Speed Hump

No... it is not something that occurs at the doggie park... or after a young adult activity......

After the Benz was totaled in front of the house, we applied for a speed bump to be installed on our street to slow down traffic. Upon requesting the application, we were informed it is a "Speed Hump" not a "Speed Bump". (And we weren't so sure we wanted one of those in front of our house. ) Dan got signatures from 90% of the neighbors on the street in favor. Monday night was the hearing for the Traffic Commission. I went with the kids thinking we would be there max... an hour. We sat there for 2 hours. Then Dan came and relieved me so I could take the kids home and put them to bed. He was there 2 more hours. Even Emily (who is 8) pointed out on the way home that the "The guys kept asking the same questions over and over again and talking about the same thing over and over again". Proving once again how inefficient government is... on so many levels. ....Four Hours Later.....After hearing 2 pleas in favor and 2 opposed. The Commision denied the "Hump" but will put up more speed signs and paint (whatever that means). Hopefully whatever they do will slow down drivers. The guy that hit our car is being charged by the District Attorney for Criminal Reckless Driving. Dan has to testify at the end of this month at his trial.
