Speed hump policy overhaul
Summary
Rosemead's speed hump program has been effectively unusable — the 67% signature requirement killed nearly every application. The proposed overhaul would drop the entry bar to five signatures, use a 51% simple majority of survey responses, and let staff and schools initiate applications. Commissioners broadly liked the direction but want a higher initiation bar on long streets and a physical street sign so neighbors can't miss the notice.

Impact analysis
Each speed hump costs the city roughly $20,000–$25,000, usually two per street — about $40,000–$50,000 — which is why a two-year removal wait is proposed.
Residents on streets with speeding problems, especially near schools like Willard, who previously couldn't clear the 67% hurdle.
Neighbors who oppose a hump could see one installed with support from as few as a quarter of the street's households.
