CDOT response on humps!
Mr. Doss-
City Council adopted an updated neighborhood traffic calming policy last November. One of the changes in the policy update results in changes to the way requests are submitted. Madison Park, like many neighborhoods in Charlotte is not an official HOA, but rather a neighborhood association. The difference between an HOA, which is a requirement for 100% of property owners in a particular neighborhood, and a neighborhood association, in which membership is voluntary, is important in terms of neighborhood representation.
That said, your neighborhood would not request the speed humps, but rather it is driven by individual request and if warrants are met then that individual is responsible for handling the standard petition process that requires 60% support of the property owners in the affected area. The new policy also changed the boundaries of the impact area. If your street is approved for speed humps and a petition is circulated, you will have the option not to sign in support. The city is now able to fund speed humps again through our Vision Zero safety program after a 7-year period in which public funding was not appropriated.
More information on the updated policy can be found in the attached document. The only inconsistency is that the policy was adopted in November, not January. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me or the investigator for your area, Brandon Ray. He is copied.

Count for just humps is now 600 when there are not all stops in place.
Counts for both stops and humps dropped from 2500 to 1500
There is also come consideration in place now for slower response times of Fire repsonders.
SO appears this was an individuals efforts and not the HOA or Neighborhood Associations of Madison Park or Montclaire.
