So glad to see the post of comments and interest in the neighborhood addressing the upcomming city council meeting this Tuesday Nov 17th. We live in a neighborhood of good people who really do want to address the concern and saftey of everyone who lives here.
We are going to the city council to see what can be done to improve the saftey here for everyone. To say speed humps or speed bumps will reduce the value of ones home as a recent flyer stated that was passed out simply is not so. Where is the data on this?? I have gone online and researched thru three seperate real estate brokers and all information I was given did not agree.
Do I like speed bumps or speed humps, No, however; is the safety of one child, pet or adult worth the effort of slowing down due to having them here in our neighborhood. ABSOLUTELY
The lighting in Bently Farms has been an issue since we moved here. Perhaps better lighting is the first step to take. In any event I hope everyone who attends comes with an open mind of the end goal.

I also read the recent flyer about the speed humps. After seeing the comment about the property values, I researched this myself. I read about 15 articles and this is what I found. Concerning property values, it seems to be a 50/50 split on lowering values. What I did find, however, is that it will most alyways label the neighborhood as a "speed and or traffic problem".
That might not affect the property value, but it will increase the amount of time that a home will spend on the market. Prospective buyes will not want to move into a "problem" area.
If safety is truely the concern here, I agree a better idea might be to install stop signs and increase the neighborhood lighting.
