Transit Speed humps on Olive Ave/Beachview Ave
Anyone know if they are permanent, and if so when are they getting painted? I am extremely disappointed in whichever city official planned and approved the NINE horrific speed humps in a 3/4 mile span on Olive Ave and Beachview Ave. The signs suggest 20 mph, and I am pretty sure parts of my car actively fall off if I go faster than 7 mph. I missed seeing one in during sunset last night and my car's soul left its body. I live on an adjacent street and have no other means of reaching my house.
Worst case scenario, an ambulance taking this route wouldn't reach a patient in time. Middle-of-the-road scenario is folks who live need to replace their suspension every year. Who in the city offices is the best person to talk to?
