Speed bumps planned for South Dennis

Written by Staff Reports Friday, April 19, 2013 02:17 pm

SOUTH DENNIS -- Speed bumps are being installed on Gravel Hole Road in South Dennis to discourage tourist traffic on the residential street.

"Many tourists believe that they can shave a minute or two off their trip by cutting through Gravel Hole Road to bypass a traffic light and get to or from Route 83," said Mayor Gene Glembocki. "The neighbors became very concerned about speeding out-of-state cars endangering children on bikes and pedestrians in the area and brought those concerns to Township Committee. Our hope is that the speed humps and some 'Local Traffic Only' signs will discourage the use of this residential street by these drivers.  The state police also stepped up patrols in the area on weekends in order to discourage this type of driving.  The Township Committee took this proactive step in order to protect the kids in that neighborhood."
