He stated that the bumps have not been <br />installed due to opposition from the neighbors in the area. Terry Maurer indicated <br />that he met with a few of the neighbors who are interested in exploring other <br />opportunities to alleviate the amount and speed of traffic on Auburn Street. One <br />of the issues discussed was the possibility of installing cul-de-sacs in the street from <br />the nodh and the south, eliminating the cut through traffic. Terry Maurer <br />indicated that an issue with the installation of cul-de-sacs would be the <br />responsibility for payment of the improvement. Terry Maurer indicated that the <br />developer is not interested in paying for the installation of cul-de-sacs.
