[BikeLongmont] 25 mph speed limit proposal

[Richard Masoner]

I'm not certain if this is germaine to bicycling or not, but most of
you probably know about city council's desire to look into reducing
speed limits on residential streets to 25 mph.

City staff has proposed defining a "residential" street to be a
non-arterial streets (i.e. local and collector streets) where
buildings adjacent to the street for at least 100 yards are mainly
residential dwellings.

Hence, 21st Avenue -- a 4 lane, divided road -- would have a 25 mph
speed limit under the proposed definition. Other affected streets
include Alpine, Deerwood, Mountain View, Lashley, Collyer, Francis,
Gay, Clover Basin (west of Airport), and short portions of Pratt Pky,
Quail Road, Missouri, and Sunset.

I'm curious about how the group feels about this: Yay? Nay? Yay, but
with changes?
