Breaker. Windsor would be the next place to put the speed sign on. Ross has
one going south.
2. Mayor-Discussed that some cities are lowering speed limits. They are changing
speed limits on residential streets from 25 to 20. It has helped keep speeds
down. Tracy explained with our roads being so wide lowering the speed limit
wouldn’t help. Discussed some possible solutions.
