Council Member Sandy Nurse inquires about DOT's proactive consideration of speed mitigation infrastructure during regular repaving schedules, particularly for streets that have had multiple requests for speed bumps but didn't meet DOT's speed criteria.
- Nurse asks if DOT would proactively install speed bumps on eligible streets during repaving, even if they didn't meet previous speed criteria.
- The question aims to understand if DOT uses repaving as an opportunity to address community requests for traffic calming measures.
- This inquiry sets the stage for a broader discussion about DOT's repaving process and coordination with safety improvements.

But I do have a, separate.

One final separate question, since we are talking about repaving and things like that.
1:15:30
When you are in just on your normal schedule repaving and you're approaching a set of blocks that you're doing, does DOT proactively consider any new speed mitigation infrastructure and proactively install it?

For example, if you are coming up on a series of blocks that you're paving that have had, request multiple requests for speed bumps, and those studies, they're eligible streets, but they didn't meet the speed criteria, according to DOT.

Is this something that you would proactively look at and just say, hey, they've they've studied this before.
1:16:06
People have asked for it.

Let's just go ahead and put in the speed bump.
