What is the process of requesting a speed hump in Milwaukee?
Bauman says that anyone interested in requesting the installation of a speed hump should first reach out to their local alderperson to figure out if there are any measures specific to their area they need to take.
However, the general process is as follows:
If you want a speed hump, you must start a petition and request at least 50% of support from the block s property owners and/or residents. You must also elicit support from your area s alderperson.
With that support, a speed study is conducted on your street. DPW will prepare a cost estimate and send out postcard surveys with those estimates of what it will cost per property. Residents must return the postcards with a vote.
Stacey Hill Cooper s new year started off with a bang but not the kind she wanted. On Jan. 2, she was startled by a loud boom when someone speeding down the 3100 block of Richards Street totaled her parked car and drove off.
Roughly two years earlier, Cooper said the same thing happened across the street at her elderly mother s house, when a speeding driver totaled her mother s parked car.
Audrey White, who owns a group home for seniors along Richards Street, said she has seen hundreds of cars flying down the street.
White, a former Milwaukee Public Schools teacher and social worker, said the seniors she works with are afraid to walk outside. Both White and Cooper say they fear a speeding car will lose control and crash into them on the sidewalk.
