PURPOSE �ND RATIONALE FOR THIS ACTION:
City Council must ask the Coromissioner of the Minnesota Dapartment of
Transportation to determine the maxii�m safe speeds on city streets.
The present limit on the two streets referenced above is 3� mTles per hour.
The speed limit on Pierce Butier Route east of the point SDO feet east of �
Prior Avenue is k0 miles per hour. Recently the PublTc Works Committee
approved a na tion that the speed limit be revfawed. Due to the fsct that '
pedestrian activity is ainast non-existant,the land use not fully deveioped,
and traffic volumes being oniy �moderata, many drivers exceed the existing
30 mt le per hour posting.
