City Council - May 6, 2026
Speed limits drop on stretches of Fruitvale, Prospect, Quito, Saratoga Avenue, Sobey Road and others, based on the 2025 speed survey. New signs go up 30 days after final adoption — and yes, they'll be enforced.
City Council - Mar 4, 2026
New state law lets the city post enforceable, lower speed limits on many streets — but the survey recommended raising two winding Pierce Road segments from 25 to 30 mph. The council refused that increase, keeping 25 mph posted (though unenforceable there) out of safety concerns.
