Allendale St., JP into Brookline (311.boston.gov)

Wow, just drove up that road with all the new speed bumps. Good grief! They're so many! Probably every 30 feet from Faulkner Hospital toward Brookline.(Stop at Brookline). Yikes! Beware at night for sure.

That many in a row? That's crazy. There must be a legit civil engineer math equation for proper distance. And Allendale St is not it.

I haven't had a problem with them, because it seems easy enough to go over them at around 25 miles per hour. 25 mph is the speed limit and all these neighborhoods. I'm sure there are situations where it becomes very annoying. I'm more curious about what the snow plows are going to do with them.

Certainly makes it a more bumpy ride for my ambulance patients. Imagine rushing a cardiac arrest coming off the Brookline golf course to Faulkner. Maybe speed bump therapy will save 'em.

Yeah, that's one situation where complaining about a bumpy road is very very valid! Hadn't thought of that
