The process for speed humps has changed with CDOT.  

We had  a resident that has mentioned the need of an additonal hump on Wedgewood in the stretc from Senea Place to just past Keystone.    

CDOT responded today that .......

We can look at this stretch of Wedgewood. Do you know that we are not funding speed humps and anything installed has to be funded either by Matching Grant funds or by the neighborhood? We can install them for $2400 each

Since we have two grants lined up that angle would not be an option at this time.

Speed Humps       Speed humps are raised sections of the roadway constructed to reduce vehicular speeds. Similar to a speed bump, the speed hump is wider and has a more sloping side taper. The physical impact on passing vehicles is less severe at slower speeds than at higher speeds. Studies show that speed humps can reduce speeds by approximately five to six mph. Also, speed humps reduce vehicular speeds between intersections, something multiway stops cannot address. ??‹The speed hump has a length of approximately 22 feet and a height at its center of approximately 3 and 5/8 inches. ??‹     The Charlotte Department of Transportation allows for the installation of speed humps on city streets.   Speed humps are permitted when neighborhood streets meet the eligibility requirements and interested residents can fulfill any of the following processes: Neighborhood Matching Grant Program– if the neighborhood qualifies through Neighborhood and Business Service’s Matching Grant Program Self-funding If you meet these requirements, request a speed hump using this form.
