The speed hump says that it's $3,700 "per block", so perhaps it includes more than one? <br /><br />I thought $12,000 for a pedestrian countdown timer to be added onto an existing traffic light was pretty steep, but that says it's "per intersection" so I suppose that covers four lights.Bike Walk Lincoln Parkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901957031606116893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4431360523191384388.post-76093590646048498612012-03-21T16:08:30.763-05:002012-03-21T16:08:30.763-05:00Is it just me, or do these prices seem exorbently ...Is it just me, or do these prices seem exorbently expensive?

Smith's office provided the figures on costs. <br /><br />Yes, I've seen the portable in-street "Stop for Peds" on Wells working now for many months, and they're very effective. Hopefully people in wards all over the city will lobby their alderman to spend menu funds on these.<br /><br />Thanks for the use of your picture! -- MichelleBike Walk Lincoln Parkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901957031606116893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4431360523191384388.post-47462386168190034682012-03-20T18:01:28.036-05:002012-03-20T18:01:28.036-05:00This is a great way to determine how to spend menu...This is a great way to determine how to spend menu money. I'm curious where you got the costs for speed humps, signs, and such. I hadn't found solid figures on those before. <br /><br />I got a verbal commitment last fall from Ald. Osterman in the 48th Ward to at least try "Stop for Pedestrians" signs on Clark Street in Andersonville. I find those work the best on two-lane streets like Clark and its good to know that they're fairly inexpensive.Kevin Zolkewicznoreply@blogger.com
