North Street & Church Street Speed Hump Feedback

As of October 25, 2023 the Highway Department has removed the speed humps in Erving Center. These speed humps were installed late summer 2023 at the request of neighborhood residents as a pilot project to see how they affected traffic and the residents on Church Street and North Street. They are being removed so the roads can be effectively and safely plowed when snow arrives. Prior to their removal, the Franklin Regional Council of Governments completed a traffic study to capture data on how the installation of these affected traffic patterns.

All formal feedback should be submitted via Google form or paper forms which will be mailed the week of October 30th. Feedback will be compiled and submitted to the Select Board and Capital Planning Committee for review. For any urgent issues please call Glenn McCrory, Highway Superintendent (413) 423-3500 ext. 1400.

How did the speed humps affect you/your family's driving patterns, walking patterns, comfort with children or pets playing outside, boarding school buses, etc?

How did the speed humps affect you and your family at your residence? Where there issues with noise from the vehicles, etc?

What observable differences in traffic patterns on your street did you notice? Did they appear effective in slowing traffic? For numerical data, the Highway Department had a traffic study completed so that speeds and traffic counts with/without the speed humps can be compared.

Did your opinion on the speed humps change before they were installed versus after they were installed? If so, how?

There are competitive grant funding sources such as Complete Streets, which the Town could apply for to increase pedestrian safety through this neighborhood in the future. This grant was successfully used to help pay for sidewalk installation and improvements in Ervingside neighborhoods. Projects such as this are expensive capital projects, which usually are not completely covered by grants, and may take many years to plan and fund. With that context, if you could make physical changes to North Street and Church Street to deter speeding and dangerous driving and improve pedestrian safety, what would they be?

Any other (respectful) comments?
