Speed humps installation on Glen Street

Starting June 3 or soon after, City Contractors will begin installing speed humps on Glen Street and other streets designated for speed humps in 2024. Speed hump installation begins with targeted pavement milling and signage installation. Then city contractors construct the asphalt mound and place temporary tape to highlight the speed hump. Later, pavement markings contractors will come and install permanent markings on the new speed humps. These include large white chevrons and diagonal yellow stripes.
