City Council Meeting Minutes September 1, 2020 Page 9 of 10 Mayor Pro Tem Maloney stated he supports a lower speed limit to help with pedestrian safety. He stated east of Dahlia needs to be addressed. Councilmember Brown stated the speed limits should be addressed and also how do we make it safer for pedestrians. Mayor Stolzmann noted that the proposal from staff shows that if the speed limit is reduced it will need to go to one lane in each direction to make that work so Council needs to be clear about that. Councilmember Dickinson stated he supports a lower speed limit but 25 miles per hour is too slow. He supports 35 miles per hour but would prefer to keep the four lanes. Public Comments - None Members supported one lane of traffic in each direction and reducing the speed limit to 35 with a buffered bike lane east of the power line trail to Coal Creek Lane. East of Coal Creek Lane will be a 25 speed limit. ORDINANCE NO. 1800, SERIES 2020 — AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE ST.
