lumps attain an adequate track record, and until staff can predict how the speed lumps are <br />going to operate. <br /> <br /> If the Pilot Program was not successful, Ms. Ayala asked for assurance from staff <br />that the speed lumps would be removed. She pointed out that the traffic circles were not <br />successful, and in her estimatiun they were more dangerous for the children walking <br />those streets to school. <br /> <br /> Mr. Knowles said that it would not be a major problem to remove the speed lumps <br />if it was determined they were not effective. He referred to traffic circles and raised <br />medians and indicated that if the neighborhood wanted to, a few of the rubberized speed <br />lumps could be installed between the traffic circles in order to achieve 250 to 350 foot <br />spacing. The traffic calming effect of the traffic circles combined with the speed lumps <br />of 250 feet would accomplish the original intent, which he would recommend over <br />removing the traffic circles. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Ms. Hosterman, seconded by Mr. Campbell, to approve the <br />installation of speed lumps on Crellin Road as a Pilot Program to supplement the <br />Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program. <br /> <br />The roll call vote was as follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers - Ayala, Brozosky, Campbell, Hosterman, and <br /> <br /> Mayor Pico <br />NOES: None <br />ABSENT: None <br />ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br /> Mayor Pico said that he was one of the advocates of the Traffic Calming Tool <br />Box that Council created a number of years ago in Pleasanton.
