Public Works Director / City Engineer <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Speed Limits <br /> <br /> Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: <br /> $0 $3,900 General Fund Street Maintenance <br /> <br />Council Should Consider <br /> <br />• Implementing a city-wide speed limit reduced to 25 MPH. <br />• Timing of implementation if staff is directed to move forward. <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />Minnesota Statute 169.14 Speed Limits, Zones; Radar regulates highway and roadway speeds in <br />Minnesota. Subdivision 2 sets maximum speed limits on a variety of within a Municipality, such <br />as 10 mph in alleys, 30 mph in urban districts, and 25 mph on residential roadways, if adopted by <br />the road authority. In August 2019, the Minnesota Legislature changed the Statutes governing <br />speed limits on city streets. The changes allow cities to establish speed on roads under the City’s <br />jurisdiction, other than the statutory limits, without conducting an engineering and traffic <br />investigation. Any speed limit changes must be implemented in a consistent and understandable <br />manner. “The city must erect appropriate signs to display the speed limit. A city that uses the <br />authority under this subdivision must develop procedures to set speed limits based on the city's <br />safety, engineering, and traffic analysis. At a minimum, the safety, engineering, and traffic <br />analysis must consider national urban speed limit guidance and studies, local traffic crashes, and <br />methods to effectively communicate the change to the public.” City Council has discussed speed <br />limit changes on various roads, and for a city-wide reduction on City owned and maintained <br />streets, for a speed limit reduction from 30 MPH to 25 MPH. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
