Where's The Damn Speed Hump?

It's been about six weeks since the city painted the speed hump markings in front of our house and a month since we got the flyer that said work would begin within one to two weeks. Well, nothing has happened anywhere in the neighborhood. What's going on.

It's been about three weeks since the email exchange between our neighbor across the street and the city with her concerns about the bumps. They then responded that they would move the bump from in front of her house and ours too and put it down the street a bit. 

Today we saw that the city painted a big red NO on the spot where the original speed hump was going to be on our block and then painted new lines. The funny thing is that the hump is only one house down. While the hump is not directly in front of Beth's house they will still go over it every time they come and go from the south direction of the street. It is better for us and I will still be able to sit on my porch and watch the cars coming down the street navigating the speed hump. 

Apparently the big NO sign is for the construction workers to make sure they see that this speed hump has been moved. There is another No sign down the street so I guess Beth wasn't the only person to contact the city to complain about the placement of the humps. 

So maybe the work will be starting soon. I certainly hope so. I really am tired of all the people speeding down our street especially knowing that it will end soon. I took a picture of the no sign painted on the street.
