VHA representative wants speed bumps repaired in her neighborhood

A VHA representative appeared before Community Development District 2 supervisors on Friday morning, calling for repairs to speed bumps on her street.

These speed bumps have been worn down by years of heavy traffic on Azteca Loop.

Village of Santiago resident Carol Speicher lives on Azteca Loop, which she said is a major cut-through for golf carts traveling to Savannah Center. She estimated there are 1,200 golf carts a day traveling down her street. She said most of them are exceeding the 10 miles per hour speed limit.

“Golf carts come zipping around, they go right behind me when I am backing up in my car, that’s pretty scary,” she said.

She contends the speed bumps are worn down from years of heavy traffic.

“It’s not much of a speed bump anymore,” Speicher said.

CDD 2 Chairman John Blum asked Sam Wartinbee of District Property Management to take a look at the speed bumps.
