Curran noted drivers previously used alleys at varied speeds, leading the traffic advisory board to adopt a 15 mph limit after considering 20 mph too fast.

Government shutdown talks push toward last minute deal
President Obama, House Speaker Boehner, and Senate leaders press for a funding agreement to avert a nationwide shutdown. A temporary bill could extend spending through Sept 30 with roughly 12 billion in cuts including Pentagon funding, while essential services would still operate but many government functions would halt. The pace quickens as negotiations spill into the night with deadlines looming and harm to tax processing research and travel services looming.
