Earlier this month City Council heard suggestions from Denys Vielkanowitz, the cityâs traffic engineer who did suggest making some improvements for safety to the road, however, advised against dropping the speed limits.
Still, Councilman Charlie Rivenbark has sponsored an ordinance that would reduce the speed limit from 40 mph to 35 mph along the route, and bring it from 30 mph to 25 mph in the Bradley Creek school zone. According to Vielkanowitz, the 40 mph speed limit is appropriate based on traffic studies conducted in the area.
