Title
Amending Schedules II and IV of the Traffic Schedules of Part Three of the Toledo Municipal Code by deleting Kenwood Boulevard from the through street schedule and designating a special speed limit on Kenwood Boulevard to be 25 mph.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
Section 333.03 of the Toledo Municipal Code provides for the alteration of speed limits on streets. After many neighbors' concerns and complaints, many car crashes, and after a recent tragic traffic fatality on Kenwood Boulevard, residents have demanded action be taken by the Mayor and City Council to lower the speed limit from 35 mph to 25 mph between North Cove Boulevard and Secor Road. Kenwood Boulevard is designated as a through street with a speed limit of 35 mph. The Ohio Revised Code and the Toledo Municipal Code designate the speed limit of through streets to be 35 mph and the speed limit on all other portions of the city except on through streets or highways outside of business districts to be 25 mph.
