PTC Council says 'not so fast' to speed barriers

The speed bumps in the Planterra Ridge subdivision will stay just a bit longer.

The Peachtree City Council tabled a proposal to replace them with "speed cushions" which are less intrusive, moving vehicles just three inches off the ground. Council directed city staff to get data on the speed of vehicles in the subdivision and other information before making a final decision.

The projected cost of installing the speed cushions is about $18,000 in city funds and a like amount from the subdivision's homeowners association.
