Community Development District 5 supervisors have rendered a decision on the fate of the speed bumps on the multi-modal path at the entrance to the Village of Bridgeport at Lake Sumter.
A reconfiguration has been completed at the entrance, aimed at improving the line of sight. Residents of the Village of Bridgeport at Lake Sumter had made pleas to elected officials seeking the change to the entrance.
“They did a great job,” CDD 5 Supervisor Jerry Knoll said at Friday morning’s board meeting.
“Now it goes back to individual automobile operator, golf cart operator and bicycle operator to be responsible,” he added.
The board unanimously agreed to remove the pair of speed bumps at the entrance.
“I’m glad that matter has been resolved. It has lingered a long time,” said CDD 5 Chairman Walter Martin.
CDD 5 supervisors also agreed to remove the speed bump at the tunnel between Palmer Legends Country Club and the Bridgeport of Lake Miona.
The speed bumps will be removed within a month. It will likely take place at night when there is less traffic.
