Neighborhood speeding and traffic enforcement
Summary
The study found speeds under the 25 mph limit and a ~10% grade that rules out speed humps. Instead, stop signs get brighter, more visible upgrades — with the petitioner invited back in a year to report whether it's working.

Impact analysis
The study itself cost about $10,000; the recommended sign and marking upgrades are treated as normal maintenance.
Bloomwood residents and drivers get better stop-sign visibility without the vehicle-damage risks of humps on a steep street.
Homeowners seeking speed humps on steep streets may be denied devices, and fire-response concerns limit some calming tools.
