OK-would all, who advocate FOR speed tables/bumps please work with the RTC and come up with a map of suitable locations. I have asked for the in the past, in addition for a map of where we might add more roadside paths-where we have adequate ROW and the ability to do it. So far, I haven’t seen much maps. Maybe they exist-if o, can the RTC and/or the PB please point us to them? It would really help us understand the realm of the possible.
