New kind of a "speed hump"?

Those might be preparations for a speed hump at that spot? I've seen something similar to what you describe only to find a speed hump get installed there shortly thereafter. The digging/tearing up crew is often out of sync with the installation/resurfacing crew.

If you look again you'll probably see painted markings corresponding on the curbs as well; agree with Tony-- that's where the speed humps are going to go.

I've been paying attention lately and noticing that anything that requires concrete with some sort of finishing gets severerly delayed at the end of a project, but asphalt should be quick. I;d lodge a 311 report in case it was just forgotten/slipped through the cracks (assuming it's a problem for you in some way.)

Those grooves are still there. No painted markings on the curbs. Tony's right, most likely: it's an unfinished (or barely started) usual speed hump. I saw new humps on freshly re-paved part of Levitt just few blocks north.

Oy it takes them at least a month to work on it? I've got the same grooves on my block of Wellington. They've been there for about two weeks so far, with no crew in sight to finish it. Ours are mid-block, but since it's a shaded one-way, you don't see the grooves until you're right in front of them. I've heard a lot of bikes flying over at a pretty good pace, but haven't seen any wipeouts yet. I think 311 is a good idea. It shouldn't take a month to put in a speed bump.
