Cameron Roberts, a staff member working on Vision Zero and capital projects, summarized a weeklong speed‑zone study and crash analysis. Roberts said the study showed a majority of drivers were already traveling below the posted 35 mph limit; the corridor also has roadway changes (lane reductions, medians, bike lanes) that staff said support a lower limit. "Reducing car speed limits by five miles per hour can go a very long way and potentially save a life when a crash does occur," Roberts told the committee.
Staff said they will seek written approval from ODOT and then install advance signage for several weeks prior to changing posted speed‑limit signs; they estimated a three to four week public‑notification and implementation window after ODOT's written approval.
The resolution passed the committee.
