of the community, um, they would like to have speed humps installed to calm the flow of traffic.

4:50

Thank you.

Uh Board Bill 67 is a board bill that uh seeks to install speed humps on West Pine.

5:00

Uh this is a street that people approached me and asked me if we could get some speed humps on the street.

5:06

It's a very wide street uh and experiences a lot of speeding, and so uh I use a petition in the ward that I circulate uh or I have the resident go out and collect signatures.

5:18

It's a good way for neighbors to get to know each other and also share their desire for a speed hump.

5:23

So uh they collected the required amount of signatures, returned it to me, and now uh we're seeking to install these speed humps.

5:33

Thank you, Alderman.

5:34

5:36

We have none.

5:37

Okay.

Alderman Cox Antwee.
