To keep neighborhoods safe and vibrant, the City is considering recommendations to lower speed limits from 30 miles per hour to 25 miles per hour on neighborhood streets.
“Speed limits are one key tool that communities can use to help ensure that Bloomington neighborhoods maintain their safety and livability,” said City Engineer Julie Long.
Having gathered feedback through online surveys and a virtual open house in March, the program team will continue to seek community input electronically, at the Farmers Market and during public meetings before developing final recommendations to provide the City Council later this summer.
Larger roadways
Along with changes to how local roadways are managed, staff is also studying speed limit changes for larger City-owned corridors, including Lyndale Avenue, American Boulevard, and 86th and 90th streets, among others. Those recommendations will also be brought to the City Council following extensive conversations with the public.
