Jonesboro committee forwards speed-limit changes for Flint and Race streets to full council
Summary
The City of Jonesboro Public Safety Committee voted to forward an ordinance establishing a 25 mph limit on Flint Street and a 35 mph limit on Race Street to the full City Council.
At its meeting, the City of Jonesboro Public Safety Committee voted to forward an ordinance to the full City Council that would set a 25-mile-per-hour speed limit on Flint Street from Thomas Avenue to Dogwood Lane and a 35-mile-per-hour limit on Race Street from Carraway Road to Browns Lane.
The ordinance, read in full to the committee by the committee chair, was introduced as a recommendation from the traffic control committee. Committee members asked no substantive questions, no members of the public spoke, and the motion passed to send the ordinance to the full council.
The proposed changes were presented as specific, block-to-block limits: Flint Street (Thomas Avenue to Dogwood Lane) at 25 mph; Race Street (Carraway Road to Browns Lane) at 35 mph. The committee did not debate alternative limits or request additional traffic studies during the meeting.
The committee recorded no amendments and took no final legislative action beyond forwarding the ordinance to the council. The ordinance will next appear on the City Council agenda for final consideration and any public hearing required by council rules.
Votes at the committee level were recorded as a passing motion to forward the ordinance; no roll-call vote detail beyond “motion passes” was provided in the transcript.
