Residents have raised concerns regarding speeding issues on local streets, particularly on Cooper and Mechanicum. During a recent government meeting, a council member highlighted the lack of speed limit signs on Cooper, which has led to increased speeding, especially when driving downhill from the school. Currently, a 25 miles per hour speed limit sign is only present when approaching the school, leaving the downhill route unmarked.

The discussion also focused on Mechanicum, the only street in the city with a 30 miles per hour speed limit. Historically, this limit was set at 35 miles per hour, but attempts to lower it to 25 miles per hour were hindered by state regulations. Recent changes now allow cities to reduce speed limits by up to 5 miles per hour without state approval, prompting calls for a reevaluation of Mechanicum's speed limit in comparison to other streets, where limits are generally set at 25 miles per hour.

The council member proposed referring these concerns to the Transportation Commission to ensure a more equitable and consistent approach to speed limits across the city. This motion received a second, indicating support for further investigation into the matter.
