Leoti council moves to lower speed limit on 7th Street to 20 mph; ordinance to be drafted
Summary
The Leoti City Council agreed Nov. 4 to begin the process of lowering the speed limit on 7th Street from 30 mph to 20 mph and asked the city attorney to draft an ordinance after the county sheriff expressed support for either option the council considered.
Leoti City Council members agreed at their Nov. 4 meeting to start the formal process of reducing the posted speed limit on 7th Street from 30 mph to 20 mph and directed City Attorney Charles Moser to draft an ordinance for formal consideration.
City Superintendent Blaine Medina told the council he had contacted Sheriff Casper about two options the council raised — adding stop signs or lowering the speed limit — and that Sheriff Casper "would be fine with either option," prompting council members to choose the speed-limit reduction as the first step.
The change is intended as a traffic-safety measure for a residential stretch of 7th Street. Council members did not set an implementation date at the Nov. 4 meeting; the ordinance drafted by the city attorney will return to the council for a vote at a future meeting.
