Council Approves Recommended Approach, Authorizes Staff to Develop Implementation Plan

At the February 17 City Council meeting, staff presented the public engagement report for the local speed limit evaluation. Council approved staff's recommended approach for lowering speed limits citywide, which would set most local streets to 25 mph and a few high-traffic streets would remain at 30 mph. A map of the proposed speed limits is shown below and in the Document library on the right. Council also authorized staff to develop an implementation plan. This plan will include signage requirements, enforcement strategies and public education strategies. Staff will present the implementation plan to Council later this year.
