[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s what the CBR-UT Preservation Committee wants you to believe. Those of us personally involved in this issue know that the leaders have been privately (and, sometimes reluctantly, publicly) pushing for this closure for years. They’ve also opposed sidewalks and speed humps for years.

This is not overblown. Be a more skeptical reader. [/quote]

Exactly right.[/quote]

More speed bumps going up on Cleveland Park streets.  How do folks feel about that?[/quote]

Might as well put them on every street and all get SUVs at this point.  They have popped up all over the place in NW this summer.   There's only goong to be more of them if people don't say anything.[/quote]

The way to slow down the SUVs is to build a “neck down” at the speed humps so that 2-way traffic — truck, sedan or SUV — has to slow down in any case.[/quote]

So another magical fix on top of the previous magical fix in order to fix the problem that was created by the previous magical fix?[/quote]

The problem created is people driving too fast on residential side streets, which many drivers are using as quick cut-through routes.  Apps like Waze have exacerbated the problem in rent years.  Speed humps may not be ideal but they are a way to slow down (if not deter) Waze-crazed, fast driving commuters.[/quote]
What is the evidence for this “problem”?[/quote]
