Replacement of Speed Bumps in UCSB Parking Lot 10

The speed bumps are a hazard for lowered cars. Please make them minimal at least.

Thanks so much for starting this petition. Each time I enter parking lot 10 and creep over those ridiculous bumps, I think what a horrible solution! It's so obviously bad! I think about how they effect my tire pressure, tire wear and tear, suspension, and wonder how such an ill conceived solution could have been approved. I suspect that the bumps were also installed to prevent skate boarders from using the parking structure as an amusement park (after hours). That might have contributed to the choice in design. But they are too severe for cars, and yes it's frustrating. Please remove them and find a better solution.

damage to cars and the structure. I avoid them as much as possible.

I am all for safety, but these bumps are way too high.

Please get rid of them --- in any case, they are falling apart.

Please remove those tyre destroyers.

Replacing the bumps should be cheap relatively to the cost the university can pay in a collective suitcase against the drivers whose cars have been damaged by the bumps.

As a Prius driver I was relieved to hear that these ill-conceived speed 'bumps' were going to be removed and replaced with something more reasonable. After many weeks of no removal I was shocked to hear that a decision had been made that it would be too expensive to replace them. If T&P services had initially tested with a couple of them they would have been able to determine their unsuitability at less cost. But it's not OK to continue to cause damage to people's cars because of their poor planning. As other's have said, the attempt to shave the bumps down have done nothing to resolve the real problem, which is the abrupt steepness of the shape. It is additionally insulting that the revised decision was not announced to the UCSB community.

As the driver of a sports car with stiff suspension, I can tell you that the bumps are bone jarring at 1-2 mph. The attempt to grind down a few of them is a failure. The steepness of the curb is unchanged. One wonders how this concept was vetted before the go ahead to install.

While some form of speed bump is needed, The present speed bumps are too harsh.

THEY ARE THE WORST.

Some of the speedbumps were shortened, but only up to the 2nd floor. Since TPS has failed to remove the speedbumps as stated on July 25th they should at least shorten the remainder of the bumps even though this is still a poor solution due to the poor high-impact shape that they selected for the speedbumps.

These speed bumps are an embarrassment to the University. They are extraordinarily harsh, and they are so cheap that many have become dislodged only a few weeks after installation.

These jarring speed bumps are incredibly obnoxious.

Please remove the bumps as soon as possible.....

The new speed bumps cause a more serious safety hazard than the speeding behavior they are intended to discourage. First, many drivers swerve around them and into parking spaces (particularly on the lower level) – causing unpredictable driving patterns that endanger both pedestrians and other vehicles. Second, a vehicle driving over the speed bumps even at low speeds causes the entire concrete floor to shudder with a noticeable amplitude, which over the long term could compromise the structural integrity of the parking garage. The speed bumps should be replaced with ones whose shape does not cause these intense impacts, or removed entirely.

In addition to being damaging to the cars, the bumps are probably also damaging to the parking structure. You can feel the structure vibrating when a car crosses over them.

In addition to being damaging to the cars

On July 25 the acting director said they would remove the bumps. Then, in an e-mail exchange with me in late September, be backpedalled and said they weren't going to remove them (yet failed to announcence this to the community at large). Frustrating situation all around.
