INTER-OFFICE COMMUNICATION !
Scptember 11 , 1970
Honorable Robert F. Sprafka
Co�amissioner of Publ ic Works
Depa r t�nt
Dear Connissioner Sprafka;
The attached resolutior� requests the Highway Department to deter�aine
the proper speed on Cretin Ave. from [-94 to Marshail Ave. At the last
Traffic Conraittee by a vote of 5 to 4 a motion was passed recoianending an
increase Of five mil�s an hour to 35 �iles per hour. During a recent spted
study conducted by our office, only 5X of the vehicles were traveling within
the speed li�ait, It seeras likely that a sornawhat �igher speed limit would
provide a�ore uniformity and a more realistic speed lin�it.
Yours very trul ,
