Tinlin also said the BTD has a problem maintaining signs be cause people steal stop signs as souvenirs for their homes. If speed bump warning signs are not maintained, then unknow ing drivers maneuvering over speed bumps at high speeds could endanger themselves and pedestrians, said Tinlin. .. "You can't do it in such a way - when you solve one problem but create another," said Tinlin. But Brighton resident John Kelly says speed bumps are a necessary safety tool. Kelly, a friend of Malone, said that overgrown wild brush and snow on sidewalks often force pedes trians to walk in the street and endanger their lives.
