Speed limits in residential areas

As I noted in a previous post, a citizen requested that the board reduce the speed limit on North Main Street near Barron hill. Currently, the speed changes from 30 mph to 45 mph just past the Yorkville Highway. An older gentleman out there asked the council to knock the speed down. Basically, the the speed would change to 30 around the nursing home.

I went out to North Main the other day and stood on the side of the road for several minutes. 45 is VERY fast there -- I personally don't oppose changing the limit.

I have heard, however, from several folks who oppose the change. Some of the people who oppose the change actually live on Barron hill.
