Recommendation

This item was referred by Ald. Pieper and endorsed by Ald. Corey Payne.  In September 2020, Engineering staff conducted a crash study of the intersection of Summit Avenue and N. Washington Avenue.  Said study produced findings and made recommendations to improve safety.  One such item was to adjust the existing posted speed limit as detailed in the subject line.  The Department of Public Works does not have any issues with this item.
