A screenshot of the announcement is attached. When | was on the traffic safety committee, we discussed a new CA study to change the methodology for setting speed limits, Latest report here). lam not sure whether the methodology has officially changed yet, but | wonder if this is a good opportunity to re-examine the issue and look at adjusting the speeds on PVD and Hawthorne down to 35? It would make so much more sense to do that where | live at PVDW and Berry Kill, as the speed limit switches to 35 mph just a few hundred feet away at the PVE border. A lower speed limit could reduce vehicle crashes and also make crossing PVDWa lot safer for pedestrians like me and my family who have to run through four lanes of traffic to enjoy the Vicente Bluffs Reserve.
