I'm not  certain if this is germane 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?

All residential streets are already 25 mph unless otherwise  posted.  Making 
21st St. and similar streets 25 mph would be  ridiculous.
