Remember no one is asking for an end to traffic calming, just TC reform. You be the judge.

How did Thomas Kistler do this?
Here it is in his own words:

I live in a much smaller city and circulated a petition through the neighborhood, 350 residents. The main argument for removal was the diversion of traffic down a much smaller street, making the street unsafe. I also circulated the phone numbers, work and home addresses, and e-mail of all the council members and asked the people to inundate the council with complaints. The petition included names, phone numbers and addresses so it could be validated by the city, if they wanted. The result was over 240 residents wanted the humps removed. I took this to the city council meeting and gave copies to all members, the city manager and attorney. Along with the petition I included letters from the many disabled in the neighborhood, adults and children. There are a number of special ED. children that are forced over the humps which can not tell you if the humps hurt them. This got a some attention. Next several of us sent in letters to the city manager,attorney and council. The letters addressed the ADA issue of public right of way access. We stated that if the access was not provided any exacerbation or increase in injury would initiate legal action against the city. This was too much for them and they were tired of us hammering them every council meeting. This sounds like a short process but it took many months and more was involved than I can relay. This is just a summary of what happened.

If you have other questions let me know. Thomas Kistler
