The Hampton City Council voted at its July 9 regular meeting to approve the installation of one speed hump on Hillside Drive.

A public hearing on the matter was convened in June, at which time no one spoke for or against the proposal, but a petition with a number of signatures was presented to the council before the measure was approved. City code requires that a minimum of 75 percent property owners on a street must indicate a preference for a speed hump for it to be installed, and property owners also share 75 percent of the cost.

The vote to approve was unanimous.
