Council adopts multiple traffic-code changes including speed-limit adjustments on Belknap Street

The Superior City Council on Dec. 1 adopted a package of traffic-code ordinances changing disabled parking zones, speed limits, stop sign configurations and parking rules on multiple streets.
Key approvals included: adding disabled parking zones at 1527 Iowa (both sides), amending speed limits on Belknap Street to make segments west of the roundabout 25 mph and east of the roundabout 30 mph (the roundabout itself has a recommended 15 mph advisory), deleting a four-way stop at Wyoming Avenue and North 19th Street and adding one- and two-way stops, establishing a no-parking window from 3 a.m. to 6 a.m. on a specified west-side block between North 10th and North 11th Streets, excluding the 600 block of Third Avenue East from calendar parking and prohibiting parking on the odd-numbered side of that same block. The items were introduced by the planning department and approved by voice vote.
Councilor Olsen and Councilor Dalbec raised clarifying points about the Belknap Street speed-limit changes, citing confusion after a nearby stoplight was moved and inconsistent signage after a recent roundabout installation. A councilor noted the speed in the roundabout is advisory and the ordinance aligns posted limits with the road geometry and recent improvements.
Next steps: the city will update signage and enforce the revised traffic code provisions; the transcript does not specify exact dates for new signs or enforcement changes.
