I strongly oppose them. They slow down fire trucks and other emergency vehicles.

I'd suggest changing the curbs in that area so that they're 90 degree angles. Doyle & N Main, Olney & N Main, etc.

When you have curved curbs, people go super fast when turning.

An unbelievable lack of common sense as well as an unfamiliarity with the area being discussed.

Do you geniuses understand that there's a fire house a block away? And you want to put in speed bumps??
