Mr. Lundstrom said the Fire Department is sympathetic to the neighborhoods' concerns about speed. The Department had been asked to conduct test runs before and during the speed -hump program on all streets with all devices. He said there were some delays, approximately 5 -15 seconds, based upon the type of device. He said emergency- response time is critical. He said Estudillo and Sybil Avenues are primary- response routes; they would not advise devices on these streets. Upon request by Council Member Young, Mr. Lundstrom noted .that response - time runs had not been studied on drainage dips.
