The roadway character of this portion of the route is <br /> significantly different than the river road or Broadway. The proposed speed limit change will not affect the <br /> majority of drivers who already travel at 25 mph or below,but will get the attention of drivers who do not <br /> recognize the changed environment. The Police Department and traffic engineering staff support a speed <br /> limit change on the route; and the City Transportation Advisory Committee has reviewed the staff <br /> recommendations and recommends that the speed limit change be authorized. <br /> RECOMMENDATION (Exact action requested of Council): Adopt Resolution # to <br /> reduce the speed limit on Lowell Road, from Broadway to South 3rd Avenue; South 3rd Avenue, from Lowell <br /> Road to Lenora Street; Lenora Street, from South 3rd Avenue to South 1st Avenue from 30 mph to 25 mph, and <br /> that the City Traffic Engineer shall order and install such signs, markings and devices as are necessary to <br /> effect this change. <br /> W FNTZ 9 <br />
