Check out Helen’s column in the Courant on this.
I’d like to add to that, cracking down on all other illegal forms of transportation. I’m quite sure that go-carts aren’t street legal, yet I’ve seen them go down my street. There’s also the issue of kids car surfing.
And while we’re at it, let’s make the speed bumps really cut down on speed. The “speed tables” are essentially ramps or mini-jumps that dirt bike riders can use to get air. Real, nasty speed bumps will wreck you if you are going too fast and hit one. But it’ll slow you down, and isn’t that the point?
She’s right, that these small issues contribute to the larger issues here.

Between the crotch-rockets, the pocket bikes and dirt-bikes, the screaming motorized scooters, and the ATV’s (not street legal) – driving and walking in Hartford is a real obstacle course.
Definitely a quality of life issue….and a “gateway behavior” into 4-wheel vehicular mayhem.
Although I am not sure that speed bumps are all that effective – most of them have slots or low points in the middle or near the curb that two wheelers can steer through to avoid the bump (I know I do when I am biking)
