There is no discussion of the canopy sign tonight.
Why not raise the speed limit to 50! That’s what everybody goes.
First the road get widened then the speed limit goes up.
What are council and the police tired of all the complaints about speeding?
With the limit at 35, it will mute the complaints.
Does anyone from safety committe live on this street? Nope
If these speeds are increased will that also allow through-truck traffic?
Why not put some cops there and stop the speeding?
