   Temple Terrace council picks fourth speed hump over roundabout on Sunnyside Road

   On Oct. 20 the council unanimously rejected a $311,000 mini roundabout at Shadow Lane and a $550,000 T-intersection at Brentwood Drive. It chose a fourth speed hump and permanent replacements for three removable humps, about $25,000, between Bullard Parkway and South Riverhills Drive. The city had budgeted $500,000 and no construction date is set.

   What it may mean for the marketThe lower-cost option keeps Sunnyside Road's layout unchanged and leaves most of the budgeted funds unspent. The project is about 4 miles southeast of Bavarian Village Ph Iii Con, elsewhere in Hillsborough County.
