SHORT BACKGROUND (AKA "PAPERS GATHER DUST")
IN 2001, THE CITY OF BOCA RATON, FL PASSED AN OFFICIAL “TRAFFIC CALMING POLICY”—A 27-PAGE DOCUMENT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE ONLINE AS A .PDF ON THE CITY OF BOCA RATON WEBSITE. THE DOCUMENT (ENCLOSED WITH THIS POSITION) INCLUDES DETAILED SCHEMATICS (ALSO ENCLOSED) OF “TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES”—DEFINED BY THE CITY AS “SELF-ENFORCING PHYSICAL BARRIERS TO DANGEROUS MOTOR VEHICLE USE.” SINCE SO MANY NEIGHBORHOODS WERE ON WAITING LISTS FOR LANDSCAPING CONTROL MEASURES, AND INSTALLATION OF LARGE SPEED BUMPS, THE CITY’S TRAFFIC AND ZONING COMMITTEE MADE THREE REVISIONS TO THE “OFFICIAL” POLICY. FINALLY, “SPEED HUMPS” WERE DECIDED UPON AS A COST-EFFECTIVE, TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURE—YET MANY NEIGHBORHOODS, SUCH AS MINE (THE AREA OF BLOCKS 2400-2800 NW 1ST AVENUE) ARE STILL USED AS CUT-THROUGH, HIGH-SPEED DRAG STRIPS—ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF TENANTS, BUSINESS OWNERS AND PETS.Sponsor
Dennis Dickson, resident and business owner of First St.
