I use the "Milvia Slow Street" about every other day, and don't find that the "speed humps" bother me at all. Note that a hump is about 5 feet across, which jolts much less than a "bump" which is about only a foot. Stop signs are much more of an annoyance, and if humps can be used in place of them to some extent, that would be a great improvement. The suggestion to have small gaps in the humps for bikes is a good one, but in my experience not critical. I am also a great fan of the barriers, except for their aesthetics. There are a number of places in Berkeley where they have been replaced with nicer looking structures. Bruce Nordman B_Nordman@lbl.gov
