A project to construct speed cushions on Lawrence Avenue between Ninth Street and Harvard Road is moving forward.

Commissioners approved a bid of $15,704 from LRM Industries to build the two traffic-calming devices. Commissioners had given approval of the plans in July 2007 but had not assigned a funding source to the project. Commissioners will use general obligation bonds to pay for the speed cushions, which are similar to speed humps but have cutouts to allow fire engines to more easily travel through the area.
