One thing I <br />don't see addressed is City installed SPEED BUMPS or SPEED HUMPS on unimproved streets that does not <br />have curbs and gutter, shoulders and/or sidewalk. On these streets people in wheelchairs, on bikes, or <br />walking have to use the street paving for access. With the SPEED BUMPS, they create barriers that are <br />impassable and very dangerous while wheelchairs have to travel out in the middle of the street trying to,eross <br />over the humps and dodge traffic. Most of the time a wheelchair need to back up,over the bumps placing <br />their back to traffic. Not a good situation. Any plan needs to include removal or provisions for a way to go <br />around them. Either installing sidewalks of turnouts or just plain removing the bump barriers altogether. <br />Are there any public hearings or meetings so people can voice their concerns? If so when and where. If <br />not, why not? Please give me an answer before your May 31st deadline for comments. <br />You can reach me at this e-mail address or by calling me at . <br />R. P. Langan. <br />
