Re: Another Tragedy on Highway 95

I wonder a bit about the speed limits on some of Moscow's streets.  Your
answer from the city engineer is interesting.  Why is Mabelle/Spotwood
at 30 mph and a street like Perimeter Drive at 25 mph?  

All the residents on Mabelle signed a petition and sent if off to city
hall over a year ago.  We felt it was a safety issue with the many
houses, lack of sidewalks and lighting in certain areas that 25 would be
safer.  We were told something about needing arterioles for funding. 
Yet Perimeter is wider with sidewalks on both sides in several places.

Tradegies happen for reason beyond human comprehension but we can as
human's try to avoid "setting up" such situations.  Following posted
speed limits is just one.

Does someone out here in cyberspace have an answer?
