As the city filed it

Residents on Chicora Avenue are frustrated by frequent speeding on their street endangering pedestrians, including young children, as non-local drivers use this residential street to avoid traffic on Dupont Avenue. They have requested the installation of speed humps, with an overwhelming majority of residents signing a petition in support. Installing speed humps would improve safety for pedestrians and other road users.
