The Phoenix City Council plans to take action on proposed changes that would reduce speed limits across city streets at Wednesday’s meeting.
The latest change would affect 13 streets across the city, including a stretch of Osborn Road between 40th and 56th streets that would be reduced from a 30 mph speed limit to 25 mph.
Members of the Transportation, Infrastructure and Planning Subcommittee approved lowering those speed limits last week, citing recommendations from city transportation staff based on factors like traffic and road conditions, school activity and residential use.
A transportation spokesperson says staff considers requests from citizens, as well as Phoenix council members, when considering what speed limit changes to propose to the full council.
