The new traffic calming measures are in on University. Here is a report from a neighbor who lives over that way.
There are 3 sets of speed bumps between American River Drive and Breckenwood Way . Time will tell whether they install one more that appears to have been stenciled yet abandoned close to the corner of University & ARD.

However, it is interesting to watch the percentage of motorists so hurried they attempt to speed through the bumps – avoiding the wisdom of the process.
A little humor - when I told my teenager who nearly lost his life being clobbered by the Surburban that the bumps were being installed that day, he commented, ‘that’s too bad’ implying they would be inconvenient! Youth…
