Woodland Heights residents have started to receive a public notice about a plan to add some new speed bumps along White Oak Drive near Stude Park. The plan proposes to add a total of six (6) new traffic cushions along White Oak between Studewood and Taylor. Also, one new traffic cushion on Usener between White Oak and Taylor.
The project has been in the works for a long time. It’s the result of neighbors pressing for improvements along a known dangerous stretch of road. It’s being funded by Council District H.
