If you have been a longtime reader of A Little Beacon Blog, you’ll know that we look for speed bumps in Memorial Park. It’s a nice scenic drive, and easy to go fast through. Enjoyable! But so many kids and walkers are there.

Speed bumps in Beacon are not always embraced. Different neighborhoods have asked for them over the years, and in past administrations, been met with resistance. Usually the reason is that they are hard on the snow plows and other vehicles.

The speed bumps in Memorial Park are put down in the Spring, stay during the Summer, and are removed for the Winter by the Highway Department.
