42nd Street speed limit debate moves to 30 mph
C R officials consider lowering 42nd Street NE from Center Point Road to Weing Road NE from 35 to 30 mph after discovering mismatched signs. A speed check study will be conducted and a temporary fix will adjust signs to 35 mph where needed. Residents want 25 mph, but officials warn of higher violation risk.
